(2014) in order to relax the condition on the data structure required for the SUR estimator to be independent from unknown … quantities. It turns out that the SUR estimator of forecast uncertainty tends to deliver large efficiency gains compared to the … OLS estimator (i.e. the sample mean of the squared forecast errors) in the case of increased forecast horizons. The SUR …

Multi-step-ahead forecasts of forecast uncertainty in practice are often based on the horizon-specific sample means of recent squared forecast errors, where the number of available past forecast errors decreases one-to-one with the forecast horizon. In this paper, the efficiency gains from the...

Financial analysts typically estimate volatilities and correlations from monthly or higher frequency returns when determining the optimal composition of a portfolio. Although it is widely acknowledged that these measures are not necessarily stationary across samples, most analysts assume...

The Sharpe ratio is the most widely used metric for comparing performance across investment managers and strategies, and the information ratio is as commonly used to evaluate performance relative to a benchmark. Although it is widely recognized that non-linearities arising from the inclusion of...

This paper studies standard predictive regressions in economic systems governed by persistent vector autoregressive dynamics for the state variables. In particular, all - or a subset - of the variables may be fractionally integrated, which induces a spurious regression problem. We propose a new...
