Machine Learning the Macroeconomic Effects of Financial Shocks
We propose a method to learn the nonlinear impulse responses to structural shocks using neural networks, and apply it to uncover the effects of US financial shocks. The results reveal substantial asymmetries with respect to the sign of the shock. Adverse financial shocks have powerful effects on the US economy, while benign shocks trigger much smaller reactions. Instead, with respect to the size of the shocks, we find no discernible asymmetries.

Macroeconomic Effect of Uncertainty and Financial Shocks: a non-Gaussian VAR approach
The Great Recession highlighted the role of financial and uncertainty shocks as drivers of business cycle fluctuations. However, the fact that uncertainty shocks may affect economic activity by tightening financial condi…

We present an econometric framework that adapts tools for scenario analysis, such as variants of conditional forecasts and impulse response functions, for use with dynamic nonparametric multivariate models. We demonstrat…
Bayesian Nonlinear Regression using Sums of Simple Functions
This paper proposes a new Bayesian machine learning model that can be applied to large datasets arising in macroeconomics. Our framework sums over many simple two-component location mixtures. The transition between compo…
