According to common sense view it would be best to use panel data of East Asian countries when it comes to predict crises in these countries. Contrary to that view it is not, however. The paper considers 15 combinations of panel data. These panel data are composed by maximum four regional groups of 24 crisis-ridden countries such as East Asia, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East and Africa. And then the paper builds 15signal extraction models (SEM) based on each combination of panel data and assesses the predictability of currency crisis. SEM based on panel data composed of each individual region does not perform well except East Asia. East Asian countries, however, although it has the lowest noise signal ratio, has given least warning signals and the lowest probability of crisis associated with the crisis composite index. Furthermore, most indicators alarmed are non-financial, which fails to provide the useful information such that financial fragility is the common cause of the crisis. When sample period is extended there’s a big change in both indicator’s optimal threshold level and the noise signal ratio, and even effective indicators. As a result, all models of the panel data based on each individual region have serious type II error problem in out-sample forecast. The implication is that SEM based on broader panel data even though it should be inferior in in-sample forecast turns out to be superior in out sample forecast essentially because it has more case of crises.","PeriodicalId":445951,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Forecasting & Simulation (Prices) (Topic)","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114199867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper offers a simple explanation for these facts based on asymmetries in the forecasters’ costs of over- and under-predicting inflation. Our model implies (i) biased forecasts; (ii) positive serial correlation in forecast errors; (iii) a cross-sectional dispersion that rises with the level and the variance of the inflation rate; and (iv) predictability of forecast errors at different horizons by means of the spread between the short- and long-term variance of inflation. We find empirically that these patterns are present in inflation forecasts from the Survey of Professional Forecasters. A constant bias component, not explained by asymmetric loss and rational expectations, is required to explain the shift in the sign of the bias observed for a substantial portion of forecasters around 1982.","PeriodicalId":445951,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Forecasting & Simulation (Prices) (Topic)","volume":"99 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131956569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We run out-of-sample forecasts implementing the Stock and Watson (1999) methodology. We find that, according to usual statistical criteria, the combination of several indicators-in particular those derived from surveys-provides better results than factor models, even after pre-selection of the variables included in the panel. However, factors included in VAR models exhibit more stable forecasting performance over time. Results for the HICP excluding unprocessed food and energy are very encouraging. Moreover, we show that the aggregation of forecasts on subcomponents exhibits the best performance for projecting total inflation and that it is robust to data snooping.

Nearly 6 in 10 answered that the next recession will begin sometime in 2020. If so, the current business expansion will have eclipsed the 1991-2001 expansion as the longest on record. Economists and policymakers look at several leading indicators when attempting to predict a slowdown or outright contraction in economic activity. Two stand out: the slope of the yield curve and the direction of the unemployment rate. The purpose of this essay is to ascertain the predictive power of these two economic indicators.","PeriodicalId":445951,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Forecasting & Simulation (Prices) (Topic)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133562725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
