2 The VAR model Consider the vector autoregressive (VAR) model of order p, the VAR(p) model: y t = Φ [1] y t Φ [p] y t p + ε t, ε t NID(0, H), t = p + 1,..., T, where Φ [i] is coefficient matrix, i = 1,..., p, and H is variance matrix. For parameter estimation, forecasting, impulse response analysis, etc., we refer to Hamilton (1994) and Lutkepohl (2005), amongst many others. The VAR(p) model can be efficiently formulated as y t = ΦY t 1:p + ε t, Φ = [ Φ [1],..., Φ [p] ], Yt 1:p = ( y t 1,..., y t p We assume that the initial observation set {y 1,..., y p} is fixed and given. ) 2 / 32
3 Motivation for time-varying parameters in VAR model In macroeconometrics, vector-autoregressive (VAR) models are often extended with time-varying parameters, we have y t = Φ ty t 1:p + ε t, ε t NID(0, H t), t = p + 1,..., T. Earlier literature: Cogley/Sargent (2001 NBER): inflation-unemployment dynamics in changing monetary policy regimes Primiceri (2005 RES): role of monetary policy for macroeconomic performance in the 1970s and 1980s Canova/Ciccarelli (2004 JE, 2009 IER): Bayesian panel VAR models, multi-country analyses; Hubrich/Tetlow (2015 JME): amplification and feedback effects between financial sector shocks and economy in crises vs. normal times Prieto/Eickmeier/Marcellino (2016, JAE): role of financial shocks on macroeconomic variables during crisis 2008/09 3 / 32
4 Estimation for TV-VAR models The common approach to parameter estimation for VAR models with time-varying coefficients is based on Bayesian methods We develop an alternative methodology based on dynamic factors for VAR coefficient matrices and score-driven dynamics for the variance matrices: flexible modeling setup: it allows for wide variety of empirical specifications; simple, transparent and fast implementation: least squares methods and Kalman filter; relatively easy for estimation, impulse response, analysis and forecasting. Our approach is explored in more generality by Delle Monache et al. (2016): adaptive state space models 4 / 32
5 Outline Introduction Econometric Model Simulations Empirical application: Macro-financial linkages in the U.S. economy Conclusion 5 / 32
6 Time-varying autoregressive coefficient matrix TV-VAR model : y t = Φ ty t 1:p + ε t, ε t NID(0, H t), where we assume that sequence of variance matrices H p+1,..., H T is known and fixed, for the moment. The time-varying VAR coefficient is a matrix function, Φ t = Φ(f t) = Φ c + Φ f 1f 1,t + + Φ f r f r,t, where the unobserved r 1 vector f t has dynamic specification f t+1 = ϕf t + η t, η t N(0, Σ η), where ϕ is r r diagonal matrix of coefficients and Σ η = I r ϕϕ. 6 / 32
7 Linear Gaussian state space form We have y t = Φ ty t 1:p + ε t and Φ t = Φ(f t) = Φ c + Φ f 1 f 1,t + + Φ f r fr,t. Define ỹ t = y t Φ c Y t 1:p and consider the following equation equalities ] ỹ t = [Φ f 1 f t, Φ f r ft,r Y t 1:p + ε t [ ] (ft = Φ f 1,, ) Φf r I Np Yt 1:p + ε t ( ]) = Y t 1:p [Φ f 1,, Φf r vec ( ) f t I Np + εt ( ]) = Y t 1:p [Φ f 1,, Φf r Q f t + ε t. We let ( ]) Z t = Y t 1:p [Φ f 1,, Φf r Q, to obtain the linear Gaussian state space form ỹ t = Z tf t + ε t, f t+1 = ϕf t + η t, where the properties of the disturbances ε t and η t are discussed above. 7 / 32
8 Kalman filter Prediction error is defined as v t = y t E(y t F t 1 ; ψ): F t 1 is set of all past information, including past observations; ψ is the parameter vector that collects all unknown coefficients in Φ c, Φ f 1,..., Φf r, H p+1,..., H T, ϕ; when model is correct, the sequence {v p+1,..., v T } is serially uncorrelated; variance matrix of the prediction error is F t = Var(v t F t 1 ; ψ) = Var(v t; ψ). For a given vector ψ, the Kalman filter is given by v t = ỹ t Z ta t, F t = Z tp tz t + Ht, K t = ϕp tz t F t 1, a t+1 = ϕa t + K tv t, P t+1 = ϕp t(ϕ K tz t) + Σ η, with a t = E(f t F t 1 ; ψ) and variance matrix P t = Var(f t a t F t 1 ; ψ), for t = p + 1,..., T. Loglikelihood function is T l(ψ) = l t(ψ), t=p+1 l t(ψ) = N 2 log 2π 1 2 log Ft 1 2 v t F 1 t v t. 8 / 32
9 Parameter estimation (1) For model y t = Φ ty t 1:p + ε t, Φ t = Φ(f t) = Φ c + Φ f 1 f 1,t + + Φ f r f r,t, f t+1 = ϕf t + η t, parameter estimation concentrates on ϕ, Φ c and Φ f i, for i = 1,..., r. MLE is maximisation of l(ψ) wrt ψ, heavy task. Our strategy : Step 1: Use economic information (if available) to restrict entries of Φ c and Φ f i. Step 2: Obtain estimates of Φ c via least squares method on static VAR. Step 3: Only place coefficients of ϕ and Φ f i in ψ. Step 4: Estimate this ψ by MLE using the Kalman filter. Least squares estimate of Φ from static VAR is consistent estimate of Φ c. Notice that E(f t) = 0. MLE is for a small dimension of ψ. 9 / 32
