Forecasting Government Bond Yields with Large Bayesian VARs
Carriero, Andrea; Kapetanios, George; Marcellino, … - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2010
We propose a new approach to forecasting the term structure of interest rates, which allows to efficiently extract the … forecasting performance of our proposed model relative to most of the existing alternative specifications. While most of the … and useful for forecasting. …

Forecasting Large Datasets with Bayesian Reduced Rank Multivariate Models
Carriero, Andrea; Kapetanios, George; Marcellino, … - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2009
The paper addresses the issue of forecasting a large set of variables using multivariate models. In particular, we … propose three alternative reduced rank forecasting models and compare their predictive performance for US time series with the …

Common Drifting Volatility in Large Bayesian VARs
Carriero, Andrea; Clark, Todd; Marcellino, Massimiliano - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2012
The estimation of large Vector Autoregressions with stochastic volatility using standard methods is computationally very demanding. In this paper we propose to model conditional volatilities as driven by a single common unobserved factor. This is justified by the observation that the pattern of...

Bayesian VARs: Specification Choices and Forecast Accuracy
Carriero, Andrea; Clark, Todd; Marcellino, Massimiliano - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2011
In this paper we discuss how the forecasting performance of Bayesian VARs is affected by a number of specification … lag length and of both; compare alternative approaches to h-step ahead forecasting (direct, iterated and pseudo …
