Time-Varying Model Averaging for FAVAR Models with Smooth Structural Changes
平滑结构变化下 FAVAR 模型的时变模型平均
Factor-augmented vector autoregressive (FAVAR) models serve as a powerful tool for forecasting economic and financial variables, particularly in environments with a large number of predictors. In this study, we propose a time-varying model-averaging method for FAVAR (TVMA-FAVAR) that accommodates smooth structural changes. To estimate the optimal time-varying combination weights, we develop a local leave-one-out cross-validation (LLOCV) criterion that is asymptotically…
