This paper presents a computational approach to find an approximately minimax estimator for the classical Bounded Normal Mean problem. The suggested procedure is the Bayes estimator corresponding to an approximately least-favorable distribution obtained from a stochastic mirror ascent routine for concave maximization. The paper shows that both the approximately least-favorable distribution and the approximately minimax estimator are indeed close (in a sense we make precise) to their desired targets. Simulation evidence suggests that the approximately minimax estimator can yield, with a reasonable amount of compute, risk improvements from 6% to almost 18% relative to the minimax linear estimator (which is known to admit a maximal improvement of 20%). The approximately minimax estimator is then applied to the problem of how to best aggregate the information contained in local projections and vector autoregressions to estimate an impulse response coefficient.

We answer the question posed in the title with a nonlinear mixed-frequency vector autoregression, estimated with Bayesian additive regression trees. The model combines monthly macro-financial variables with quarterly bank lending survey data, and identifies the dynamic responses from high-frequency policy surprises. Sign asymmetry dominates; a tightening produces monetary policy transmission mostly in line with the theoretical predictions, whereas easing of any size produces…
面向二元、删失与计数变量的大型贝叶斯VAR
We extend the vector autoregression (VAR) to model binary, censored, count and unrestricted variables jointly, treating missing observations of any type in the same way. Each restricted observation is linked to a latent Gaussian variable, so that the standard machinery for VARs, such as shrinkage priors, stochastic volatility and outlier components, applies directly to the VAR for the latent variables. The latent variables have a truncated normal conditional distribution…
用非线性因子扩展贝叶斯 VAR 的灵活方法
This paper proposes a vector autoregression augmented with nonlinear factors that are modeled nonparametrically using regression trees. There are four main advantages of our model. First, modeling potential nonlinearities nonparametrically lessens the risk of misspecification. Second, the use of factor methods ensures that departures from linearity are modeled parsimoniously. In particular, they exhibit functional pooling where a small number of nonlinear factors are used to…
超越总量 VAR:异质性主体新凯恩斯模型的贝叶斯基准
Heterogeneous-agent New Keynesian (HANK) models characterize how entire cross-sectional distributions respond to structural shocks. Traditional representative-agent models are routinely disciplined by impulse responses from aggregate vector autoregressions (VARs). HANK models have no comparable established empirical benchmark because they make predictions not only about aggregates, but also about distributions of micro-level data. We propose a Bayesian benchmark that jointly…
使用 R 包 bsvars 快速高效分析贝叶斯结构向量自回归
The R package bsvars provides a wide range of tools for empirical macroeconomic and financial analyses using Bayesian Structural Vector Autoregressions. It uses frontier econometric techniques and C++ code to ensure fast and efficient estimation of these multivariate dynamic structural models, possibly with many variables, complex identification strategies, and non-linear characteristics. The models can be identified using adjustable exclusion restrictions and…
VAR 预测与脉冲响应的误设稳健收缩及选择
Vector autoregressions (VARs) are vulnerable to dynamic misspecification, forcing researchers to navigate complex bias-variance trade-offs when forecasting or estimating impulse response functions (IRFs). We derive novel, task-specific selection criteria -- PC for forecasting and IRFC for IRF estimation -- based on asymptotically unbiased estimates of frequentist risk under local dynamic misspecification. These criteria give empirical researchers a fully data-driven and…
