This paper considers an institutional investor who is implementing a long-term portfolio allocation strategy using forecasts of financial returns. We compare the performance of two competing macro-finance models, an unrestricted Vector AutoRegression (VAR) and a fully structural Dynamic...

We develop a two-country New Keynesian model with sticky local currency pricing,distribution costs and a demand elasticity increasing with the relative price. These features help to reduce the exchange rate pass-through to import price at the border and down the chain towards consumption price,...

DSGE (Dynamic stochastic general equilibrium) models are the common workhorse of modern macroeconomic theory. Whereas story-telling and policy analysis were in the forefront of applications since its inception, the forecasting perspective of DSGE models is only recently topical. In this study,...

In this paper we review the methodology of forecasting with log-linearised DSGE models using Bayesian methods. We focus on the estimation of their predictive distributions, with special attention being paid to the mean and the covariance matrix of h-step ahead forecasts. In the empirical...

We introduce a new class of models that has both stochastic volatility and moving average errors, where the conditional … involving U.S. inflation we find that these moving average stochastic volatility models provide better in sample fitness and out …-of-sample forecast performance than the standard variants with only stochastic volatility …

The rough path-dependent volatility (RPDV) model (Parent 2022) effectively captures key empirical features that are … characteristic of volatility dynamics, making it a suitable choice for volatility forecasting. However, its complex structure … the RPDV model a competitive tool for volatility forecasting.To achieve this objective, the article proposes an innovative …

We propose an event-study research design to identify the nature and propagation of large unusual shocks in DSGE models and apply it to study the macroeconomic effects of the Covid shock. The initial outbreak is represented as the onset of a new shock process where the shock loads on wedges...
