This paper addresses the challenge of inflation forecasting by adopting a thick modeling approach that integrates forecasts from time- and frequency-domain models. Frequency-domain models excel at capturing long-term trends while also accounting for short-term fluctuations. Combining these...

This paper explores a semiparametric version of a time-varying regression, where a subset of the regressors have a fixed coefficient and the rest a time-varying one. We provide an estimation method and establish associated theoretical properties of the estimates and standard errors in extended...
