Forecasting and Stress Testing with Quantile Vector Autoregression
Chavleishvili, Sulkhan - 2019
We introduce a structural quantile vector autoregressive (VAR) model. Unlike standard VAR which models only the average interaction of the endogenous variables, quantile VAR models their interaction at any quantile. We show how to estimate and forecast multivariate quantiles within a recursive...
