Bandwidth plays an important role in determining the performance of local linear estimators. In this paper, we propose a Bayesian approach to bandwidth selection for local linear estimation of time-varying coefficient time series models, where the errors are assumed to follow the Gaussian kernel...

In this paper, we propose three new predictive models: the multi-step nonparametric predictive regression model and the multi-step additive predictive regression model, in which the predictive variables are locally stationary time series; and the multi-step time-varying coefficient predictive...

This paper introduces a factor-augmented forecasting regression model in the presence of threshold effects. We consider least squares estimation of the regression parameters, and establish asymptotic theories for estimators of both slope coefficients and the threshold parameter. Prediction...

We propose a novel spatial panel quantile regression method to investigate the impact of crude oil and carbon prices and neighboring fuel prices on regional retail fuel prices in the EU markets. This approach captures the changing price shock propagation and cross-market dependency of retail...
