We introduce a new model for time-varying spatial dependence. The model extends the well-known static spatial lag model. All parameters can be estimated conveniently by maximum likelihood. We establish the theoretical properties of the model and show that the maximum likelihood estimator for the...

A new model for time-varying spatial dependencies is introduced. It forms an extension to the popular spatial lag model and can be estimated conveniently by maximum likelihood. The spatial dependence parameter is assumed to follow a generalized autoregressive score (GAS) process. The theoretical...

We investigate the information theoretic optimality properties of the score function of the predictive likelihood as a device to update parameters in observation driven time-varying parameter models. The results provide a new theoretical justification for the class of generalized autoregressive...

This paper explores the potential correlations between financial development and state fragility, using a sample of 137 countries observed over the period from 1998-2019. The countries are grouped into clusters that capture the different joint states of financial development and fragility. The...

We introduce a new and general methodology for analyzing vector autoregressive models with time-varying coefficient matrices and conditionally heteroskedastic disturbances. Our proposed method is able to jointly treat a dynamic latent factor model for the autoregressive coefficient matrices and...

We propose a new unified approach to identifying and estimating spatio-temporal dependence structures in large panels. The model accommodates global cross-sectional dependence due to global dynamic factors as well as local cross-sectional dependence, which may arise from local network...
