利用文本数据的因子分位数预测AI 解读

ABSTRACT Words matter for predicting tail risks. We propose an attention mechanism embedded in a quantile factor model, yielding information that is quantile‐specific, target‐specific, and horizon‐specific. We establish new asymptotic results and show empirically that targeted textual data improve quantile forecasts of exchange‐rate returns and industrial production growth relative to strong benchmarks and other conditional‐quantile models. Bigrams and trigrams drive these…

SUMMARY Decision makers often observe point forecasts of the same variable computed, for instance, by commercial banks, IMF and the World Bank, but the econometric models used by such institutions are frequently unknown. This paper shows how to use the information available on point forecasts to compute optimal density forecasts. Our idea builds upon the combination of point forecasts under general loss functions and unknown forecast error distributions. We use real‐time…

经济预测的面板数据方法：偏差校正平均预测AI 解读

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to econometric forecasting of stationary and ergodic time series within a panel-data framework. Our key element is to employ the (feasible) bias-corrected average forecast. Using panel-data sequential asymptotics we show that it is potentially superior to other techniques in several contexts. In particular, it is asymptotically equivalent to the conditional expectation, i.e., has an optimal limiting mean-squared error. We also…
