We study the loss function of 15 European governments as implied by their budget balance forecasts. Results suggest that the shape of the loss function varies across countries. The loss function becomes more asymmetric as the forecast horizon increases and in advance of parliamentary election....

We use multivariate random forests to compute out-of-sample forecasts of a vector of returns of four precious metal prices (gold, silver, platinum, and palladium). We compare the multivariate forecasts with univariate out-of-sample forecasts implied by random forests independently fitted to...

Yes, they do. Utilizing a machine-learning technique known as random forests to compute forecasts of realized (good and bad) stock market volatility, we show that incorporating the information in lagged industry returns can help improve out-of sample forecasts of aggregate stock market...
