Evaluating the rationality of fixed-event forecasts
Article Abstract:
A test of fixed-event forecasts yields informative results in terms of its use in testing weak-efficiency hypothesis and its relation to forecast rationality. Fixed-event forecasts are useful in creating powerful tests of a hypothesis regarding weak-efficiency, provided that the number of available fixed-event forecasts are small. The concept of weak efficiency may be separated in principle from the rationality concept due to assymetric loss.
