A Simple Theoretical Explanation of the Forecast Combination Puzzle
This paper offers a theoretical explanation why forecast combination with the estimated optimal weights has often poor performance in applications. The explanation is simple. The properties of the combination are often derived under the assumption that the weights are fixed while in practice they have to be estimated. If the weight estimation is taken into account during the optimality derivati...
متن کاملA Machine Learning Approach to the Forecast Combination Puzzle
Forecast combination algorithms provide a robust solution to noisy data and shifting process dynamics. However in practice, sophisticated combination methods often fail to consistently outperform the simple mean combination. This “forecast combination puzzle” limits the adoption of alternative combination approaches and forecasting algorithms by policy-makers. Through an adaptive machine learni...
متن کاملForecast Calibration and Combination: A Simple Bayesian Approach for ENSO
This study presents a new simple approach for combining empirical with raw (i.e., not bias corrected) coupled model ensemble forecasts in order to make more skillful interval forecasts of ENSO. A Bayesian normal model has been used to combine empirical and raw coupled model December SST Niño-3.4 index forecasts started at the end of the preceding July (5-month lead time). The empirical forecast...
متن کاملAn Alternative Explanation of the Price Puzzle
This paper proposes a simple explanation for the frequent appearance of a price puzzle in VARs designed for monetary policy analysis. It suggests that the best method of solving the puzzle implies a close connection between theory and empirics rather than the introduction of a commodity price. It proves that the omission of a measure of output gap (or potential output) spuriously produces a pri...
متن کاملA Behavioral Explanation fo the Relative Performance Evaluation Puzzle (2003)
– We study the effects of competitive preferences, where Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) compare their wage to the wage of other CEOs within the same industry, and derive utility from being ahead of them. We show that such social concerns work in the direction of CEO wages being positively correlated, in contrast to the Relative Performance Evaluation hypothesis, but consistent with several emp...
