Markov-Switching Vector Autoregressions Modelling, Statistical Inference, and Application to Business Cycle Analysis

This book contributes to re cent developments on the statistical analysis of multiple time series in the presence of regime shifts. Markov-switching models have become popular for modelling non-linearities and regime shifts, mainly, in univariate eco­ nomic time series. This study is intended to pro...
