This paper presents unprecedented exchange rate forecasting results, based upon a new model that approximates the gap …. The theoretical derivation of our forecasting equation is consistent with the monetary model of exchange rates. Our model … outperforms the random walk in out-of-sample forecasting of twelve major currency pairs over the short and long horizon forecasts …

We propose a new algorithm which allows easy estimation of Vector Autoregressions (VARs) featuring asymmetric priors and time varying volatilities, even when the cross sectional dimension of the system N is particularly large. The algorithm is based on a simple triangularisation which allows to...

We develop distress prediction models for non-financial small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) using a dataset from eight European countries over the period 2000-2009. We examine idiosyncratic and systematic covariates and find that macro conditions and bankruptcy codes add predictive power...
