This paper contributes a multivariate forecasting comparison between structural models and Machine-Learning-based tools. Specifically, a fully connected feed forward nonlinear autoregressive neural network (ANN) is contrasted to a well established dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE)...

factors have contributed to the recent decline in bond yields in the US. For that purpose, we start with a very general model … to establish a stable long-run relationship and find that the behaviour of bond rates in the last few years may well be … overestimation of bond yields is not unusual historically. Finally, our bond yield equation outperforms a random walk model in …
