This paper discusses how the forecast accuracy of a Bayesian vector autoregression (BVAR) is affected by introducing …, estimated shrinkage, and no nonlinearity. Then I entertain alternative specifications of the zero lower bound: replace the … interest rate expectations to deal with the nonlinearity in the policy rate. Since the policy rate will remain low for some …
