In this paper, the author presents an efficient method of analyzing an interest-rate model using a new approach called 'data augmentation Bayesian forecasting.' First, a dynamic linear model estimation was constructed with a hierarchically-incorporated model. Next, an observational replication...

Stochastic volatility (SV) models usually assume that the distribution of asset returns conditional on the latent volatility is normal. This article analyzes SV models with a mixture-of-normal distributions in order to compare with other heavy-tailed distributions such as the Student-t...

This paper describes a GAUSS program of a Markov-chain sampling algorithm for GARCH models proposed by Nakatsuma (1998). This algorithm allows us to generate Monte Carlo samples of parameters in a GARCH model from their joint posterior distribution. The samples obtained by this algorithm are...

In this paper, we propose a new approach to constructing confidence sets for the timing of structural breaks. This approach involves using Markov-chain Monte Carlo methods to simulate marginal “fiducial” distributions of break dates from the likelihood function. We compare our proposed...

We contribute to the growing empirical literature on monetary and fiscal interactions by applying a sign restriction identification scheme to a structural TVP-VAR in order to disentangle and evaluate the policy shocks and policy transmissions. This in turn allows us to study the Great Recession...

Die Institutionen nationaler Arbeits- und Kapitalmärkte werden in der sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschung regelmäßig als Erklärung für unterschiedlich aktive Wagniskapitalindustrien vor allem in frühen Beteiligungsphasen gehandelt. Diese Arbeit nimmt eine Reihe von bivariaten Analysen aus...
