• The U.S. New Keynesian Phillips Curve: An Empirical Assessment

• Exact Tests of Equal Forecast Accuracy with an Application to the Term Structure of Interest Rates

  Staff Working Paper 2004-2 Richard Luger

  The author proposes a class of exact tests of the null hypothesis of exchangeable forecast errors and, hence, of the hypothesis of no difference in the unconditional accuracy of two competing forecasts.
