The current large empirical literature on interest rate modeling typically focuses on the in-sample performance and ignores the out-of-sample performance of existing models. We fill the gap in this literature by providing probably the first comprehensive empirical study (to our knowledge) of the...

Numerous studies have shown that the simple random walk model outperforms all structural and time series models in forecasting the conditional mean of exchange rate changes. However, in many important applications, such as risk management, forecasts of the probability distribution of exchange...
