Particle Filters and Bayesian Inference in Financial Econometrics

In this paper we review sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods, or particle fi lters (PF), with special emphasis on its potential applications in fi nancial time series analysis and econometrics. We start with the well-known normal dynamic linear model, also known as the normal linear state space mode...

We start with the well-known normal dynamic linear model, also known as the normal linear state space model, for which sequential state learning is available in closed form via standard Kalman fi lter and Kalman smoother recursions. Particle fi lters are then introduced as a set of Monte Carlo schemes that enable Kalman-type recursions when normality or linearity or both are abandoned. The seminal bootstrap fi lter (BF) of Gordon, Salmond and Smith (1993) is used to introduce the SMC jargon, potentials and limitations.
