    Title: A survey of econometric methods for mixed-frequency data  Author(s): FORONI, Claudia; MARCELLINO, Massimiliano Date: 2013 Type of Publication: Working Paper Series/Report no.: EUI ECO Abstract: The development of models for variables sampled at different frequencies has attracted substantial interest in the recent econometric literature. In this paper we provide an overview of the most common techniques, including ...

    Title: Markov-Switching MIDAS Models  Author(s): GUÉRIN, Pierre; MARCELLINO, Massimiliano Date: 2011 Type of Publication: Working Paper Series/Report no.: EUI ECO Abstract: This paper introduces a new regression model - Markov-switching mixed data sampling (MS-MIDAS) - that incorporates regime changes in the parameters of the mixed data sampling (MIDAS) models and allows for the use of ...

    Title: Forecasting Nonlinear Aggregates and Aggregates with Time-varying Weights  Author(s): LUETKEPOHL, Helmut Date: 2010 Type of Publication: Working Paper Series/Report no.: EUI ECO Abstract: Despite the fact that many aggregates are nonlinear functions and the aggregation weights of many macroeconomic aggregates are timevarying, much of the literature on forecasting aggregates considers the case of linear ...

    Title: Forecasting Government Bond Yields with Large Bayesian VARs  Author(s): CARRIERO, Andrea; KAPETANIOS, George; MARCELLINO, Massimiliano Date: 2010 Type of Publication: Working Paper Series/Report no.: EUI ECO Abstract: We propose a new approach to forecasting the term structure of interest rates, which allows to efficiently extract the information contained in a large panel of yields. In particular, we use a large Bayesian Vector ...

    Title: Forecasting with Factor-augmented Error Correction Models  Author(s): MASTEN, Igor; BANERJEE, Anindya; MARCELLINO, Massimiliano Date: 2009 Type of Publication: Working Paper Series/Report no.: EUI RSCAS Abstract: As a generalization of the factor-augmented VAR (FAVAR) and of the Error Correction Model (ECM), Banerjee and Marcellino (2009) introduced the Factor-augmented Error Correction Model (FECM). The FECM combines error-correction, ...

    Title: Forecasting Exchange Rates with a Large Bayesian VAR  Author(s): CARRIERO, Andrea; KAPETANIOS, George; MARCELLINO, Massimiliano Date: 2008 Type of Publication: Working Paper Series/Report no.: EUI ECO Abstract: Models based on economic theory have serious problems at forecasting exchange rates better than simple univariate driftless random walk models, especially at short horizons. Multivariate time series models suffer from the ...

    Title: A Comparison of Estimation Methods for Vector Autoregressive Moving-Average Models  Author(s): KASCHA, Christian Date: 2007 Type of Publication: Working Paper Series/Report no.: EUI ECO Abstract: Classical Gaussian maximum likelihood estimation of mixed vector autoregressive moving-average models is plagued with various numerical problems and has been considered difficult by many applied researchers. These disadvantages ...
