Regularized estimation of structural instability in factor models : the US macroeconomy and the great moderation
Callot, Laurent; Kristensen, Johannes Tang - 2015
This paper shows that the parsimoniously time-varying methodology of Callot and Kristensen (2015) can be applied to factor models. We apply this method to study macroeconomic instability in the US from 1959:1 to 2006:4 with a particular focus on the Great Moderation. Models with parsimoniously...

The effect of the great moderation on the US business cycle in a time-varying multivariate trend-cycle model
Creal, Drew; Koopman, Siem Jan; Zivot, Eric - 2008
accounts for time variation in macroeconomic volatility, known as the great moderation. In particular, we consider an … volatility processes and mixture distributions for the irregular components and the common cycle disturbances enable us to … that time-varying volatility is only present in the a selection of idiosyncratic components while the coefficients driving …

The changing transmission of uncertainty shocks in the US : an empirical analysis
Mumtaz, Haroon; Theodoridis, Konstantinos - 2014
This paper investigates if the impact of uncertainty shocks on the US economy has changed over time. To this end, we develop an extended Factor Augmented VAR model that simultaneously allows the estimation of a measure of uncertainty and its time-varying impact on a range of variables. We find...

Uncertainty and Monetary Policy in Good and Bad Times : A Replication of the VAR Investigation by Bloom (2009)
Caggiano, Giovanni - 2020
This paper revisits the well-known VAR evidence on the real effects of uncertainty shocks by Bloom (Econometrica 2009(3): 623-685. doi: 10.3982/ECTA6248). We replicate the results in a narrow sense using Eviews. In a wide sense, we extend his study by working with a smooth transition-VAR...

How do Oil Shocks Transmit Through the US Economy? Evidence from a Large BVAR Model with Stochastic Volatility
Fry-McKibbin, Renee; Zhu, Beili - 2021
This paper employs a large BVAR model with common stochastic volatility to examine the effects of oil supply shocks … 2019Q2. Generalized impulse response functions calculated using stochastic volatility provide a time-varying account of the …

A Monthly Volatility Index for the US Real Economy
Frale, Cecilia - 2009
We estimate the monthly volatility of the US economy from 1959 to 2008 by extending the factor model of Stock and … Watson (1991). The volatility of the factor, which we call VOLINX, has three applications.First, it measures the changes in … uncertainty in the economy. VOLINX captures the decrease in the volatility in the mid-80s (the so-called Great Moderation) as well …

Estimating the real effects of uncertainty shocks at the Zero Lower Bound
Caggiano, Giovanni; Castelnuovo, Efrem; Pellegrino, Giovanni - 2017
We employ a parsimonious nonlinear Interacted-VAR to examine whether the real effects of uncertainty shocks are greater when the economy is at the ZeroLower Bound. We find the contractionary effects of uncertainty shocks to be statistically larger when the ZLB is binding, with differences that...
