The Time-Varying Multivariate Autoregressive Index Model
Many economic variables feature changes in their conditional mean and volatility, and Time Varying Vector Autoregressive Models are often used to handle such complexity in the data. Unfortunately, when the number of series grows, they present increasing estimation and interpretation problems. This paper tries to address this issue proposing a new Multivariate Autoregressive Index model that features time varying means and volatility. Technically, we develop a new estimation methodology that mix switching algorithms with the forgetting factors strategy of Koop and Korobilis (2012). This substantially reduces the computational burden and allows to select or weight, in real time, the number of common components and other features of the data using Dynamic Model Selection or Dynamic Model Averaging without further computational cost. Using USA macroeconomic data, we provide a structural analysis and a forecasting exercise that demonstrates the feasibility and usefulness of this new model. Keywords: Large datasets, Multivariate Autoregressive Index models, Stochastic volatility, Bayesian VARs.

VAR models with an index structure: A survey with new results
The main aim of this paper is to review recent advances in the multivariate autoregressive index model [MAI], originally proposed by <cite>reinsel1983some</cite>, and their applications to economic and financial time ser…
Time SeriesTemporal Clustering of Time Series via Threshold Autoregressive Models: Application to Commodity Prices
This study aimed to find temporal clusters for several commodity prices using the threshold non-linear autoregressive model. It is expected that the process of determining the commodity groups that are time-dependent wil…

Due to the skessed distribution, high peak and thick tail and asymmetry of financial return data, it is difficult to describe the traditional distribution. In recent years, generalized autoregressive score (GAS) has been…
Zero-Coupon Treasury Rates and Returns using the Volatility Index
We study a multivariate autoregressive stochastic volatility model for the first 3 principal components (level, slope, curvature) of 10 series of zero-coupon Treasury bond rates with maturities from 1 to 10 years. We fit…
