Abstract

Asymptotic normality of the Bayesian posterior is a well-known result for stationary dynamic models or nondynamic models. This paper extends the analysis to a time series model with a possible nonstationary process. We spell out conditions under which asymptotic normality of the posterior is obtained even if the true data-generation process is a nonstationary process.
