  • Zanetti Chini E. “Forecaster's Utility and Forecasts Coherence”
    ISSN: 2281-1346 Department of Economics and Management DEM Working Paper Series Forecasters’ utility and forecast coherence Emilio Zanetti Chini (Università di Pavia) # 145 (01-18) Via San Felice, 5 I-27100 Pavia economiaweb.unipv.it Revised in: August 2018 Forecasters’ utility and forecast coherence Emilio Zanetti Chini∗ University of Pavia Department of Economics and Management Via San Felice 5 - 27100, Pavia (ITALY) e-mail: [email protected] FIRST VERSION: December, 2017 THIS VERSION: August, 2018 Abstract We introduce a new definition of probabilistic forecasts’ coherence based on the divergence between forecasters’ expected utility and their own models’ likelihood function. When the divergence is zero, this utility is said to be local. A new micro-founded forecasting environment, the “Scoring Structure”, where the forecast users interact with forecasters, allows econometricians to build a formal test for the null hypothesis of locality. The test behaves consistently with the requirements of the theoretical literature. The locality is fundamental to set dating algorithms for the assessment of the probability of recession in U.S. business cycle and central banks’ “fan” charts Keywords: Business Cycle, Fan Charts, Locality Testing, Smooth Transition Auto-Regressions, Predictive Density, Scoring Rules and Structures.

Leighton Brough (UQ), Ariel Liebman (UQ) and Tom Pechey (UMelb) helped by organising a workshop with Nimrod/enFuzion at UQ in June 2006. enFuzion (via Rok Sosic) provided a limited license for use in the project. Leighton Brough, tools coordinator for the ARC Centre for Complex Systems (ACCS), assisted greatly in setting up an enFuzion grid and collating the large volume of results. Son Nghiem provided assistance in collating and analysing data as well as in creating some of the figures. Page 1 of 30 Version: January 26 ABSTRACT Production functions that take into account uncertainty can be empirically estimated by taking a state contingent view of the world. Where there is no a priori information to allocate data amongst a small number of states, the estimation may be carried out with finite mixtures model. The complexity of the estimation almost guarantees a large number of local maxima for the likelihood function.

  • Bab 1 Pendahuluan
    BAB 1 PENDAHULUAN Bab ini akan membahas pengertian dasar statistik dengan sub-sub pokok bahasan sebagai berikut : Sub Bab Pokok Bahasan A. Sejarah dan Perkembangan Statistik B. Tokoh-tokoh Kontributor Statistika C. Definisi dan Konsep Statistik Modern D. Kegunaan Statistik E. Pembagian Statistik F. Statistik dan Komputer G. Soal Latihan A. Sejarah dan Perkembangan Statistik Penggunaan istilah statistika berakar dari istilah-istilah dalam bahasa latin modern statisticum collegium (“dewan negara”) dan bahasa Italia statista (“negarawan” atau “politikus”). Istilah statistik pertama kali digunakan oleh Gottfried Achenwall (1719-1772), seorang guru besar dari Universitas Marlborough dan Gottingen. Gottfried Achenwall (1749) menggunakan Statistik dalam bahasa Jerman untuk pertama kalinya sebagai nama bagi kegiatan analisis data kenegaraan, dengan mengartikannya sebagai “ilmu tentang negara/state”. Pada awal abad ke- 19 telah terjadi pergeseran arti menjadi “ilmu mengenai pengumpulan dan klasifikasi data”. Sir John Sinclair memperkenalkan nama dan pengertian statistics ini ke dalam bahasa Inggris. E.A.W. Zimmerman mengenalkan kata statistics ke negeri Inggris. Kata statistics dipopulerkan di Inggris oleh Sir John Sinclair dalam karyanya: Statistical Account of Scotland 1791-1799. Namun demikian, jauh sebelum abad XVIII masyarakat telah mencatat dan menggunakan data untuk keperluan mereka. Pada awalnya statistika hanya mengurus data yang dipakai lembaga- lembaga administratif dan pemerintahan. Pengumpulan data terus berlanjut, khususnya melalui sensus yang dilakukan secara teratur untuk memberi informasi kependudukan yang selalu berubah. Dalam bidang pemerintahan, statistik telah digunakan seiring dengan perjalanan sejarah sejak jaman dahulu. Kitab perjanjian lama (old testament) mencatat adanya kegiatan sensus penduduk. Pemerintah kuno Babilonia, Mesir, dan Roma mengumpulkan data lengkap tentang penduduk dan kekayaan alam yang dimilikinya.

Despite being extensively studied, there is a renewed need for the estimation of fuel demand elasticities so that they might be more reflective of recent trends and changes in consumption patterns. At present, understanding the fuel demand sensitivities is especially important for policy making purposes. A review of the empirical literature on fuel demand revealed three important areas of concern.

Introduction The ability to combine quantitative methods, econometric techniques, theory and data to analyze societal problems has become one of the major strengths of agricultural economics. The inability of agricultural economists to perform this task perfectly in some cases has been linked to the fragility of econometric results (Learner, 1983; Tomek, 1993). While small changes in model specification may result in considerable impact and changes in empirical results, Hendry and Richard (1982) have shown that two models of the same relationship may result in contradicting result. Results like these weaken the value of applied econometrics (Tomek, 1993). Since the study by Tice and Kletke (1984) computer programming software have undergone tremendous improvements. However, experience in recent times has shown that available software packages are not foolproof and may not be as efficient and consistent as researchers often assume. Compounding errors, convergence, error due to how software read, interpret and process data impact the values of analytical results (see Tomek, 1993; Dewald, Thursby and Anderson, 1986).
