This paper evaluates the predictive out-of-sample forecasting properties of six different economic uncertainty variables for both growth in aggregate M2 and growth in household-sector M2 in the U.S. using data between 1971m1 and 2014m12. The core contention is that economic uncertainty improves...

In this paper we introduce Quasi Likelihood Ratio tests for one sided multivariate hypotheses to evaluate the null that a parsimonious model performs equally well as a small number of models which nest the benchmark. We show that the limiting distributions of the test statistics are non...

Das Kausalitaetskonzept von Granger und die Impuls-Antwort-Analyse sind zwei Konzepte, die haeufig verwendet werden, um kausale Beziehungen zwischen zwei Variablen in vektorautoregressiven (VAR) Modellen zu untersuchen. Wenn das VAR Modell mehr als zwei Variablen umfasst, besteht eine...
