Mixed-Frequency VAR
Hello,
I am practicing on forecastign with Bayesian Mixed frequency VARS, using the kansas Fed file provided in the example. I estimated the model up to 2009Q and try to forecast, byt the Eviews crashes each time. Any clue?
thanks

Re: Mixed-Frequency VAR
Could you provide the exact settings you are using?

I have tried to forecast using Bayesian VAR with the mixed frequency VAR. The forecast program crashes each time. I notice a previous user had the same problem, but I did not see a resolution response.

Re: Mixed-Frequency VAR
Mixed frequency VAR file is attached. I have tried to forecast with the Bayesian method without success. The EViews YouTube does not mention that the variables need to be stationary. I assume the variables must be stationary. Looking at the Qtr. tab, VAR01 is a U-MIDAS VAR with non stationary variables. VAR02 is a Bayesian VAR with non stationary variables. VAR03 is a Bayesian VAR with stationary variables.

Re: Mixed-Frequency VAR
I am estimating a MFVAR with quarterly and monthly data and trying to produce nowcasts. Suppose I have quarterly data until Q2 and monthly data until August. If I understand the help file corretctly the forecast will not consider the monthy data available for Q3. Is there a way to use them?
Thanks
Thanks

Re: Mixed-Frequency VAR
I'd like to use the monthly data to create a sort of coditional forecast for the quarterly series.
Thanks
Thanks

You’ll have to provide more detail.
From a mathematical point of view, how do you want the model to use that August value?
