Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to discuss advances in time series econometrics from both a theoretical and applied perspective. We solicit the submission of papers whose novelty stems from the development and introduction of new time series econometric models. Concerning applied works, the issue is welcoming applications to macroeconomic and financial analysis, their interface, and contributions relevant for policy evaluation. We also welcome papers dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. We particularly welcome submissions highlighting interesting statistical challenges to which time series econometric methods can contribute.

Measuring Global Macroeconomic Uncertainty and Cross-Country Uncertainty Spillovers
by Graziano Moramarco
Econometrics 2023, 11(1), 2; https://doi.org/10.3390/econometrics11010002 - 28 Dec 2022

Abstract
We propose an approach for jointly measuring global macroeconomic uncertainty and bilateral spillovers of uncertainty between countries using a global vector autoregressive (GVAR) model. Over the period 2000Q1–2020Q4, our global index is able to summarize a variety of uncertainty measures, such as financial-market [...] Read more.
We propose an approach for jointly measuring global macroeconomic uncertainty and bilateral spillovers of uncertainty between countries using a global vector autoregressive (GVAR) model. Over the period 2000Q1–2020Q4, our global index is able to summarize a variety of uncertainty measures, such as financial-market volatility, economic-policy uncertainty, survey-forecast-based measures and econometric measures of macroeconomic uncertainty, showing major peaks during both the global financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. Global spillover effects are quantified through a novel GVAR-based decomposition of country-level uncertainty into the contributions from all countries in the global model. We show that this approach produces estimates of uncertainty spillovers which are strongly related to the structure of the global economy. Full article

A Parsimonious Test of Constancy of a Positive Definite Correlation Matrix in a Multivariate Time-Varying GARCH Model
by Jian Kang, Johan Stax Jakobsen, Annastiina Silvennoinen, Timo Teräsvirta and Glen Wade

Abstract
We construct a parsimonious test of constancy of the correlation matrix in the multivariate conditional correlation GARCH model, where the GARCH equations are time-varying. The alternative to constancy is that the correlations change deterministically as a function of time. The alternative is a [...] Read more.
We construct a parsimonious test of constancy of the correlation matrix in the multivariate conditional correlation GARCH model, where the GARCH equations are time-varying. The alternative to constancy is that the correlations change deterministically as a function of time. The alternative is a covariance matrix, not a correlation matrix, so the test may be viewed as a general test of stability of a constant correlation matrix. The size of the test in finite samples is studied by simulation. An empirical example involving daily returns of 26 stocks included in the Dow Jones stock index is given. Full article

In this paper, we consider the estimation of a dynamic panel data model with non-stationary multi-factor error structures. We adopted the common correlated effect (CCE) estimation and established the asymptotic properties of the CCE and common correlated effects mean group (CCEMG) estimators, as N and T tend to infinity. The results show that both the CCE and CCEMG estimators are consistent and the CCEMG estimator is asymptotically normally distributed. The theoretical findings were supported for small samples by an extensive simulation study, showing that the CCE estimators are robust to a wide variety of data generation processes. Empirical findings suggest that the CCE estimation is widely applicable to models with non-stationary factors. The proposed procedure is also illustrated by an empirical application to analyze the U.S. cigar dataset. Full article

This paper improves the existing literature on the shrinkage of high dimensional model and parameter spaces through Bayesian priors and Markov Chains algorithms. A hierarchical semiparametric Bayes approach is developed to overtake limits and misspecificity involved in compressed regression models. Methodologically, a multicountry large structural Panel Vector Autoregression is compressed through a robust model averaging to select the best subset across all possible combinations of predictors, where robust stands for the use of mixtures of proper conjugate priors. Concerning dynamic analysis, volatility changes and conditional density forecasts are addressed ensuring accurate predictive performance and capability. An empirical and simulated experiment are developed to highlight and discuss the functioning of the estimating procedure and forecasting accuracy. Full article

In this paper, we investigate the relationship between the RavenPack news-based index associated with coronavirus outbreak (Panic, Sentiment, Infodemic, and Media Coverage) and returns of two commodities—Bitcoin and gold. We utilized the novel quantile-on-quantile approach to uncover the dependence between the news-based index associated with coronavirus outbreak and Bitcoin and gold returns. Our results reveal that the daily levels of positive and negative shocks in indices induced by pandemic news asymmetrically affect the Bearish and Bullish on Bitcoin and gold, and fear sentiment induced by coronavirus-related news plays a major role in driving the values of Bitcoin and gold more than other indices. We find that both commodities, Bitcoin and gold, can serve as a hedge against pandemic-related news. In general, the COVID-19 pandemic-related news encourages people to invest in gold and Bitcoin.
