Do Producer Prices Cause Consumer Prices? Some Empirical Evidence

The main purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between consumer price index (CPI) and producer price index (PPI) in Malaysia. This research considers monthly data of consumer price index and producer price index from January 1986 to April 2007. The Johansen cointegration method suggests that there is long-run equilibrium relationship between these two variables. Both Engle Grange...

Combining Forecasting Procedures: Some Theoretical Results

We study some methods of combining procedures for forecasting a continuous random variable. Statistical risk bounds under the square error loss are obtained under mild distributional assumptions on the future given the current outside information and the past observations. The risk bounds show that the combined forecast automatically achieves the best performance among the candidate procedures ...

Forecasting UK stock prices

The Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model, the Error Correction Model (ECM), and the Kalman Filter Model (KFM) are used to forecast UK stock prices. The forecasting performance of the three models is compared using out of sample forecasting. The results show that the forecasting performance of the ECM is better than that of the VAR and the KFM, and that the VAR performs a forecasting better than th...

Bootstrapping an Econometric Model: Some Empirical Results

The bootstrap, like the jackknife, is a technique for estimating standard errors. The idea is to usc Monte Carlo simulation, based on a non-parametric estimate of the underlying error distribution. The bootstrap will be applied to an econometric model describing the demand for capital, labor, energy, and materials. The model is fitted by three-stage least squares. In sharp contrast with previou...
