This paper studies the economic recessions and the financial crisis in US economy, as these crisis periods affect not only USA but the rest of the world. The wrong government policies and the regulations in bond market among others lead to the longest and deepest financial crisis since the Great depression of 1929. In this paper we examine three models in order to predict the economic recession or expansion periods in USA. The first one is the Logit model, the second is the Probit model and the last one is a fuzzy rule based system binary regression with sigmoid membership function. We examine the in-sample period 1913-2005 and we test the models in the out-of sample period 2006-2009. The estimation results indicate that the fuzzy regression outperforms the Logit and Probit models, especially in the out-of sample period. This indicates that fuzzy regressions provide a better and more reliable signal on whether or not a financial crisis will take place. Furthermore, based on the estimated values for the period 1913-2009 we estimate the forecasts to investigate if the economic recession will be continued or not during 2010. The conclusion is that Logit model presents a signal that the economic recession will be continued during the whole period 2010, while based on Probit and fuzzy regressions the economic recovery might begin in the second half of 2010.
本文研究了美国经济的经济衰退和金融危机,因为这些危机时期不仅影响美国,而且影响世界其他地区。错误的政府政策和债券市场监管等导致了自1929年大萧条以来持续时间最长、最严重的金融危机。本文考察了三种预测美国经济衰退期或扩张期的模型。第一个是Logit模型,第二个是Probit模型,最后一个是基于模糊规则的具有sigmoid隶属函数的系统二元回归。我们检验了1913-2005年的样本内期和2006-2009年的样本外期模型。估计结果表明,模糊回归优于Logit和Probit模型,特别是在样本外期。这表明,模糊回归对金融危机是否会发生提供了更好、更可靠的信号。此外,根据1913-2009年期间的估计值,我们估计了预测,以调查经济衰退是否会在2010年继续。得出的结论是,Logit模型显示经济衰退将在2010年全年持续,而基于Probit和模糊回归的经济复苏可能在2010年下半年开始。

Macro to Micro: Country Exposures, Firm Fundamentals and Stock Returns 宏观到微观:国家风险敞口,坚定的基本面和股票回报
Ningzhong Li, Scott Richardson, A. I. Tuna
We outline a systematic approach to incorporate macroeconomic information into firm level forecasting from the perspective of an equity investor. Using a global sample of 198,315 firm-years over the 1998–2010 time period, we find that combining firm level exposures to countries (via geographic segment data) with forecasts of country level performance, is able to generate superior forecasts for firm fundamentals. This result is particularly evident for purely domestic firms. We further find that this forecasting benefit is associated with future excess stock returns. These relations are stronger after periods of higher dispersion in expected country level performance.
我们概述了一种系统的方法,从股权投资者的角度将宏观经济信息纳入公司层面的预测。利用1998-2010年期间198,315个公司年的全球样本,我们发现,将公司层面的国家风险敞口(通过地理分段数据)与国家层面的业绩预测相结合,能够对公司基本面做出更好的预测。这一结果在纯粹的国内公司中尤为明显。我们进一步发现,这种预测效益与未来超额股票收益有关。在预期国家一级业绩出现较大差异的时期之后,这种关系更为强烈。

Is China on Track to Comply with Its 2020 Copenhagen Carbon Intensity Commitment? 中国是否有望履行其2020年哥本哈根碳强度承诺?
Yuan Yang, Junjie Zhang, C. Wang
In the 2009 Copenhagen Accord, China agreed to slash its carbon intensity (carbon dioxide emissions/GDP) by 40% to 45% from the 2005 level by 2020. We assess whether China can achieve the target under the business-as-usual scenario by forecasting its emissions from energy consumption. Our preferred model shows that China's carbon intensity is projected to decline by only 33%. The results imply that China needs additional mitigation effort to comply with the Copenhagen commitment. In addition, China's baseline emissions are projected to increase by 56% in the next decade (2011-2020). The emission growth is more than triple the emission reductions that the European Union and the United States have committed to in the same period.
在2009年的哥本哈根协议中,中国同意到2020年将其碳强度(二氧化碳排放量/GDP)从2005年的水平降低40%至45%。我们通过对中国能源消费排放的预测来评估中国是否能够在一切照旧的情况下实现这一目标。我们首选的模型显示,中国的碳强度预计只会下降33%。结果表明,中国需要更多的减排努力来履行哥本哈根承诺。此外,中国的基准排放量预计将在未来十年(2011-2020年)增加56%。排放量的增长是欧盟和美国在同一时期承诺的减排量的三倍多。

