Models based on economic theory have serious problems at forecasting exchange rates better than simple univariate … forecasting. In addition, we adopt a driftless random walk prior, so that cross-dynamics matter for forecasting only if there is …

Recently, there has been increasing interest in forecasting methods that utilise large datasets. We explore the … possibility of forecasting with model averaging using the out-of-sample forecasting performance of various models in a frequentist … setting, using the predictive likelihood. We apply our method to forecasting UK inflation and find that the new method …
