报告摘要:In this paper, we introduce smooth time-varying coefficients to the three-pass regression filter (3PRF) forecasting method proposed by Kelly and Pruitt (2015). Following Inoue et al. (2017), we employ rolling window selection to estimate the parameters and to generate forecasts. The rolling window selection uses only the most recent observations, which resolves the trade-off between forecast bias and variance. We establish the optimal rate for selecting the most recent observations. Monte Carlo simulationsdemonstrate that, in general, the rolling window selection method for three-pass regression filter forecasting with time-varying coefficients produces relatively smaller forecasting mean square errors compared to the original three-pass regression filter forecasting method or the method that uses the full sample. Empirical applications of our proposed method are considered to forecast eight macroeconomic variables and market returns, which highlight the necessity of using our approach.
