Model misspecification in multivariate econometric models can strongly influence estimates of quantities of interest such as structural parameters, forecast distributions or responses to structural shocks, even more so if higher-order forecasts or responses are considered, due to parameter Model misspecification in multivariate econometric models can strongly influence estimates of quantities of interest such as structural parameters, forecast distributions or responses to structural shocks, even more so if higher-order forecasts or responses are considered, due to parameter convolution. We propose a simple method for addressing these specification issues in the context of Bayesian VARs. Our method, called coarsened Bayesian VARs (cBVARs), replaces the exact likelihood with a coarsened likelihood that takes into account that the model might be misspecified along important but unknown dimensions. Since endogenous variables in a VAR can feature different degrees of misspecification, our model allows for this and automatically detects the degree of misspecification. The resulting cBVARs perform well in simulations for several types of misspecification. Applied to US data, cBVARs improve point and density forecasts compared to standard BVARs.

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…
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…
Abstract We propose a Bayesian approach to Local Projections (LPs) that optimally addresses the empirical bias-variance trade-off intrinsic in the choice between direct and iterative methods. Bayesian Local Projections (BLPs) regularize LP regressions via informative priors and estimate impulse response functions that capture the properties of the data more accurately than iterative VARs. BLPs preserve the flexibility of LPs while retaining a degree of estimation uncertainty…
基于简单函数之和的贝叶斯非线性回归
This paper proposes a new Bayesian machine learning model that can be applied to large datasets arising in macroeconomics. Our framework sums over many simple two-component location mixtures. The transition between components is determined by a logistic function that depends on a single threshold variable and two hyperparameters. Each of these individual models only accounts for a minor portion of the variation in the endogenous variables. But many of them are capable of…
贝叶斯向量自回归与随机波动
Bayesian vector autoregressions (BVARs) are the workhorse in macroeconomic forecasting. Research in the last decade has established the importance of allowing time-varying volatility to capture both secular and cyclical variations in macroeconomic uncertainty. This recognition, together with the growing availability of large datasets, has propelled a surge in recent research in building stochastic volatility models suitable for large BVARs. Some of these new models are also…
具有随机波动率的变量排序不变大型贝叶斯 VAR
Many popular specifications for Vector Autoregressions (VARs) with multivariate stochastic volatility are not invariant to the way the variables are ordered due to the use of a lower triangular parameterization of the error covariance matrix. We show that the order invariance problem in existing approaches is likely to become more serious in large VARs. We propose the use of a specification which avoids the use of this lower triangular parameterization. We show that the…
