Abstract:
|
This paper aims to improve the prediction under model instabilities. Model instability is defined as a permanent change in the parameters of the model. We introduce a combined estimator of the post-break data and full-sample data and show that this combined estimator has a lower MSFE compared to the post-break estimator, which is a standard solution under model instabilities. The combination weight lies between zero and one. Monte Carlo experiment demonstrates our theoretical findings.
