This paper proposes a simple and model-consistent method for combining forecasts generated by structural micro-founded models and judgmental forecasts. The method also enables the judgmental forecasts to be interpreted through the lens of the model. We illustrate the proposed methodology with a...

We compare the out-of-sample predictive accuracy of a mixture of bond yield models with that of the individual models. The individual models considered here are the dynamic Nelson--Siegel model, arbitrage-free Nelson--Siegel model, and random-walk model. Out-of-sample forecasts for U.S. bond...
