Nonlinear Forecasting Analysis Using Diffusion Indexes: An Application to Japan Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Shintani, Mototsugu
Additional information is available for the following
registered author(s):
This paper extends the diffusion index (DI) forecast approach of Stock and Watson (1998, 2002) to the case of possibly nonlinear dynamic factor models. When the number of series is large, a two-step procedure based on the method of principal components is useful since it allows wide variety of nonlinearity in the factors. The factors extracted from a large Japanese data suggest some evidence of nonlinear structure. Furthermore, both the linear and nonlinear DI forecasts in Japan outperform traditional time series forecasts, while the linear DI forecast, in most cases, performs as well as the nonlinear DI forecast.
