摘要
En 中文
Large Bayesian vector autoregressions with various forms of stochastic volatility have become increasingly popular in empirical macroeconomics. One main difficulty for practitioners is to choose the most suitable stochastic volatility specification for their particular application. We develop Bayesian model comparison methods-based on marginal likelihood estimators that combine conditional Monte Carlo and adaptive importance sampling-to choose among a variety of stochastic volatility specifications. The proposed methods can also be used to select an appropriate shrinkage prior on the VAR coefficients, which is a critical component for avoiding over-fitting in high-dimensional settings. Using US quarterly data of different dimensions, we find that both the Cholesky stochastic volatility and factor stochastic volatility outperform the common stochastic volatility specification. Their superior performance, however, can mostly be attributed to the more flexible priors that accommodate cross-variable shrinkage. (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
