Researchers have developed a new statistical model called Vine Copula VAR, designed to improve joint-event forecasts by accounting for overlapping estimation errors. This model combines dependence estimates from past forecast errors with newly estimated marginal distributions. The derived covariance estimator provides asymptotically valid intervals for fixed one-sided event probabilities, with Monte Carlo simulations indicating that terminal-margin uncertainty is more significant than additional covariance terms. An application to U.S. macroeconomic releases demonstrated the model's ability to quantify uncertainty in predicted probabilities of joint contractions. AI
