OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
New Tests of Equal Forecast Accuracy for Factor-Augmented Regressions with Weaker Loadings
Status: This talk is in preparation - details may change
Status: This talk has been cancelled
We provide the theoretical foundation for the recently proposed tests of equal forecast accuracy and encompassing by Pitarakis (2023a,b), when the competing forecast specification is that of a factor-augmented regression model. This should be of interest for practitioners, as there is no theory justifying the use of these simple and powerful tests in such context. In pursuit of this, we employ a novel theory that allows factor loadings to be homogeneously/heterogeneously weak (empirically well-documented), and track their effect on the forecast comparison problem.
