Inference in mixed causal and noncausal models with generalized Student's t-distributions
The properties of Maximum Likelihood estimator in mixed causal and noncausal models with a generalized Student's t error process are reviewed. Several known existing methods are typically not applicable in the heavy-tailed framework. To this end, a new approach to make inference on causal and noncausal parameters in finite sample sizes is proposed. It exploits the empirical variance of the generalized Student's-t, without the existence of population variance. Monte Carlo simulations show a good performance of the new variance construction for fat tail series. Finally, different existing approaches are compared using three empirical applications: the variation of daily COVID-19 deaths in Belgium, the monthly wheat prices, and the monthly inflation rate in Brazil.

Optimization of the Generalized Covariance Estimator in Noncausal Processes
This paper investigates the performance of the Generalized Covariance estimator (GCov) in estimating and identifying mixed causal and noncausal models. The GCov estimator is a semi-parametric method that minimizes an obj…
Spectral estimation for mixed causal-noncausal autoregressive models
This paper investigates new ways of estimating and identifying causal, noncausal, and mixed causal-noncausal autoregressive models driven by a non-Gaussian error sequence. We do not assume any parametric distribution fun…
Nonlinear Fore(Back)casting and Innovation Filtering for Causal-Noncausal VAR Models
We introduce closed-form formulas of out-of-sample predictive densities for forecasting and backcasting of mixed causal-noncausal (Structural) Vector Autoregressive VAR models. These nonlinear and time irreversible non-G…
Detecting common bubbles in multivariate mixed causal-noncausal models
This paper proposes methods to investigate whether the bubble patterns observed in individual series are common to various series. We detect the non-linear dynamics using the recent mixed causal and noncausal models. Bot…
Spectral identification and estimation of mixed causal-noncausal invertible-noninvertible models
This paper introduces new techniques for estimating, identifying and simulating mixed causal-noncausal invertible-noninvertible models. We propose a framework that integrates high-order cumulants, merging both the spectr…