A Univariate Time Varying Analysis of Periodic ARMA Processes 周期ARMA过程的单变量时变分析
M. Karanasos, A. Paraskevopoulos, Stavros Dafnos
The standard approach for studying the periodic ARMA model with coefficients that vary over the seasons is to express it in a vector form. In this paper we introduce an alternative method which views the periodic formulation as a time varying univariate process and obviates the need for vector analysis. The specification, interpretation, and solution of a periodic ARMA process enable us to formulate a forecasting method which avoids recursion and allows us to obtain analytic expressions of the optimal predictors. Our results on periodic models are general, analogous to those for stationary specifications, and place the former on the same computational basis as the latter.
研究系数随季节变化的周期性ARMA模型的标准方法是将其表示为矢量形式。在本文中,我们介绍了一种替代方法,它将周期公式视为时变的单变量过程,从而避免了向量分析的需要。周期性ARMA过程的规范、解释和求解使我们能够制定一种避免递归的预测方法,并使我们能够获得最优预测因子的解析表达式。我们在周期模型上的结果是一般的,类似于那些固定规格,并将前者置于与后者相同的计算基础上。

Forecasting Realized Volatility with Changes of Regimes 随制度变化预测已实现波动率
G. Gallo, E. Otranto
Realized volatility of financial time series generally shows a slow–moving average level from the early 2000s to recent times, with alternating periods of turmoil and quiet. Modeling such a pattern has been variously tackled in the literature with solutions spanning from long–memory, Markov switching and spline interpolation. In this paper, we explore the extension of Multiplicative Error Models to include a Markovian dynamics (MS-MEM). Such a model is able to capture some sudden changes in volatility following an abrupt crisis and to accommodate different dynamic responses within each regime. The model is applied to the realized volatility of the S&P500 index: next to an interesting interpretation of the regimes in terms of market events, the MS-MEM has better in–sample fitting capability and achieves good out–of–sample forecasting performances relative to alternative specifications.
从21世纪初到最近,金融时间序列的已实现波动率通常呈现缓慢移动的平均水平,并交替出现动荡和平静的时期。这种模式的建模在文献中已经被各种各样的解决方案所解决,包括长记忆、马尔可夫切换和样条插值。在本文中,我们探索乘法误差模型的扩展,以包括马尔可夫动力学(MS-MEM)。这样的模型能够捕捉到突发性危机后波动性的一些突然变化,并适应每个机制内不同的动态响应。该模型应用于标准普尔500指数的已实现波动率:除了对市场事件的制度进行有趣的解释外,MS-MEM具有更好的样本内拟合能力,并且相对于其他规范具有良好的样本外预测性能。

Asian Development Outlook Forecast Skill 亚洲发展展望预测技能
Benno Ferrarini
The Asian Development Outlook (ADO) provides growth and inflation forecasts for more than 40 economies in the region. This paper assesses the accuracy of those forecasts against actual outcomes for the years from 2008 to 2011. The World Economic Outlook (WEO) forecasts by the International Monetary Fund are used as a benchmark against which to derive a comparative measure of the accuracy of ADO forecasts, or skill. ADO is found to be ‘more skillful’ than WEO in estimating both current-year gross domestic product (GDP) growth and consumer price index (CPI) inflation of Asian economies. WEO may have an edge over ADO when it comes to year-ahead GDP forecasts, while ADO’s inflation forecasts tend to be more accurate. By and large, and notwithstanding much heterogeneity across economies and years, both sets of forecasts display a high degree of inaccuracy during the crisis years.
《亚洲发展展望》提供了该地区40多个经济体的增长和通胀预测。本文根据2008年至2011年的实际结果,对这些预测的准确性进行了评估。国际货币基金组织(imf)的《世界经济展望》(World Economic Outlook, WEO)预测被用作衡量ADO预测准确性或技能的基准。研究发现,在估计亚洲经济体当年的国内生产总值(GDP)增长和消费者价格指数(CPI)通胀方面,ADO比《世界经济展望》“更熟练”。在未来一年的GDP预测方面,WEO可能比ADO更有优势,而ADO的通胀预测往往更准确。总的来说,尽管不同经济体和年份之间存在很大的差异,但这两套预测在危机年份都显示出高度的不准确性。

