"It is well known that augmenting a standard linear regression model with variables that are correlated with the error term but uncorrelated with the original regressors will increase asymptotic efficiency of the original coefficients. We argue that in the context of predicting excess returns,...

Existing studies on interest rate forecasting either treat yields as being stationary around a fixed mean or as a random walk process. In this study we consider forecasting the term structure of interest rates with the assumption that the yield curve is driven by factors that are stationary...
