Regime-Switching Global Vector Autoregressive Models

Binder, Michael - 2013

The purpose of the paper is to develop a Regime-Switching Global Vector Autoregressive (RS-GVAR) model. The RS-GVAR model allows for recurring or non-recurring structural changes in all or a subset of countries. It can be used to generate regime-dependent impulse response functions which are...

Bayesian Inference in Cointegrated VAR Models : With Applications to the Demand for Euro Area M3

Warne, Anders - 2021

The paper considers a Bayesian approach to the cointegrated VAR model with a uniform prior on the cointegration space …. Building on earlier work by Villani (2005b), where the posterior probability of the cointegration rank can be calculated … the marginal likelihood identity is used for calculating these probabilities, a point estimator of the cointegration space …

Forecasting Inflation with Gradual Regime Shifts and Exogenous Information

Hubrich, Kirstin - 2011

We propose a new method for medium-term forecasting using exogenous information. We first show how a shifting-mean autoregressive model can be used to describe characteristic features in inflation series. This implies that we decompose the inflation process into a slowly moving nonstationary...

Fiscal Policy Adjustments in the Euro Area Stressed Countries : New Evidence from Non-Linear Models with State-Varying Thresholds

De Santis, Roberto A. - 2015

We introduce a non-linear model to study the adjustment of fiscal policy variables in Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain over the last 50 years, based on endogenously estimated budget deficit-to-GDP thresholds, which vary with fiscal disequilibria, the economic cycle and financial market...

Energy Supply Shocks’ Nonlinearities on Output and Prices

De Santis, Roberto A.; Tornese, Tommaso - 2023

We use a Bayesian Threshold Vector Autoregression model identified through sign and narrative restrictions to uncover non-linearities in the propagation of energy supply shocks. We find that the transmission of energy supply shocks on consumer prices is stronger in high-inflation regimes,...

Deflationary Financial Shocks and Inflationary Uncertainty Shocks : An SVAR Investigation

De Santis, Roberto A.; Van der Veken, Wouter - 2022

What are the economic implications of financial and uncertainty shocks? We show that financial shocks cause a decline in output and goods prices, while uncertainty shocks cause a decline in output and an increase in goods prices. In response to un-certainty shocks, firms increase their markups,...

Mending the Broken Link : Heterogeneous Bank Lending and Monetary Policy Pass-Through

Altavilla, Carlo - 2017

We analyse the pass-through of monetary policy measures to lending rates to firms and households in the euro area using a unique bank-level dataset. Bank balance sheet characteristics such as the capital ratio and the exposure to sovereign debt are responsible for the heterogeneity of...

House Prices and Monetary Policy in the Euro Area : Evidence from Structural VARs

Nocera, Andrea - 2017

We use a Bayesian stochastic search variable selection structural VAR model to investigate the heterogeneous impact of housing demand shocks on the macro-economy and the role of house prices in the monetary policy transmission, across euro area countries. A novel set of identification...

VAR for VaR : Measuring Tail Dependence Using Multivariate Regression Quantiles

White, Jr., Halbert L. - 2015

This paper proposes methods for estimation and inference in multivariate, multi-quantile models. The theory can simultaneously accommodate models with multiple random variables, multiple confidence levels, and multiple lags of the associated quantiles. The proposed framework can be conveniently...

Modelling Global Trade Flows : Results from a GVAR Model

Bussière, Matthieu - 2015

This paper uses a Global Vector Auto-Regression (GVAR) model in a panel of 21 emerging market and advanced economies to investigate the factors behind the dynamics of global trade flows, with a particular view on the issue of global trade imbalances and on the conditions of their unwinding. The...
