Identification of Structural Vector Autoregressions by Stochastic Volatility

Dominik Bertsche et al.

Summary: This article proposes to use stochastic volatility for identifying structural vector autoregressive models (SV-SVAR) and develops efficient EM algorithms for inference. The research findings show that the SV-SVAR performs well in identifying structural parameters even under misspecification of the variance process.

Robust Bayesian inference in proxy SVARs

Raffaella Giacomini et al.

Summary: We develop robust Bayesian inference methods for structural vector autoregressions (SVARs) with set-identified parameters using external instruments, or 'proxy SVARs'. We extend existing approaches to proxy SVARs by allowing researchers to relax point-identifying restrictions and provide new results on the frequentist validity of the approach. We also explore the impact of instrument strength on inference about the identified set.

International Food Commodity Prices and Missing (Dis)Inflation in the Euro Area

Gert Peersman

Summary: Exogenous shifts in international food commodity prices have a significant impact on euro-area inflation volatility, contributing to the puzzle of missing inflation after the Great Recession. These shifts affect food retail prices through the production chain and have indirect inflationary effects through depreciation of the euro and rising wages. The inflationary effects vary across member states due to asymmetric wage responses.

Financial shocks, credit spreads, and the international credit channel*

Ambrogio Cesa-Bianchi et al.

Summary: This study provides evidence on the international transmission of US financial shocks and compares their effects to monetary policy and central bank information shocks. The findings suggest that financial shocks have a significant impact on the real economy through the international credit channel.

The role of precautionary and speculative demand in the global market for crude oil

ADVANCES IN USING VECTOR AUTOREGRESSIONS TO ESTIMATE STRUCTURAL MAGNITUDES

Christiane Baumeister et al.

Summary: This paper surveys recent advances in drawing structural conclusions from VARs and proposes the use of Bayesian inference to account for imperfect or erroneous prior information. It raises concerns about the reporting of VARs results that are set-identified using sign and other restrictions, and shows how to correctly estimate structural elasticities even with limited knowledge of shock effects.

Qualitative versus quantitative external information for proxy vector autoregressive analysis

Lukas Boer et al.

Summary: A major challenge in proxy vector autoregressive analysis is the construction of a suitable external instrument variable or proxy to identify a specific shock. Research shows that qualitative proxies can lead to impulse response estimates that are nearly as efficient or even more efficient than estimators based on more sophisticated quantitative proxies. Additionally, sign-proxies tend to provide more precise impulse response estimates compared to an approach based solely on the higher volatility of shocks on event dates.

Inference in Structural Vector Autoregressions identified with an external instrument

Jose L. Montiel Olea et al.

Summary: This paper examines Structural Vector Autoregressions that identify a structural shock using an external instrument and proposes a confidence set for impulse response coefficients that is weak-instrument robust.

Inference in Bayesian Proxy-SVARs

Jonas E. Arias et al.

Summary: Motivated by the increasing use of external instruments to identify structural vector autoregressions (SVARs), this study develops an algorithm for exact finite sample inference in this class of time series models, commonly known as Proxy-SVARs. The algorithm allows independent draws from any posterior distribution over the structural parameterization of a Proxy-SVAR. The approach enables researchers to simultaneously utilize proxies and traditional constraints to identify structural shocks, and demonstrates its methods through two applications.

Local Projections and VARs Estimate the Same Impulse Responses

Mikkel Plagborg-Moller et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that local projections and Vector Autoregressions can estimate the same impulse responses, with several implications discussed, such as the two being dimension reduction techniques with common estimands and the possibility of using LPs for structural identification equivalent to VARs.
