I then apply this insight to interrogate the spike in inflation expectations that occurred over the year 2021. The data rule out that the spike was driven by respondents low in cognitive reflection, who are most vulnerable to overreacting to recent news.

In a first experiment, we show that when a preference paradigm is used in time series forecasting, the difference in the conclusions about the effects of feedback in the two types of forecasting disappears.

While statistical models such as the autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average (ARFIMA) and hyperbolic generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (HYGARCH) can capture long-memory effects in time series data, they are often limited by dimensionality and parametric specification. Alternatively, recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are popular tools for approximating complex structures in sequential data. However, the lack of long-memory effect of these networks has been justified from a statistical perspective. In this paper, we propose a new network process called the memory-augmented gated recurrent unit (MGRU), which incorporates a fractionally integrated filter into the original GRU structure. We investigate the long-memory effect of the MGRU process, and demonstrate its effectiveness at capturing long-range dependence in real applications. Our findings illustrate that the proposed MGRU network outperforms existing models, indicating its potential as a promising tool for long-memory time series forecasting.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14061,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Forecasting","volume":"41 2","pages":"Pages 844-858"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142190563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
