Equilibrium business cycle models have typically less shocks than variables. As pointed out by Altug, 1989 and Sargent, 1989, if variables are measured with error, this characteristic implies that the model solution for measured variables has a factor structure. This paper compares estimation performance for the impulse response coefficients based on a VAR approximation to this class of models and an estimation method that explicitly takes into account the restrictions implied by the factor structure. Bias and mean squared error for both factor based and VAR based estimates of impulse response functions are quantified using, as data generating process, a calibrated standard equilibrium business cycle model. We show that, at short horizons, VAR estimates of impulse response functions are less accurate than factor estimates while the two methods perform similarly at medium and long run horizons.
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…
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…
通过稀疏性识别因子扩展 VAR 模型
This paper introduces a regularized factor-augmented vector autoregressive (RFAVAR) model which incorporates sparsity in the factor loadings. Within this framework, the factors can load on a subset of variables, thereby enabling factor identification and enhancing their economic interpretation. The proposed RFAVAR model allows to investigate the effects of structural shocks on economically interpretable factors and on all observed time series included in the model. We prove…
数据稀缺环境中以全球因子识别地方冲击:意大利区域财政乘数应用
We propose a novel econometric methodology for Structural Vector Autoregressions with external instruments (`proxy-SVARs' or `SVAR-IVs') in panel data characterized by strong cross-sectional dependence, dynamic heterogeneity, and limited availability of direct external instruments for the shocks of interest. For each unit, we specify a Factor-Augmented proxy-SVAR (`proxy-FA-SVAR') that incorporates factors summarizing cross-sectional information from the non-policy variables…
Summary We develop a large structural vector autoregression (SVAR) that is statistically identified using higher-order moments under non-Gaussian, mutually independent shocks, without imposing economically motivated restrictions. Estimation is performed via an efficient Gibbs sampler that scales well with dimensionality, and we introduce an estimator of the deviance information criterion to facilitate model comparison, including the evaluation of overidentifying economic…
因子模型的典范分解:弱因子无处不在
We derive a novel canonical decomposition of factor models encompassing both the static factor model - where factors are loaded only contemporaneously - and the Generalised Dynamic Factor Model - where factors are loaded with lags. This decomposition features a new term: the weak common component, defined as the difference between the dynamic and static common components. It is driven by (possibly infinitely many) non-pervasive weak factors which belong to the dynamically…
