Abstract

Bayesian Vector Autoregressions (BVARs) have come a long way since the classic early work of Chris Sims and his co-authors, e.g., Sims (1980) and Doan et al. (1984), and have developed into one of the most popular tools for macroeconomic forecasting. The original Minnesota prior used in early work is still very popular, but a range of alternative priors have been proposed with various properties. In this chapter, we will discuss some of the many new VAR priors that have been proposed over the last decades and discuss their properties.
