VC - A method for estimating time-varying coefficients in linear models

Ekkehart Schlicht

No 2019-22, Economics Discussion Papers from Kiel Institute for the World Economy

Abstract: This paper describes a moments estimator for a standard state-space model with coefficients generated by a random walk. This estimator does not require that disturbances are normally distributed, but if they are, the proposed estimator is asymptotically equivalent to the maximum likelihood estimator.
