Optimally Reconciling Forecasts in a Hierarchy
42 HIERARCHICAL STRUCTURES T series can often be naturally disaggregated using attributes such as product type. The total number of bicycles sold by a cycling warehouse, for example, can be disaggregated into a hierarchy of bicycle types. Such a warehouse will sell road bikes, mountain bikes, children’s bikes, and hybrids. Each of these can be disaggregated further into finer categories. Childr...
متن کاملReconciling the Return Predictability Evidence In-sample Forecasts, Out-of-sample Forecasts, and Parameter Instability
Evidence of stock return predictability by financial ratios is still controversial, as documented by inconsistent results for in-sample and out-of-sample regressions and by substantial parameter instability. This paper shows that these seemingly incompatible results can be reconciled if the assumption of a fixed steady-state mean of the economy is relaxed. We find strong empirical evidence in s...
متن کاملEvaluating Real-Time VAR Forecasts with an Informative democratic Prior
This paper proposes Bayesian forecasting in a vector autoregression using a democratic prior. This prior is chosen to match the predictions of survey respondents. In particular, the unconditional mean for each series in the vector autoregression is centered around long-horizon survey forecasts. Heavy shrinkage toward the democratic prior is found to give good real-time predictions of a range of...
متن کاملReconciling forecasts for hierarchical and grouped time series
Time series can often be naturally disaggregated in a hierarchical structure using attributes such as product type. For example, the total number of bicycles sold by a cycling warehouse can be disaggregated into a hierarchy of bicycle types.

متن کاملHow Informative Are Interest Rate Survey-based Forecasts?
This paper studies the information content of survey-based predictions for the Brazilian short-term interest rate. We perform vector autoregression analysis to test for the dynamic relationship between market expectations of interest rates and spot interest rates, and a single regression forecasting approach. Empirical results suggest that surveys may be useful in assessing market expectations ...
