利用矩条件进行状态空间模型的贝叶斯估计AI 解读

We consider Bayesian estimation of state space models when the measurement density is not available but estimating equations for the parameters of the measurement density are available from moment conditions. The most common applications are partial equilibrium models involving moment conditions that depend on dynamic latent variables (e.g., time–varying parameters, stochastic volatility) and dynamic general equilibrium models when moment equations from the first order…

无套利约束对利率期限结构预测有多大用处？AI 解读

We develop a general framework for analyzing the usefulness of imposing parameter restrictions on a forecasting model. We propose a measure of the usefulness of the restrictions that depends on the forecaster's loss function and that could be time varying. We show how to conduct inference about this measure. The application of our methodology to analyzing the usefulness of no-arbitrage restrictions for forecasting the term structure of interest rates reveals that: (1)Â the…

用于金融与预测的 t 分布混合AI 解读

We explore convenient analytic properties of distributions constructed as mixtures of scaled and shifted t-distributions. Particularly desirable for econometric applications are closed-form expressions for antiderivatives (e.g., the cumulative density function). We illustrate the usefulness of these distributions in two applications. In the first application, we produce density forecasts of U.S. inflation and show that these forecasts are more accurate, out-of-sample, than…

条件分位数预测的评价与组合AI 解读

We propose an encompassing test for comparing conditional quantile forecasts in an out-of-sample framework. Our test provides a basis for forecast combination when encompassing is rejected. Its central features are (1) use of the “tick” loss function, (2) a conditional approach to out-of-sample evaluation, and (3) derivation in an environment with asymptotically nonvanishing estimation uncertainty. Our approach is valid under general conditions; the forecasts can be based on…
