This paper uses multi-level factor models to characterize within- and between-block variations as well as idiosyncratic noise in large dynamic panels. Block-level shocks are distinguished from genuinely common shocks, and the estimated block-level factors are easy to interpret. The framework...

Within a New Zealand business cycle context, we assess whether Hamilton's (H84) OLS regression methodology produces stylised business cycle facts which are materially different from HP1600 measures, and whether using the H84 predictor and other forecast extensions improves the HP filter's...

An analytical formula is derived to approximate the finite sample bias of the ordinary least-squares (OLS) estimator of … the autoregressive parameter when the underlying process has a unit root. It is found that the bias is expressible in … asymptotic bias. More importantly, the formula proves analytically that the bias declines at a rate which is slower than the …

This research paper is interested to propose an alternative distributed lag model from a multi-dimensional perspective. It is entitled "The Mega-space Distributed Lag Model". The main objective of the Mega-space Distributed Lag Model is to study different micro and macroeconomic scenarios...

This paper considers issues related to identification, inference, and computation in linearized dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models. We first provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the local identification of the structural parameters based on the (first and) second...
