Reducing the uncertainty around exchange rate forecasts: A new model

Marcellino, Massimiliano, Abbate, Angela, (2017), “Reducing the ucnertainty around exchange rate forecasts: A new model”, VoxEu, 4 Φεβρουαρίου

Exchange rates are important contributors to business cycle fluctuations in open economies.

This column introduces a model that also allows for changing volatility when forecasting exchange rates. Modelling time variation in the cross-rate relationships, and in the volatilities of the shocks hitting the economic system, significantly improves forecasts.
