''The Optimal Prediction Simultaneous Equations Selection''
( 2005, Vol. 3 No.36 )
 
 
This paper presents a method for selection of the optimal simultaneous equation system from a set of nested models under the condition of a small sample. The purpose of selection is to identify a model with the best prognostic possibilities. Multivariate AIC, BIC and AICC are used as the selection criteria. The selection properties of this method are investigated by Monte-Carlo simulations. They show that the structural form of system can outperform its reduced form for making predictions.
