Abstract

This paper reformulates the basic Granger and Ramanathan’s (1984) combining regression framework based on post-sample predictive accuracies. Using recursive regression techniques, this paper develops an algorithm to estimate combining weights. Under the new prediction criteria, we show that Granger and Ramanathan’s (1984) preference ordering, Method C → Method A → Method B, breaks down. To overcome this lack of ordering, the paper suggests that, by using Akaike’s (1973) information or Amemiya’s (1980) prediction criterion, one can recursively select the best form of combining regressions. Empirical examples using macroeconomic forecasts of Taiwan are presented to illustrate the validity of the theoretical arguments.
