This article considers unbiased prediction of levels when data series are modeled as a random walk with drift and other exogenous factors after taking natural logs. We derive the unique predictors for growth its variance. Derivation level forecasts is more involved because last observation enters conditional expectation highly correlated parameter estimates, even asymptotically. leads to concep...
