This paper presents a comprehensive literature review of the theoretical and empirical developments that have taken place over the last two decades in an attempt to address the exchange rate puzzles. Specifically, we discuss non-linear and Bayesian econometric techniques, Dynamic General...

Information on economic policy uncertainty (EPU) does matter in predicting oil returns especially when accounting for omitted nonlinearities in the relationship between these two variables via a time-varying coefficient approach. In this work, we compare the forecastability of standard, Bayesian...

Using forecasts of the inflation rate in South Africa, we study the rationality of forecasts and the shape of forecasters’ loss function. When we study micro-level data of individual forecasts, we find mixed evidence of an asymmetric loss function, suggesting that inflation forecasters are...

forecasting gains are not significant relative to higher-order AR and nonlinear models, though simple benchmarks like the RW and … AR(1) models are statistically outperformed. Overall, we show that in terms of forecasting the US CPI, accounting for …

We compare the forecasting performances of the classical and the Minnesota-type Bayesian vector autoregressive (VAR … algorithm for variable selection, estimated using Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. In this regard, we analyze the forecasting … the linear fixed coefficients classical VAR. However, we do not observe marked gains in forecasting power across the …
