Forecasting in Rio

      Forecasting has applications in several areas of Econometrics, although macroeconomic forecasting has occupied a relative large space in the literature historically. Recently, however, financial applications have gained momentum, with topics such as forecasting volatility, quantiles, distributions, etc. Panel-data techniques also show promise, since the added cross-sectional dimension allows the pooling of information, the pooling of forecasts, and pooling from different data frequencies, which is particularly important in financial applications.
