More specifically, we take advantage of the flexible Markov switching copula multivariate GARCH (MS-C-MGARCH) model of Fülle and Herwartz (2022). As an empirical illustration, we take the perspective of a risk-averse agent and employ the suggested model for assessments of future risks of portfolios composed of a high-yield equity index (S&amp;P 500) and two safe-haven investment instruments (i.e., Gold and US Treasury Bond Futures). We follow recent suggestions to employ the expected shortfall as a prime assessment of tail risks. To accurately evaluate the merits of the new model, we back-test the risk forecasting for daily returns over 10 years for heterogeneous market environments including, for example, the COVID-19 pandemic. We find that the MS-C-MGARCH model outperforms benchmark volatility models (MGARCH, C-MGARCH) in predicting both value-at-risk and expected shortfall.

There is also evidence of forecast oversmoothing, indicating rigidity in forecast revision in the face of incoming information. Focusing on core inflation forecast errors in 2021, four factors provide a potential ex post explanation: a stronger-than-anticipated demand recovery; demand-induced pressures on supply chains; the demand shift from services to goods at the onset of the pandemic; and labor market tightness. Ex ante, we find that the size of the COVID-19 fiscal stimulus packages announced by different governments in 2020 correlates positively with core inflation forecast errors in advanced economies.

The ability to reliably and accurately forecast wind speed is of great importance in maintaining the security and stability of the power grid. However, the significance of explaining prediction models has often been overlooked by researchers. To address this gap, this study introduces a novel approach to wind speed forecasting that incorporates a significant decomposition method, attention-based machine learning, and local explanation techniques. The proposed model utilizes grid search variational mode decomposition to decompose the wind speed sequence into different modes while employing gate recurrent unit with an attention mechanism to achieve superior forecasting performance. Experimental evaluations conducted on eight real-world wind speed datasets demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms other popular models across multiple performance criteria. In two specific experiments, the proposed approach achieved a minimal mean absolute percentage error of 2.74% and 1.70%, respectively.

This model first uses the ChineseBERT + a text convolution neural network to classify Weibo text and obtain a raw sentiment index. Then, complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise, variational mode decomposition, correlation coefficient, and sample entropy are combined to decompose and reconstruct the raw sentiment index and obtain a denoised sentiment index. Subsequently, the neural basis expansion analysis with exogenous variables is improved by designing a weight coefficient and Optuna is used to optimize the designed weight coefficient and the hyperparameters. Finally, the SHapley Additive exPlanations value is used to increase the interpretability of prediction results.
