Dynamic factor models (DFM) constitute an active and growing area of research, both in econometrics, in macroeconomics, and in finance. Many applications lie at the center of policy questions raised by the recent financial crises, such as the connections between yields on government debt, credit risk, inflation, and economic growth. This volume collects a key selection of up-to-date contributions that cover a wide range of issues in the context of dynamic factor modeling, such as specification, estimation, and application of DFMs. Examples include further developments in DFM for mixed-frequency data settings, extensions to time-varying parameters and structural breaks, for multi-level factors associated with subsets of variables, in factor augmented error correction models, and in many other related aspects. A number of contributions propose new estimation procedures for DFM, such as spectral expectation-maximization algorithms and Bayesian approaches. Numerous applications are discussed, including the dating of business cycles, implied volatility surfaces, professional forecaster survey data, and many more.

The field of climate econometrics has undergone rapid development in recent years, shaped by the growing demand for empirical methods that can rigorously assess the multifaceted interactions between the economy and the climate system. Situated at the intersection of climate science and econometric methodology, this field responds to the urgent need for tools that quantify the economic impacts of climate variability and long-term climate change. Rising policy interest, data availability, and the increasing frequency of extreme events have collectively motivated the expansion of climate econometrics as a recognized and distinct research area. This volume appears at a particularly timely juncture. The contributions assembled here reflect the current momentum in climate econometric research, both in theoretical development and empirical application.Advances in Econometrics publishes original scholarly econometrics papers with the intention of expanding the use of developed and emerging econometric techniques by disseminating ideas on the theory and practice of econometrics throughout the empirical economic business and social science literature.
