In this study, we investigate forecasting performance of various univariate and multivariate models in predicting … inflation for different horizons. We design our forecast experiment for the post-oil boom years of 2010-2014 and compare … forecasting ability of the different models with that of naïve ones. We find that for all forecast horizons simple naïve models …

This paper surveys the recent literature on inflation forecasting and conducts an extensive empirical analysis on … forecasting inflation in Singapore, Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong paying particular attention to whether the inflation …-markup theory can help to forecast inflation. We first review the relative performance of different predictors in forecasting h …

Michigan Surveys of Consumers. While these measures have been useful in developing models of forecasting inflation, the data …I present evidence that higher frequency measures of inflation expectations outperform lower frequency measures of … inflation expectations in tests of accuracy, predictive power, and rationality. For decades, the academic literature has focused …

In this paper, we study main problems and practical issues of modeling and forecasting of macroeconomic variables in … variables and employ two forecasting methodologies (Waggoner and Zha (1999), Banbura, Giannone and Lenza (2014)) to construct … modeling and forecasting of macroeconomic variables and provide some policy recommendations to improve quality of statistical …

This paper addresses the issue of improving the forecasting performance of vector autoregressions (VARs) when the set …

This paper develops methods for automatic selection of variables in forecasting Bayesian vector autoregressions (VARs … Carlo experiment, and in forecasting 4 macroeconomic series of the UK using time-varying parameters vector autoregressions … (TVP-VARs). Restricted models consistently improve upon their unrestricted counterparts in forecasting, showing the merits …

The paper compares one-period ahead forecasting performance of linear vector-autoregressive (VAR) models and single …

to forecasting area-wide industrial production. To this end, we use various tests that are designed to compare competing …
