Summary We develop a large structural vector autoregression (SVAR) that is statistically identified using higher-order moments under non-Gaussian, mutually independent shocks, without imposing economically motivated restrictions. Estimation is performed via an efficient Gibbs sampler that scales well with dimensionality, and we introduce an estimator of the deviance information criterion to facilitate model comparison, including the evaluation of overidentifying economic…

Summary Different proxy variables used in fiscal policy structural vector autoregressions (SVARs) lead to contradicting conclusions regarding the size of fiscal multipliers. Our analysis suggests that the conflicting results may stem from violations of the proxy exogeneity assumptions. We propose a novel approach to include proxy variables in a Bayesian non-Gaussian SVAR, tailored to accommodate potentially endogenous proxies. Using our model, we find that increasing…

Summary Modeling and predicting extreme movements in GDP is notoriously difficult, and the selection of appropriate covariates and/or possible forms of nonlinearities are key in obtaining precise forecasts. In this paper, our focus is on using large datasets in quantile regression models to forecast the conditional distribution of US GDP growth. To capture possible nonlinearities, we include several nonlinear specifications. The resulting models will be huge dimensional, and…
