In recent years, an impressive body or research on predictive accuracy testing and model comparison has been published in the econometrics discipline. Key contributions to this literature include the paper by Diebold and Mariano (DM: 1995) that sets the groundwork for much of the subsequent work...

Our objectives in this paper are twofold. First, we introduce block bootstrap techniques that are (first order) valid in recursive estimation frameworks. Thereafter, we present two examples where predictive accuracy tests are made operational using our new bootstrap procedures. In one...

This paper outlines testing procedures for assessing the relative out-of-sample predictive accuracy of multiple conditional distribution models. The tests that are discussed are based on either the comparison of entire conditional distributions or the comparison of predictive confidence...

In The Finance Literature, Statistical Inferences For Large-Scale Testing Problems Usually Suffer From Data Snooping Bias. In This Paper We Extend The "Superior Predictive Ability" (Spa) Test Of Hansen (2005, Jbes) To A Stepwise Spa Test That Can Identify Predictive Models Without Potential Data...
