The Evolving Impact of Global, Region-Specific, and Country-Specific Uncertainty
全球、地区特定与国家特定不确定性的时变影响
We develop a dynamic factor model with time-varying parameters and stochastic volatility, estimate it using a large panel of macroeconomic and financial data for 22 countries and decompose the variance of each variable in terms of contributions from uncertainty common to all countries (“global uncertainty”), region-specific uncertainty, and country-specific uncertainty. Among other findings, the estimates suggest that global uncertainty plays a primary role in explaining the…
