We study the inflation uncertainty reported by individual forecasters in the Survey of Professional Forecasters 1969 … asset pricing. We find that inflation uncertainty fluctuates over time in a way that traditional time series models fail to … capture. Instead, uncertainty is highly correlated with the level of inflation, in particular with recent positive inflation …

We propose a new approach to predictive density modeling that allows for MIDAS effects in both the first and second moments of the outcome and develop Gibbs sampling methods for Bayesian estimation in the presence of stochastic volatility dynamics. When applied to quarterly U.S. GDP growth data,...

We conduct a detailed simulation study of the forecasting performance of diffusion index-based methods in short samples with structural change. We consider several data generation processes, to mimic different types of structural change, and compare the relative forecasting performance of factor...
