Money growth and inflation
Amisano, Gianni; Fagan, Gabriel - 2010
We develop a time-varying transition probabilities Markov Switching model in which inflation is characterised by two regimes (high and low inflation). Using Bayesian techniques, we apply the model to the euro area, Germany, the US, the UK and Canada for data from the 1960s up to the present. Our...

Optimal Prediction Pools
Geweke, John; Amisano, Gianni - 2009
A prediction model is any statement of a probability distribution for an outcome not yet observed. This study considers the properties of weighted linear combinations of n prediction models, or linear pools, evaluated using the conventional log predictive scoring rule. The log score is a concave...

Comparing and evaluating Bayesian predictive distributions of assets returns
Geweke, John; Amisano, Gianni - 2008
Bayesian inference in a time series model provides exact, out-of-sample predictive distributions that fully and coherently incorporate parameter uncertainty. This study compares and evaluates Bayesian predictive distributions from alternative models, using as an illustration five alternative...

Money growth and inflation: a regime switching approach
Amisano, Gianni; Fagan, Gabriel - 2010
We develop a time-varying transition probabilities Markov Switching model in which inflation is characterised by two regimes (high and low inflation). Using Bayesian techniques, we apply the model to the euro area, Germany, the US, the UK and Canada for data from the 1960s up to the present. Our...

Uncertainty shocks, monetary policy and long-term interest rates
Amisano, Gianni; Tristani, Oreste - 2019
We study the relationship between monetary policy and long-term rates in a structural, general equilibrium model estimated on both macro and yields data from the United States. Regime shifts in the conditional variance of productivity shocks, or "uncertainty shocks", are an important model...
