This paper studies a semi-parametric single-index predictive regression model with multiple nonstationary predictors that exhibit co-movement behaviour. Orthogonal series expansion is employed to approximate the unknown link function in the model and the estimator is derived from an optimization...

We develop a method for constructing prediction intervals for a nonstationary variable, such as GDP. The method uses a factor augmented regression [FAR] model. The predictors in the model includes a small number of factors generated to extract most of the information in a set of panel data on a...

In this paper, we propose three new predictive models: the multi-step nonparametric predictive regression model and the multi-step additive predictive regression model, in which the predictive variables are locally stationary time series; and the multi-step time-varying coefficient predictive...
