Estimation of Impulse Response Functions When Shocks are Observed at a Higher Frequency than Outcome Variables

Chudik, Alexander; Georgiadis, Georgios - 2021

This paper proposes mixed-frequency distributed-lag (MFDL) estimators of impulse response functions (IRFs) in a setup where (i) the shock of interest is observed, (ii) the impact variable of interest is observed at a lower frequency (as a temporally aggregated or sequentially sampled variable),...

On Approximating DSGE Models by Series Expansions

Lombardo, Giovanni - 2010

We show how to use a simple perturbation method to solve non-linear rational expectation models. Drawing from the applied mathematics literature we propose a method consisting of series expansions of the non-linear system around a known solution. The variables are represented in terms of their...

Statistical Tests and Estimators of the Rank of a Matrix and their Applications in Econometric Modelling

Camba-Méndez, Gonzalo; Kapetanios, George - 2021

Testing and estimating the rank of a matrix of estimated parameters is key in a large variety of econometric modelling scenarios. This paper describes general methods to test for and estimate the rank of a matrix, and provides details on a variety of modelling scenarios in the econometrics...

Modeling Euro Area Bond Yields Using a Time-Varying Factor Model

Adam, Tomas - 2017

In this paper, we study the dynamics and drivers of sovereign bond yields in euro area countries using a factor model with time-varying loading coeffi cients and stochastic volatility, which allows for capturing changes in the pricing mechanism of bond yields. Our key contribution is exploring...

A High Frequency Assessment of the ECB Securities Markets Programme

Ghysels, Eric - 2014

Policy impact studies often suffer from endogeneity problems. Consider the case of the ECB Securities Markets Programme: If Eurosystem interventions were triggered by sudden and strong price deteriorations, looking at daily price changes may bias downwards the correlation between yields and the...
