短期课程:Bayesian VAR models and forecasting

时间:201948-26

主讲人:Professor Sune Karlsson,Örebro University, School ofBusiness

课程大纲:Vector autoregressions(VARs) have become the workhorse model for macroeconomic forecasting. Theinitial use in economics was to a large degree motived by Sims (1980) critiqueof the incrediblerestrictions used by the large macroeconometric modelsdeveloped inthe 1970s and much effort was put into tools for policy analysisbased on VAR models.This role of the VAR model has to some degree been taken over bythe current crop ofDSGE models, a new generation of theory based models which are at times ill at easewith the data. The role of the VAR model as the baseline, serious,model for economicforecasting is, however, unchallenged. The popularity stems inpart from its relativesimplicity, flexibility and ability to fit the data but, ofcourse, also from its success as aforecasting device.

This short course surveys Bayesian approaches to inference in VAR models with afocus onforecasting. Oneimportant feature of the chapter is that it gathers many algorithms forsimulating from theposterior distribution of the parameters, some of which have not beenclearly statedpreviously. This provides the necessary tools for analyzing the posteriorand predictivedistributions and forecast with the models and priors that are studied inthe course.
