โฆ Synopsis
See Chinn and Meese (1992) for evidence and justification of constrained parameter values. They use x(r) = [ s ( t )log(rn(r)/rn*(r)) + 0.75 log(y(f)/y*(t)) -4.5(i(f) -i*(r))l, where rn, y , and i are domestic money supply, real income, and interest rate proxies, respectively. Foreign values of these variables are indicated with an asterisk.

An algebraic relationship between mean square error comparisons and encompassing tests is provided by a contrast of two of the earliest regression equations for comparing forecasting formulas. Hoel (1947) proposed a regression equation of precisely the form given by CH (equation (44)), namely, wher
one-step forecasts is, of course, simply the analogy of many in-sample tests of model specification. In this context, it is amusing that much recent applied econometric work has, in effect, exploited fitted models to make inference about economic systems, as the forecast horizon approaches injinity!
