Abstract: The paper aims at developing new Bayesian Vector Error Correction – Stochastic Volatility (VEC-SV) models, which combine the VEC representation of a VAR structure with stochastic volatility, represented by either the multiplicative stochastic factor (MSF) process or the MSF-SBEKK specification. Appropriate numerical methods (MCMC-based algorithms) are adapted for estimation and comparison of these type of models. Based on data coming from the Polish economy (time series of unemployment, inflation, interest rates, and of PLN/EUR, PLN/USD and EUR/USD exchange rates) it is shown that the models and numerical methods proposed in our study work well in simultaneous modelling of volatility and long-run relationships.
