Bayesian Analysis of Instrumental Variable Models: Acceptance-Rejection within Direct Monte Carlo
Zellner, Arnold (posthumously); Ando, Tomohiro; … - 2012
We discuss Bayesian inferential procedures within the family of instrumental variables regression models and focus on two issues: existence conditions for posterior moments of the parameters of interest under a flat prior and the potential of Direct Monte Carlo (DMC) approaches for efficient...

The R Package MitISEM: Mixture of Student-t Distributions using Importance Sampling Weighted Expectation Maximization for Efficient and Robust Simulation
Basturk, Nalan; Hoogerheide, Lennart; Opschoor, Anne; … - 2012
This paper presents the R package MitISEM, which provides an automatic and flexible method to approximate a non-elliptical target density using adaptive mixtures of Student-t densities, where only a kernel of the target density is required. The approximation can be used as a candidate density in...

Forecasting with DSGE models
Christoffel, Kai; Warne, Anders; Coenen, Günter - 2010
In this paper we review the methodology of forecasting with log-linearised DSGE models using Bayesian methods. We focus on the estimation of their predictive distributions, with special attention being paid to the mean and the covariance matrix of h-step ahead forecasts. In the empirical...

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...
