Multiple Regime Models and Exchange Rate Forecasting
نویسنده
چکیده
We extend the basic random walk Markov-Switching model in two ways and evaluate the out-of-sample forecasting performance on the Japanese yen during 1995-2004. First, we estimate both a twoand also a three-regime Markov switching models. Second, we add four exogenous variables as suggested in the monetary theory. According to the modified DieboldMariano forecast equivalence test, the result shows that our modified models, a three-regime random walk model and a two-regime monetary model, outperform a simple random walk for the yen. However, the interpretation of coefficients in the two-regime monetary model is unclear and the exchange-rate disconnect puzzle still remains a subject for further investigation

The Comparison among ARIMA and hybrid ARIMA-GARCH Models in Forecasting the Exchange Rate of Iran
This paper attempts to compare the forecasting performance of the ARIMA model and hybrid ARMA-GARCH Models by using daily data of the Iran’s exchange rate against the U.S. Dollar (IRR/USD) for the period of 20 March 2014 to 20 June 2015. The period of 20 March 2014 to 19 April 2015 was used to build the model while remaining data were used to do out of sample forecasting and check the forecasti...
