Properties of optimal forecasts under asymmetric loss and nonlinearity
Evaluation of forecast optimality in economics and finance has almost exclusively been conducted under the assumption of mean squared error loss. Under this loss function optimal forecasts should be unbiased and forecast errors serially uncorrelated at the single period horizon with increasing variance as the forecast horizon grows. Using analytical results we show that standard properties of o...
متن کاملForecasting Stationary Processes under Asymmetric Loss
This paper addresses estimation of general linear processes under the relevant loss function using autoregressive approximations. The estimators of the autoregressive parameters are shown to be consistent in the sense that the L1 norm of the distance to the respective true values converges in probability to zero. The assumptions on the order of the approximation and the moment requirements for ...
متن کاملOptimal Strategic Trade Policy under Asymmetric Information
When cost is private information in the Brander{Spencer model, the home government is confronted by a decision of choosing between two policy options: a menu of policies and a uniform policy. The former induces separation and so reveals the cost information to the foreign competitors. The latter helps the weak ̄rm by concealing the cost information. The main result from this study is that polic...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation for the Pareto Income Distribution under Asymmetric LINEX Loss Function
The use of the Pareto distribution as a model for various socio-economic phenomena dates back to the late nineteenth century. In this paper, after some necessary preliminary results we deal with Bayes estimation of some of the parameters of interest under an asymmetric LINEX loss function, using suitable choice of priors when the scale parameter is known and unknown. Results of a Monte C...
متن کاملImproved Minimax Prediction Under Kullback-Leibler Loss
Let X | μ ∼ Np(μ, vxI) and Y | μ ∼ Np(μ, vyI) be independent p-dimensional multivariate normal vectors with common unknown mean μ, and let p(x|μ) and p(y |μ) denote the conditional densities of X and Y . Based on only observing X = x, we consider the problem of obtaining a predictive distribution p̂(y |x) for Y that is close to p(y |μ) as measured by Kullback-Leibler loss. The natural straw man ...
