Are We Fragmented Yet? Measuring Geopolitical Fragmentation and Its Causal Effect
After decades of rising global economic integration, the world economy is fragmenting.To measure this, we introduce a geopolitical fragmentation index based on a dynamic hierarchical factor model with time-varying parameters and stochastic volatility.We then use structural vector autoregressions and local projections to assess the causal effects of fragmentation.Increased fragmentation negatively impacts the global economy, with emerging economie…
News-Driven Uncertainty Fluctuations
We investigate the channels through which news influences the subjective beliefs of economic agents, with a particular focus on their subjective uncertainty. The main insight of the article is that news that is more at odds with agents’ prior beliefs generates an increase in uncertainty; news that is more consistent with their prior beliefs generates a decrease in uncertainty. We illustrate this insight theoretically and then estimate the model e…
Real-Time Forecasting With a Mixed-Frequency VAR
This article develops a vector autoregression (VAR) for time series which are observed at mixed frequencies--quarterly and monthly. The model is cast in state-space form and estimated with Bayesian methods under a Minnesota-style prior. We show how to evaluate the marginal data density to implement a data-driven hyperparameter selection. Using a real-time dataset, we evaluate forecasts from the mixed-frequency VAR and compare them to standard qua…
