There is a peculiar pleasure in riding out into the unknown? A pleasure which no second journey on the same trail ever affords.
Code
R package tvReg (in collaboration with Ruben Fernandez-Casal). It contains functions to estimate time-varying coefficients linear models, AR, panel data models, VAR, IRF and SURE models. Instructions and examples can be found in this vignette. Further explanation of methods and applications to economics and finance can be found in this article.
