We use data generated by a macroeconomic DSGE model to study the relative benefits of forecast combinations based on forecast-encompassing tests relative to simple uniformly weighted forecast averages across rival models. Assumed rival models are four linear autoregressive specifications, one of...

We study the benefits of forecast combinations based on forecast-encompassing tests relative to uniformly weighted forecast averages across rival models. For a realistic simulation design, we generate multivariate time-series samples of size 40 to 200 from a macroeconomic DSGE-VAR model....

In this paper we estimate and forecast with a small-scale DSGE model of the Euro area and the United States characterized by diverging interest-rate rules using quarterly data from 1996Q2 to 2011Q2. These diverging rules reflect the differing mandates of the ECB and the Fed, respectively. Due to...

Die vorliegende Dissertation mit dem Titel Monetary DSGE Models of Two Countries: Set-Up, Estimation, and Forecasting Performance beinhaltet neben einem einleitenden noch drei weitere Kapitel. In Kapitel 2 entwickeln wir ein Zwei-Länder-DSGE-Modell und untersuchen die Auswirkungen von...
