This paper presents the parallel computing implementation of the MitISEM algorithm, labeled Parallel MitISEM. The basic MitISEM algorithm, introduced by Hoogerheide, Opschoor and Van Dijk (2012), provides an automatic and flexible method to approximate a non-elliptical target density using...

We develop a new model where the dynamic structure of the asset price, after the fundamental value is removed, is subject to two different regimes. One regime reflects the normal period where the asset price divided by the dividend is assumed to follow a mean-reverting process around a...

In this study, we investigate relative performance of various non-linear models against that of an autoregressive model in forecasting future inflation. We find that non-linear models have trivial forecast superiority over the univariate autoregressive model in terms of central forecast...

This paper provides a reverse mode derivative for DSGE models. Reverse mode differentiation enables the efficient computation of gradients from the model likelihood to the model parameters. These gradients can then be used by derivative based sampling algorithms including the No U-Turn Sampler....

In 2016 the Central Bank of Argentina began to announce inflation targets. In this context, providing authorities with good estimates of relevant macroeconomic variables is crucial for making pertinent corrections in order to reach the desired policy goals. This paper develops a group of models...

This paper investigates time-changed infinite activity derivatives pricing models from the sequential Bayesian perspective. It proposes a sequential Monte Carlo method with the proposal density generated by the unscented Kalman filter. This approach overcomes to a large extent the particle...
