Moving endpoints and the internal consistency of agents' ex ante forecasts Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Sharon Kozicki
P.A. Tinsley
Additional information is available for the following
registered author(s):
Forecasts by rational agents contain embedded initial and terminal boundary conditions. Standard time series models generate two types of long-run "endpoints"--fixed endpoints and moving average endpoints. Neither can explain the shifting endpoints implied by postwar movements in the cross-section of forward rate forecasts in the term structure or by post-1979 changes in survey estimates of expected inflation. Multiperiod forecasts by a broader class of "moving endpoint" time series models provide substantially improved tracking of the historical term structure and generally support the internal consistency of the ex ante long-run expectations of bond traders and survey respondents.
