Inflation Forecasting using a Neural Network
This paper evaluates the usefulness of neural networks for inflation forecasting. In a pseudo out-of-sample forecasting experiment using recent U.S. data, neural networks outperform univariate autoregressive models on average for short horizons of 1 and 2 quarters. A simple specification of the neural network model and specialized estimation procedures from the neural networks literature appear...
متن کاملSemiparametric ARX neural-network models with an application to forecasting inflation
We examine semiparametric nonlinear autoregressive models with exogenous variables (NLARX) via three classes of artificial neural networks: the first one uses smooth sigmoid activation functions; the second one uses radial basis activation functions; and the third one uses ridgelet activation functions. We provide root mean squared error convergence rates for these ANN estimators of the conditi...
متن کاملNeural Network Based Models for Forecasting
In most industrial systems, forecasts of external demand or predictions of the future system state are necessary to achieve optimal management and control. Forecasting tasks can be formulated as diierent classes of problems such as function approximation or classiication, in which neural network techniques can be applied. In this paper, some examples of forecasting applications using neural net...
متن کاملForecasting Inflation under Globalization with Artificial Neural Network-Based Thin and Thick Models
We study globalization influences on forecasting inflation in an aggregate perspective using the Phillips curve for Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan and the US by artificial neural network-based thin and thick models. Our empirical results support the hypothesis that globalization influences do generate the downward tendency in inflation through time in all cases with different levels. Moreover, the ar...
