The Dynamic Persistence of Economic Shocks
We propose a novel framework for modeling time-varying persistence in economic time series, allowing for smoothly evolving heterogeneity in shock dynamics. We leverage localized regression techniques to flexibly identify changes in persistence over time, offering a data-driven alternative to traditional parametric models. We applied this methodology to U.S. inflation and stock market volatility data and found substantial persistence variations that align with key macroeconomic events and market conditions. The results reveal previously undetected pockets of predictability and provide significant increases in out-of-sample forecast accuracy. These findings have important implications for economic modeling, forecasting, and policy analysis.

Cross-Sectional Dynamics Under Network Structure: Theory and Macroeconomic Applications
Many environments in economics involve units linked by bilateral ties. I develop an econometric framework that rationalizes the dynamics of cross-sectional variables as the innovation transmission along fixed bilateral l…
Dimensionality ReductionPredicting the volatility of major energy commodity prices: the dynamic persistence model
Time variation and persistence are crucial properties of volatility that are often studied separately in energy volatility forecasting models. Here, we propose a novel approach that allows shocks with heterogeneous persi…
Neural ARFIMA model for forecasting BRIC exchange rates with long memory
Exchange rate forecasting remains a challenging problem, particularly for emerging economies, where the observed time series exhibit pronounced long-memory dependence, nonlinear dynamics, and sensitivity to macro-financi…
Fractional trends and cycles in macroeconomic time series
We develop a generalization of correlated trend-cycle decompositions that avoids prior assumptions about the long-run dynamic characteristics by modelling the permanent component as a fractionally integrated process and …
