We argue that a proper assessment of Granger causality Sims and Granger concepts of non-causality and the Log-Likelihood Ratio testsįor each of them. We set a specialįocus on the design of measures that properly disentangle these two components.įurthermore, this disentangling leads us to revisit the equivalence between the The amount of causality because what they consider as a causality measure mayĪlso convey a measure of the amount of (non)-markovianity.

In this paper we argue that this common featureīetween (non)-markovianity and Granger causality has led people to overestimate Prediction: how much is the forecast accuracy deteriorated when forgetting some To set the focus on the interplay between measurement of (non)-markovianity and (1982) work in the context of Gaussian VAR processes, Schreiber (2000) has set a special focus on GrangerĬausality and dubbed the same measure “transfer entropy.” Both papers measureĬausality in the context of Markov processes.

She earned her bachelor’s degree from Universidad Nacional de Tucumán, a master’s degree from Centro de Estudios Monetarios y Financieros in Spain in addition to master’s and doctoral degrees in economics from Brown University.Abstract: Spatial models are a natural way to analyze Many of her current research projects focus on financial networks estimation and, more recently, at the intersection with NLP methods. She is particularly interested in applied econometrics and econometric methodology for time series. Her research interests lie in the areas of time series analysis, financial econometrics and financial networks. Scidá, who is originally from Tucumán, a small province in northern Argentina, joined the Richmond Fed in 2016. Until recently, she was the co-coordinator of the Quantitative Supervision and Research unit’s Seminars and Brown Bags series. Her supervisory experience includes model development and forecasting under stress conditions as well as examination from participation in the Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review program. In her previous role, she served as the Deputy Lead of the Pre-Prevision Net Revenue modeling team of the Federal Reserve System Stress Testing program. On the supervisory side, she leads an innovation project that leverages Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods and mapping techniques. Daniela Scidá is a manager and financial economist in the Supervision, Regulation and Credit department.
