Forecasting Oil Price by Hierarchical Shrinkage in Dynamic Parameter Models by Yuntong Liu, Yu Wei, Yi Liu, Wenjuan Li

“…The aim of this paper is to forecast monthly crude oil price with a hierarchical shrinkage approach, which utilizes not only LASSO for predictor selection, but a hierarchical Bayesian method to determine whether constant coefficient (CC) or time-varying parameter (TVP) predictive regression should be employed in each out-of-sample forecasting step. This newly developed method has the advantages of both model shrinkage and automatic switch between CC and TVP forecasting models; thus, this may produce more accurate predictions of crude oil prices. …”