10 Time-varying variance matrix Each Kalman filter step at time t requires a value for H t. We use score-driven approach of Creal et al. (2013) to let variance matrix H t change recursively over time. We have N 1 vector ft σ = vech(h t) with N = N(N + 1)/2 and dynamic specification ft+1 σ = ω + B f t σ + A s t, where ω is constant vector, A and B are square coefficient matrices and s t is innovation vector. Distinguishing feature of score-driven model is definition of s t as the scaled score vector of l t l t(ψ) with respect to f σ t. We have s t = S t t where S t is scaling matrix and t is gradient vector. 10 / 32
11 Score-driven model for time-varying variance matrix The transpose of the gradient vector is given by t = lt ft σ = l t vec(f t) vec(f t) vech(h t) = l t vec(f t) vec(h t) vech(h t), last equality holds since F t = Z tp tz t + Ht and Zt does not depend on Ht and Pt is function of H p+1,..., H t 1, but not H t. l t vec(f t) = 1 2 [ vec(vt v t ) (vec(f t)) ] ( F 1 t ) Ft 1, vec(h t) vech(h t) = D N, where D N is the N 2 N duplication matrix, see Magnus and Neudecker (2007). It follows that t = 1 2 D N ( F 1 t ) Ft 1 (vec(vt v t ) vec(f ) t). 11 / 32
12 Score-driven model for time-varying variance matrix The inverse of the information matrix is taken as scaling matrix S t for gradient vector. Information matrix: I t = E[ t t F t 1] = 1 ( ) 4 D N Ft 1 Ft 1 Var [ vec(v t v t ) vec(ft) F ] ( t 1 Ft 1 = 1 ( ) 4 D N Ft 1 Ft 1 (I N 2 + C N )D N = 1 ( ) 2 D N Ft 1 Ft 1 D N, since Var[vec(v t v t ) vec(ft) F t 1] = (I N 2 + C N ) (F t F t) and (I N 2 + C N )D N = 2 D N, where C N is the N 2 N 2 commutation matrix. The inverse of the information matrix: It 1 = 2D n + (Ft Ft)D+ N, ) Ft 1 where D + N = (D N D N) 1 D N is the elimination matrix for symmetric matrices. 12 / 32
13 Score-driven model for time-varying variance matrix We set the scaling as S t = I 1 t. The scaled score s t = It 1 t becomes s t = D + N (Ft Ft)D+ N D N(Ft 1 Ft 1 )[vec(v t v t ) vec(f t)] = D + [ N vec(vt v t ) vec(f ] t) = vech(v t v t ) vech(ft). For the score-driven update of the variance factors in ft σ, we obtain for t = p + 1,..., T. f σ t+1 = ω + A [ vech(v t v t ) vech(ft)] + B f σ t, The score updating function can easily be incorporated in the Kalman filter: v t = ỹ t Z ta t, F t = Z tp tz t + Ht, K t = ϕp tz t F t 1, a t+1 = ϕa t + K tv t, P t+1 = ϕp t(ϕ K tz t) + Σ η, U t = v t v t Ft, ft+1 σ = ω + Avech(U t) + Bft σ, H t+1 = unvech(ft+1 σ 13 / 32
14 Direct updating for time-varying variance matrix We have vec(h t) = D N vech(h t) = D N f σ t and we obtain vec(h t+1 ) = D N ω + D N A D + N [vec(vt v t ) vec(f t)] + D N B D + N vec(ht), for t = p + 1,..., T. When we specify D N A D + N = A A and D N B D + N = B B, we have with vech(ω) = ω. H t+1 = Ω + A ( v t v t F t ) A + B H tb, In case A = a I N and B = b I N, the updating reduces simply to H t+1 = Ω + a ( v t v t Ft ) + b Ht. This time-varying variance matrix updating equation can even more conveniently be incorporated within the Kalman filter: v t = ỹ t Z ta t, F t = Z tp tz t + Ht, K t = ϕp tz t F t 1, a t+1 = ϕa t + K tv t, P t+1 = ϕp t(ϕ K tz t) + Σ η, H t+1 = Ω + A (v t v t Ft) A + B H tb. 14 / 32
15 Parameter estimation (2) For model y t = Φ ty t 1:p + ε t with ε t NID(0, H t) f σ t = vech(h t), f σ t+1 = ω + B f σ t + A s t, additional parameter estimation concentrates on ω, A and B. MLE is maximisation of l(ψ) wrt ψ, remains light task. Our strategy : Step 4: Notice that under stationarity, E(f σ t ) = (I B) 1 ω. Step 5: Hence least squares estimate of H in static VAR is consistent estimate of unvech[(i B) 1 ω]. Step 6: Only place coefficients of A and B in ψ. Step 7: Estimate slightly extended ψ by MLE using the Kalman filter with ft σ or direct H t updating. MLE is for a small dimension of ψ. 15 / 32

24 Application: Macro-financial linkages Six-dimensional VAR with two lags, data from Prieto/Eickmeier/Marcellino (2016, JAE). Macroeconomic variables: Nominal GDP growth, inflation (GDP deflator). Financial variables: real house price inflation, corporate bond spread (Baa-Aaa), real stock price inflation, federal funds rate. Data transformations such that all time series are I (0).

26 Empirical specification VAR(2) model with two factors: where we assume that y t = Φ 1ty t 1 + Φ 2ty t 2 + ε t ε t N(0, H t) Φ jt = Φ c j + Φ f j,1f t,1 + Φ f j,2f t,2, j = 1, 2 Φ c 1 and Φ c 2 are full matrices, Φ f 1,1 and Φ f 2,1 are diagonal matrices and Φ f 1,2 and Φ f 2,2 have zero entries except for the four coefficients that measure the impact of the financial variables on GDP growth. Consequently, f t,1 captures the changing persistence in the six variables and f t,2 indicates how financial-macro spillovers vary over time. 26 / 32