Machine Learning and Forecast Combination in Incomplete Panels 不完整面板中的机器学习和预测组合
K. Lahiri, Huaming Peng, Yongchen Zhao
This paper focuses on the newly proposed on-line forecast combination algorithms in Sancetta (2010), Yang (2004), and Wei and Yang (2012). We first establish the asymptotic relationship between these new algorithms and the Bates and Granger (1969) method. Then, we show that when implemented on unbalanced panels, different combination algorithms implicitly impute missing data differently, making results not comparable across methods. Using forecasts of a number of macroeconomic variables from the U.S. Survey of Professional Forecasters, we evaluate the performance of the new algorithms and contrast their inner mechanisms with that of Bates and Granger's method. Missing data in the SPF panels are specifically controlled for by explicit imputation. We find that even though equally weighted average is hard to beat, the new algorithms deliver superior performance especially during periods of volatility clustering and structural breaks.
本文重点研究了Sancetta(2010)、Yang(2004)和Wei and Yang(2012)提出的在线预测组合算法。我们首先建立了这些新算法与Bates and Granger(1969)方法之间的渐近关系。然后,我们表明,当在不平衡面板上实现时,不同的组合算法隐式地以不同的方式输入缺失数据,使得结果无法跨方法进行比较。利用来自美国专业预测者调查的一些宏观经济变量的预测,我们评估了新算法的性能,并将其内部机制与Bates和Granger的方法进行了对比。SPF面板上的缺失数据通过显式插入来特别控制。我们发现,尽管等加权平均很难被击败,但新算法在波动聚类和结构断裂期间提供了卓越的性能。

Building Blocks of Linear Time Series Modeling 线性时间序列建模的构建模块
Paul I. Louangrath
Three models are presented: AR (autoregressive), MA (moving average) and ARMA (autoregressive moving average) are common models used in time series forecasting. These three models are the various definition of each element of the General Linear Model: Y = a + b + c. For the study of linear behavior of data, these three models are helpful. However, the limitation of these models starts to surface when nonlinear behavior of data appears. Linear behavior is characterized by a straight line mapping the response variable (Y) to each unit change in the explanatory variable (X). If the research involves human emotion, preferences, or level of tolerance and the data series does not manifest a straight line, AR, MA and ARMA may not be as useful. Price tolerance versus utility, for instance is a good example to illustrate where the general linear model may not be useful. N such cases, a higher order polynomial modeling may be used.
提出了三种模型:AR(自回归)、MA(移动平均)和ARMA(自回归移动平均)是时间序列预测中常用的模型。这三种模型是一般线性模型Y = a + b + c中各元素的各种定义。对于研究数据的线性行为,这三种模型是有帮助的。然而,当数据的非线性行为出现时,这些模型的局限性就开始显现出来。线性行为的特征是反应变量(Y)与解释变量(X)的每个单位变化之间的直线关系。如果研究涉及人类情感、偏好或容忍水平,并且数据序列不是直线,则AR、MA和ARMA可能没有那么有用。例如,价格容忍度与效用的对比就是一个很好的例子,可以说明一般线性模型在哪些地方可能不太有用。在这种情况下,可以使用高阶多项式建模。

However, the limitation of these models starts to surface when nonlinear behavior of data appears. Linear behavior is characterized by a straight line mapping the response variable (Y) to each unit change in the explanatory variable (X).
