Title:Forecasting Macroeconomic Variables Using Diffusion Indexes in Short Samples with Structural Change Author(s):BANERJEE, Anindya; MARCELLINO, Massimiliano
; MASTEN, IgorDate:2008Type:Working PaperSeries/Number:EUI ECO; 2008/17Abstract:We conduct a detailed simulation study of the forecasting performance of
diffusion index-based methods in short samples with structural change. We
consider several data generation processes, to mimic different types ...

Title:Pre-announcement and Timing - The Effects of a Government Expenditure Shock Author(s):KRIWOLUZKY, AlexanderDate:2009Type:Working PaperSeries/Number:EUI ECO; 2009/40Abstract:This paper investigates the effect of a government expenditure shock on consumption and real wages. I identify the shock by exploiting its pre-announced nature, i.e. different signs of the responses in investment, hours ...
Title:Structural Vector Autoregressions with Markov Switching Author(s):LANNE, Markku; LUETKEPOHL, Helmut
; MACIEJOWSKA, KatarzynaDate:2009Type:Working PaperSeries/Number:EUI ECO; 2009/06Abstract:Abstract. It is argued that in structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) analysis a Markov regime switching (MS) property can be exploited to identify shocks if the reduced form error covariance matrix varies across regimes. ...

Title:A Comparison of Estimation Methods for Vector Autoregressive Moving-Average Models Author(s):KASCHA, ChristianDate:2007Type:Working PaperSeries/Number:EUI ECO; 2007/12Abstract: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 ...
Title:Empirical Simultaneous Confidence Regions for Path-Forecasts Author(s):JORDÀ, Òscar; KNÜPPEL, Malte; MARCELLINO, Massimiliano
Date:2010Type:Working PaperSeries/Number:EUI ECO; 2010/18Abstract:Measuring and displaying uncertainty around path-forecasts, i.e. forecasts made in period T about the expected trajectory of a random variable in periods T+1 to T+H is a key ingredient for decision making under uncertainty. ...

Title:Labor Market Dynamics and the Business Cycle: Structural Evidence for the United States Author(s):RAVN, Morten O.; SIMONELLI, SaverioDate:2007Type:Working PaperSeries/Number:EUI ECO; 2007/13Abstract:We use a 12-dimensional VAR to examine the dynamic effects on the labor market of four struc-
tural technology and policy shocks. For each shock, we examine the dynamic effects on the labor
market, the importance of the ...
Title:Forecasting Contemporaneous Aggregates with Stochastic Aggregation Weights Author(s):BRUEGGEMANN, Ralf; LUETKEPOHL, Helmut
Date:2011Type:Working PaperSeries/Number:EUI ECO; 2011/17Abstract:Many contemporaneously aggregated variables have stochasticaggregation weights. We compare different forecasts for such variables including univariate forecasts of the aggregate, a multivariate forecast of the aggregate ...

Title:Forecasting Levels of log Variables in Vector Autoregressions Author(s):BARDSEN, Gunnar; LUETKEPOHL, Helmut
Date:2009Type:Working PaperSeries/Number:EUI ECO; 2009/24Abstract:Sometimes forecasts of the original variable are of interest although a variable appears in logarithms (logs) in a system of time series. In that case converting the forecast for the log of the variable to a naive forecast ...

Title:Structural Vector Autoregressions with Markov Switching: Combining conventional with statistical identification of shocks Author(s):HERWARTZ, Helmut; LUETKEPOHL, Helmut
Date:2011Type:Working PaperSeries/Number:EUI ECO; 2011/11Abstract:In structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) analysis a Markov regime switching (MS) property can be exploited to identify shocks if the reduced form error covariance matrix varies across regimes. Unfortunately, these shocks ...

Title:Reaction to Technology Shocks in Markov-Switchings Structural VARs: Identification via heteroskedasticity Author(s):NETŠUNAJEV, AlekseiDate:2012Type:Working PaperSeries/Number:EUI ECO; 2012/13Abstract:The paper reconsiders the conflicting results in the debate connected to the effects of technology shocks on hours worked in the bivariate system. Given major dissatisfaction with the just-identifying long-run restrictions, ...
