specification in differences. In this paper, we examine the forecasting performance of the FECM by means of an analytical example …, Monte Carlo simulations and several empirical applications. We show that FECM generally offers a higher forecasting … precision relative to the FAVAR, and marks a useful step forward for forecasting with large datasets. …
