Abstract

Following recent non‐linear extensions of the present‐value model, this paper examines the out‐of‐sample forecast performance of two parametric and two non‐parametric nonlinear models of stock returns. The parametric models include the standard regime switching and the Markov regime switching, whereas the non‐parametric are the nearest‐neighbour and the artificial neural network models. We focused on the US stock market using annual observations spanning the period 1872–1999. Evaluation of forecasts was based on two criteria, namely forecast accuracy and forecast encompassing. In terms of accuracy, the Markov and the artificial neural network models produce at least as accurate forecasts as the other models. In terms of encompassing, the Markov model outperforms all the others. Overall, both criteria suggest that the Markov regime switching model is the most preferable non‐linear empirical extension of the present‐value model for out‐of‐sample stock return forecasting.

## Abstract We examine the out‐of‐sample performance of monthly returns forecasts for the Dow Jones and the FT, using a linear and an artificial neural network (ANN) model. The comparison of out‐of‐sample forecasts is done on the basis of directional accuracy, using the Pesaran and Timmermann (1992

This paper develops a new method for the analysis of stochastic volatility (SV) models. Since volatility is a latent variable in SV models, it is dicult to evaluate the exact likelihood. In this paper, a non-linear ®lter which yields the exact likelihood of SV models is employed. Solving a series of
