Clustered Local Projections for Short and Ultra-Short Time Series -- A Hierarchical Bayesian Framework
短与超短时间序列的聚类局部投影:分层贝叶斯框架
Estimating the dynamic effects of economic shocks in short and very short samples is impeded by a lack of degrees of freedom. We offer a solution based on a Bayesian hierarchical framework for estimating local projection (LP) impulse response functions across a panel of related time series. The framework explicitly accommodates unbalanced panels in which some series are substantially shorter than others, allowing the short series to borrow information from longer ones at…
