Dynamic Forecasts of Qualitative Variables: A Qual VAR Model of U.S. Recessions

Author

Listed:
  • Michael Dueker

Abstract

A rough implementation of Dueker (2005), "Dynamic Forecasts of Qualitative Variables: A Qual VAR Model of U.S. Recessions", JBES, vol 23, no 1, 96-104, which estimates a VAR with a "probit" equation using Gibbs sampling. (The data set has a version of the FedFunds rate from a different source, and uses the GDP deflator rather than the CPI)
