Nonparametric Time-Varying Granger Causality

Published in Working Paper, 2025

A procedure that integrates an exponentially weighted moving average version of the Diks-Panchenko test with EWMA local density estimators to assess Granger causality in dynamic environments.

Multi-period Growth-at-Risk Forecasting with Recurrent Neural Network

Published in Working Paper, 2024

We propose to forecast multi-horizon Growth-at-Risk using flexible dynamic sequence models combining many-to-many recurrent neural networks with an objective function that guarantees non-crossing of quantile estimates.
