Non-parametric Direct Multi-step Estimation for Forecasting Economic Processes.

We evaluate the asymptotic and finite-sample properties of direct multi-step estimation DMS) for forecasting at several horizons. For forecast accuracy gains from DMS in finite samples, mis-specification and non-stationarity of the DGP are necessary, but when a model is well-specified, iterating the...
