Summary Adding multivariate stochastic volatility of a flexible form to large vector autoregressions (VARs) involving over 100 variables has proved challenging owing to computational considerations and overparametrization concerns. The existing literature works with either homoskedastic models or smaller models with restrictive forms for the stochastic volatility. In this paper, we develop composite likelihood methods for large VARs with multivariate stochastic volatility. These involve estimating large numbers of parsimonious models and then taking a weighted average across these models. We discuss various schemes for choosing the weights. In our empirical work involving VARs of up to 196 variables, we show that composite likelihood methods forecast much better than the most popular large VAR approach, which is computationally practical in very high dimensions: the homoskedastic VAR with Minnesota prior. We also compare our methods to various popular approaches that allow for stochastic volatility using medium and small VARs involving up to 20 variables. We find our methods to forecast appreciably better than these as well.
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…
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…
大规模贝叶斯 VAR 的条件投影方法
We develop fast methods for conditional forecasting and structural scenario analysis with high-dimensional Bayesian vector autoregressions (VARs). Our general framework features a factor structure on the reduced-form errors, which enables fast and order-invariant equation-by-equation estimation; suitably identified factors admit a structural interpretation. The scenarios are defined through separate distributional restrictions on observables, structural shocks and…
