Forecasting in Dynamic Factor Models Using Bayesian Model Averaging
This paper considers the problem of forecasting in dynamic factor models using Bayesian model averaging. Theoretical justi cations for averaging across models, as opposed to selecting a single model, are given. Practical methods for implementing Bayesian model averaging with factor models are described. These methods involve algorithms which simulate from the space de ned by all possible models...
متن کاملForecasting with dynamic factor models
The validity of previous findings that dynamic factor models are useful for macroeconomic forecasting is of great importance for subsequent studies which use these models not only as a starting point for further developments but also as a benchmark for the evaluation of the forecasting performance of these further developments. Reanalyzing a standard macroeconomic dataset, we do not find any ev...
متن کاملBayesian Model Averaging of Dynamic Linear Models
In this paper we aim to compare the performance of three different Bayesian model averaging (or mixture) methods applied to regression dynamic linear models for beverage data from Zimbabwe. The models are chosen to reflect different plausible causal structures of association between beverage sales and other variables, thought to influence beverage sales, such as prices, temperature and maize cr...
متن کاملBayesian Model Averaging and Forecasting
This paper focuses on the problem of variable selection in linear regression models. I briefly review the method of Bayesian model averaging, which has become an important tool in empirical settings with large numbers of potential regressors and relatively limited numbers of observations. Some of the literature is discussed with particular emphasis on forecasting in economics. The role of the p...
متن کاملForecasting Economic Aggregates by Disaggregates
Forecasting Economic Aggregates by Disaggregates* We explore whether forecasting an aggregate variable using information on its disaggregate components can improve the prediction mean squared error over first forecasting the disaggregates and then aggregating those forecasts, or, alternatively, over using only lagged aggregate information in forecasting the aggregate. We show theoretically that...
