Elements of Forecasting
Written by a leading expert on forecasting, this concise, modern survey of business and economic forecasting methods is intentionally selective and focuses only on the core techniques with the widest applicability. Assuming readers have a limited background in statistics, the book is extremely applications oriented and illustrates all methods with detailed real-world applications - many of them international in flavor - that reflect typical forecasting situations in todayà ;'s global marketplace. Offering a practical blend of traditional and contemporary topics, Elements of Forecasting, 3e covers trend, seasonality and cycles, as well as more modern topics such as model selection, volatility models, unit roots and stochastic trends, vector autoregressions and cointegration. It devotes full chapters to volatility, statistical graphics, and evaluating and combining forecasts.
Elements of Forecasting
Elements of Forecasting is a concise, modern survey of business and economics forecasting methods. Written by one of the world's leading experts on forecasting, it focuses on the core techniques of widest applicability and assumes only an elementary background in statistics. It is applications-oriented and illustrates all methods with detailed examples and case studies.
Yield Curve Modeling and Forecasting
Understanding the dynamic evolution of the yield curve is critical to many financial tasks, including pricing financial assets and their derivatives, managing financial risk, allocating portfolios, structuring fiscal debt, conducting monetary policy, and valuing capital goods. Unfortunately, most yield curve models tend to be theoretically rigorous but empirically disappointing, or empirically successful but theoretically lacking. In this book, Francis Diebold and Glenn Rudebusch propose two extensions of the classic yield curve model of Nelson and Siegel that are both theoretically rigorous and empirically successful. The first extension is the dynamic Nelson-Siegel model (DNS), while the s...

ELEMENTARY FORECASTING focuses on the core techniques of widest applicability. The author illustrates all methods with detailed real-world applications, many of them international in flavor, designed to mimic typical forecasting situations.
Business Cycles
This is the most sophisticated and up-to-date econometric analysis of business cycles now available. Francis Diebold and Glenn Rudebusch have long been acknowledged as leading experts on business cycles. And here they present a highly integrative collection of their most important essays on the subject, along with a detailed introduction that draws together the book's principal themes and findings. Diebold and Rudebusch use the latest quantitative methods to address five principal questions about the measurement, modeling, and forecasting of business cycles. They ask whether business cycles have become more moderate in the postwar period, concluding that recessions have, in fact, been shorte...
Financial and Macroeconomic Connectedness
A simple framework is proposed based on variance decompositions from approximating vector autoregressions to define, measure and monitor network connectedness, and these methods are applied in financial and macroeconomic contexts. In financial markets, for example, the interest is in connections among different assets, asset classes, or portfolios, as well as the stocks of individual institutions, and the objects connected are typically returns or return volatilities. Similarly, in macroeconomics the interest is in cross-country real output connections (that is, the global business cycle)

Empirical Modeling of Exchange Rate Dynamics
Structural exchange rate modeling has proven extremely difficult during the recent post-1973 float. The disappointment climaxed with the papers of Meese and Rogoff (1983a, 1983b), who showed that a "naive" random walk model distinctly dominated received theoretical models in terms of predictive performance for the major dollar spot rates. One purpose of this monograph is to seek the reasons for this failure by exploring the temporal behavior of seven major dollar exchange rates using nonstructural time-series methods. The Meese-Rogoff finding does not mean that exchange rates evolve as random walks; rather it simply means that the random walk is a better stochastic approximation than any of ...
The Known, the Unknown, and the Unknowable in Financial Risk Management
A clear understanding of what we know, don't know, and can't know should guide any reasonable approach to managing financial risk, yet the most widely used measure in finance today--Value at Risk, or VaR--reduces these risks to a single number, creating a false sense of security among risk managers, executives, and regulators. This book introduces a more realistic and holistic framework called KuU --the K nown, the u nknown, and the U nknowable--that enables one to conceptualize the different kinds of financial risks and design effective strategies for managing them. Bringing together contributions by leaders in finance and economics, this book pushes toward robustifying policies, portfolios...
