Unobserved-Component Time Series Models With Markov-Switching Heteroscedasticity: Changes in Regime and the Link Between Inflation Rates and Inflation Uncertainty
含马尔可夫转换异方差的不可观测成分时间序列模型:状态变化与通胀不确定性
In this article, I first extend the standard unobserved-component time series model to include Hamilton's Markov-switching heteroscedasticity. This will provide an alternative to the unobserved-component model with autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity, as developed by Harvey, Ruiz, and Sentana and by Evans and Wachtel. I then apply a generalized version of the model to investigate the link between inflation and its uncertainty (U.S. data, gross national product…
