Inference about predictive ability is usually carried-out in the form of pairwise comparisons between two forecasting methods. Nevertheless, some interesting questions are concerned with families of models and not just with a couple of forecasting strategies. For instance: Are time-series models...

We analyse the multihorizon forecasting performance of several strategies to estimate the stationary AR(1) model in a near-unity context. We focus on the Andrews' (1993) exact median-unbiased estimator (BC), the OLS estimator, and the driftless random walk (RW). In addition, we explore the...
