Low frequency and weighted likelihood solutions for mixed frequency dynamic factor models

Blasques, Francisco; Koopman, Siem Jan; Mallee, Max I. P. - 2014

The multivariate analysis of a panel of economic and financial time series with mixed frequencies is a challenging problem. The standard solution is to analyze the mix of monthly and quarterly time series jointly by means of a multivariate dynamic model with a monthly time index: artificial...

Spillover dynamics for systemic risk measurement using spatial financial time series models

Blasques, Francisco; Koopman, Siem Jan; Lucas, André; … - 2014

We introduce a new model for time-varying spatial dependence. The model extends the well-known static spatial lag model. All parameters can be estimated conveniently by maximum likelihood. We establish the theoretical properties of the model and show that the maximum likelihood estimator for the...

Modeling the Business and Financial Cycle in a Multivariate Structural Time Series Model

de Winter, Jasper - 2017

We consider a multivariate unobserved component time series model to disentangle the short-term and medium-term cycle for the G7 countries and the Netherlands using four key macroeconomic and financial time series. The novel aspect of our approach is that we simultaneously decompose the...

Measuring Financial Cycles with a Model-Based Filter : Empirical Evidence for the United States and the Euro Area

Galati, Gabriele - 2016

The financial cycle captures systematic patterns in the financial system and is closely related to the concept of procyclicality of systemic risk. This paper investigates the characteristics of financial cycles using a multivariate model-based filter. We extract cycles using an unobserved...

The information in systemic risk rankings

Nucera, Federico; Schwaab, Bernd; Koopman, Siem Jan; … - 2015

We propose to pool alternative systemic risk rankings for financial institutions using the method of principal components. The resulting overall ranking is less affected by estimation uncertainty and model risk. We apply our methodology to disentangle the common signal and the idiosyncratic...

Measuring financial cycles in a model-based analysis : empirical evidence for the United States and the euro area

Galati, Gabriele; Hindrayanto, Irma; Koopman, Siem Jan; … - 2016

We adopt an unobserved components time series model to extract financial cycles for the United States and the five largest euro area countries over the period 1970 to 2014. We find that credit, the credit-to-GDP ratio and house prices have medium-term cycles which share a few common statistical...
