Model instability in predictive exchange rate regressions

Niko Hauzenberger, Florian Huber

In this paper we aim to improve existing empirical exchange rate models by accounting for uncertainty with respect to the underlying structural representation. Within a flexible Ba…

Stochastic model specification in Markov switching vector error correction models

Niko Hauzenberger, Florian Huber, Michael Pfarrhofer +1

This paper proposes a hierarchical modeling approach to perform stochastic model specification in Markov switching vector error correction models. We assume that a common distribut…

The transmission of uncertainty shocks on income inequality: State-level evidence from the United States

Manfred M. Fischer, Florian Huber, Michael Pfarrhofer

In this paper, we explore the relationship between state-level household income inequality and macroeconomic uncertainty in the United States. Using a novel large-scale macroeconom…

Introducing shrinkage in heavy-tailed state space models to predict equity excess returns

Florian Huber, Gregor Kastner, Michael Pfarrhofer

We forecast S&P 500 excess returns using a flexible Bayesian econometric state space model with non-Gaussian features at several levels. More precisely, we control for overparamete…

A Bayesian panel VAR model to analyze the impact of climate change on high-income economies

Florian Huber, Tamás Krisztin, Michael Pfarrhofer

In this paper, we assess the impact of climate shocks on futures markets for agricultural commodities and a set of macroeconomic quantities for multiple high-income economies. To c…

The dynamic impact of monetary policy on regional housing prices in the US: Evidence based on factor-augmented vector autoregressions

Manfred M. Fischer, Florian Huber, Michael Pfarrhofer +1

In this study interest centers on regional differences in the response of housing prices to monetary policy shocks in the US. We address this issue by analyzing monthly home price…

Predicting crypto-currencies using sparse non-Gaussian state space models

Christian Hotz-Behofsits, Florian Huber, Thomas O. Zörner

In this paper we forecast daily returns of crypto-currencies using a wide variety of different econometric models. To capture salient features commonly observed in financial time s…
