Common large innovations across nonlinear time series
Abstract
We propose a multivariate nonlinear econometric time series model, which can beused to examine if there is common nonlinearity across economic variables. Themodel is a multivariate censored latent effects autoregression. The key featureof this model is that nonlinearity appears as separate innovation-likevariables. Common nonlinearity can then be easily defined as the presence ofcommon innovations. We discuss representation, inference, estimation anddiagnostics. We illustrate the model for US and Canadian unemployment and findthat US innovation variables have an effect on Canadian unemployment, and notthe other way around, and also that there is no common nonlinearity across theunemployment variables.Download Info
