内生性检验：一种基于矩的贝叶斯方法AI 解读

A standard assumption in the Bayesian estimation of linear regression models is that the regressors are exogenous in the sense that they are uncorrelated with the model error term. In practice, however, this assumption can be invalid. In this article, using the exponentially tilted empirical likelihood (ETEL) framework, we develop a Bayes factor test for endogeneity that compares a base model that is correctly specified under exogeneity but misspecified under endogeneity…

概率预测的聚合：欧元区通胀与实际利率预测密度的正则化混合AI 解读

We propose methods for constructing regularized mixtures of density forecasts. We explore a variety of objectives and regularization penalties, and we use them in a substantive exploration of Eurozone inflation and real interest rate density forecasts. All individual inflation forecasters (even the ex post best forecaster) are outperformed by our regularized mixtures. From the Great Recession onward, the optimal regularization tends to move density forecasts’ probability…

多元随机波动率模型中的宏观预测与变量排序AI 解读

We document five novel empirical findings on the well-known potential ordering drawback associated with the time-varying parameter vector autoregression with stochastic volatility developed by Cogley and Sargent (2005) and Primiceri (2005). First, the ordering does not affect point prediction. Second, the standard deviation of the predictive densities implied by different orderings can differ substantially. Third, the average length of the prediction intervals is also…

条件矩模型的贝叶斯估计与比较AI 解读

Abstract We consider the Bayesian analysis of models in which the unknown distribution of the outcomes is specified up to a set of conditional moment restrictions. The non-parametric exponentially tilted empirical likelihood function is constructed to satisfy a sequence of unconditional moments based on an increasing (in sample size) vector of approximating functions (such as tensor splines based on the splines of each conditioning variable). For any given sample size,…

矩条件模型的贝叶斯估计与比较AI 解读

In this article, we develop a Bayesian semiparametric analysis of moment condition models by casting the problem within the exponentially tilted empirical likelihood (ETEL) framework. We use this framework to develop a fully Bayesian analysis of correctly and misspecified moment condition models. We show that even under misspecification, the Bayesian ETEL posterior distribution satisfies the Bernstein–von Mises (BvM) theorem. We also develop a unified approach based on…

含随机波动率的 DSGE 模型：实时预测评估AI 解读

Recent work has analyzed the forecasting performance of standard dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models, but little attention has been given to DSGE models that incorporate nonlinearities in exogenous driving processes. Against that background,we explore whether incorporating stochastic volatility improves DSGE forecasts (point, interval, and density). We examine real-time forecast accuracy for key macroeconomic variables including output growth, inflation, and…
