Evaluating a model by forecast performance
- Abstract:
- Although out-of-sample forecast performance is often deemed to be the ‘gold standard’ of evaluation, it is not in fact a good yardstick for evaluating models in general. The arguments are illustrated with reference to a recent paper by Carruth, Hooker and Oswald [Review of Economics and Statistics (1998), Vol. 80, pp. 621��628], who suggest that the good dynamic forecasts of their model support the efficiency-wage theory on which it is based.
