Granger-Causal-Priority and Choice of Variables in Vector Autoregressions

No 66, 2015 Meeting Papers from Society for Economic Dynamics

Abstract: We derive a closed-form expression for the posterior probability of Granger-noncausality in a Gaussian vector autoregression with a conjugate prior. We also express in closed form the posterior probability of Granger-causal-priority, a more general relation that accounts for indirect effects between variables and therefore is suitable in a multivariate context. We show how to use these results to choose variables for a vector autoregression, whether the goal is prediction or impulse response analysis.
