We develop importance sampling methods for computing two popular Bayesian model comparison criteria, namely, the marginal likelihood and deviance information criterion (DIC) for TVP-VARs with stochastic volatility. The proposed estimators are based on the integrated likelihood, which are substantially more reliable than alternatives. Specifically, integrated likelihood evaluation is achieved by integrating out the time-varying parameters analytically, while the log-volatilities are integrated out numerically via importance sampling. Using US and Australian data, we find overwhelming support for the TVPVAR with stochastic volatility compared to a conventional constant coefficients VAR with homoscedastic innovations. Most of the gains, however, appear to have come from allowing for stochastic volatility rather than time variation in the VAR coefficients or contemporaneous relationships. Indeed, according to both criteria, a constant coefficients VAR with stochastic volatility receives similar support as the more general model with time-varying parameters.
