Boosted p-Values for High-Dimensional Vector Autoregression
Assessing the statistical significance of parameter estimates is an important step in high-dimensional vector autoregression modeling. Using the least-squares boosting method, we compute the p-value for each selected parameter at every boosting step in a linear model. The p-values are asymptotically valid and also adapt to the iterative nature of the boosting procedure. Our simulation experiment shows that the p-values can keep false positive rate under control in high-dimensional vector autoregressions. In an application with more than 100 macroeconomic time series, we further show that the p-values can not only select a sparser model with good prediction performance but also help control model stability. A companion R package boostvar is developed.

Output, Employment, and Price Effects of U.S. Narrative Tax Changes: A Factor-Augmented Vector Autoregression Approach
This paper examines the short- and long-run effects of U.S. federal personal income and corporate income tax cuts on a wide array of economic policy variables in a data-rich environment. Using a panel of U.S. macroeconom…
Non-linear dimension reduction in factor-augmented vector autoregressions
This paper introduces non-linear dimension reduction in factor-augmented vector autoregressions to analyze the effects of different economic shocks. I argue that controlling for non-linearities between a large-dimensiona…
