G-7 Inflation Forecasts
This paper compares the forecasting performance of some leading models of inflation for the cross section of G-7 countries. We show that bivariate and trivariate models suggested by economic theory or statistical analysis are hardly better than univariate models. Phillips’ curve models fit well into this class. Significant improvements in both MSE of the forecasts and in turning point predictio...
متن کاملConservatism in Inflation Forecasts
Abstract: This paper examines the extent to which professional forecasters exhibit conservatism in their announced inflation forecasts. Conservatism occurs as a result of a secondary objective captured in the forecaster’s loss function: they would like to avoid having large forecast errors, but also would like to avoid making large revisions to previously announced forecasts. As a result of for...
متن کامل4/RT/98 - Bayesian VAR Models for Forecasting Irish Inflation
In this paper we focus on the development of multiple time series models for forecasting Irish Inflation. The Bayesian approach to the estimation of vector autoregressive (VAR) models is employed. This allows the estimated models combine the evidence in the data with any prior information which may also be available. A large selection of inflation indicators are assessed as potential candidates...
متن کاملCombining Forecasts From Nested Models
Motivated by the common finding that linear autoregressive models often forecast better than models that incorporate additional information, this paper presents analytical, Monte Carlo, and empirical evidence on the effectiveness of combining forecasts from nested models. In our analytics, the unrestricted model is true, but a subset of the coefficients are treated as being local-to-zero. This ...
متن کاملForecasts and Inflation Reports: An Evaluation
This paper argues that the most important aspect of central bank transparency is communication about the future path of the policy rate. Despite great progress on transparency, communication on this topic remains shrouded in an obscure code. Central banks can enhance transparency by providing, in decreasing order of importance: i) an unconditional forecast of the policy interest rate; ii) an un...
