R Code for Bayesian Inference for Structural Vector Autoregressions Identified with Markov-Switching Heteroskedasticity

by Tomasz Woźniak

Summary. The project provides source code and reproduction files for the paper mentioned below. Utility functions for the Gibbs sampler for Bayesian Structural Vector Autoregressions with Markov-Switching Heteroskedasticity, Savage-Dickey density ratio for uniqueness conditions and homoskedasticity hypothesis, and a marginal data density estimator are provided.

Keywords. SVAR-MSH, identification through heteroskedasticity, Savage-Dickey density ratio for uniquenss conditions, Gibbs sampler
