We show that the analyzed DSGE model is relatively successful in forecasting the US economy in the … accurate short-term forecasts for interest rates. Conditional on experts' nowcasts, however, the forecasting power of the DSGE …

It is standard in applied work to select forecasting models by ranking candidate models by their prediction mean square …

We propose a new method for multivariate forecasting which combines Dynamic Factor and multivariate GARCH models. The … asset returns. Our model outperforms the benchmarks in forecasting the inflation level, its conditional variance and the …

We propose a new method for medium-term forecasting using exogenous information. We first show how a shifting … for estimating the model parameters. In forecasting inflation, the central bank inflation target, if it exists, is a … natural example of such exogenous information. We illustrate the application of our method by an out-of-sample forecasting …
