In this paper, a Bayesian approach is suggested to compare unit root models with stationary models when both the level and the error variance are subject to structural changes (known as breaks) of an unknown date. The paper utilizes analytic and Monte Carlo integration techniques for calculating...

In this article, a Bayesian approach is suggested to compare unit root models with stationary autoregressive models when the level, the trend, and the error variance are subject to structural changes (known as breaks) of an unknown date. Ignoring structural breaks in the error variance may be...

In this paper, a Bayesian approach is suggested to compare unit root models with stationary autoregressive models when both the level and the error variance are subject to structural changes (known as breaks) of an unknown date. Ignoring structural breaks in the error variance may be responsible...

In this paper a Bayesian approach to unit root testing for panel data models is proposed based on the comparison of stationary autoregressive models with and without individual determinist trends, with their counterpart models with unit autoregressive roots. This is done under cross-sectional...

We propose a new approach to forecasting the term structure of interest rates, which allows to efficiently extract the information contained in a large panel of yields. In particular, we use a large Bayesian Vector Autoregression (BVAR) with an optimal amount of shrinkage towards univariate AR...
