局部投影与VAR脉冲响应的估计量平均AI 解读

Local projections (LP) and vector autoregressions (VAR) are the two standard tools for impulse response analysis, but they often display a finite-sample trade-off: LP is typically less biased but more volatile, while VAR is more precise but can be biased under misspecification. We propose an easy-to-implement estimator-averaging approach that combines LP and VAR at each horizon by minimizing the mean squared error of the impulse response itself, rather than in-sample fit. We…

时变模型的聚类局部投影AI 解读

We propose a clustered local projection (clustered LP) method to estimate impulse response functions in a class of time-varying models where parameter variation is linked to a low-dimensional matrix of observables. We show that the clustered LP recovers the conditional average response when the driving variables are exogenous and a weighted average of the conditional marginal effects when they are endogenous. We propose an iterative estimation method that first classifies…
