Resumo

The following dissertation aims to show the benefits of a forecast combination between an econometric and a deep learning approach. On one side, a Factor Augmented Vector Autoregressive Model (FAVAR) with naming variables identification following Stock and Watson (2016) 1 ; on the other side, a Stacked De-noising Auto-Encoder with Bagging (SDAEB) following Zhao, Li and Yu (2017) 2 are implemented. From January 2010 to September 2018 Two-hundred-eighty-one monthly series are used to predict the price of the West Texas Intermediate (WTI). The model performance is analysed by Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) and Directional Accuracy (DA). The combination benefits from both SDAE-B’s high accuracy and FAVAR’s interpretation features through impulse response functions (IRFs) and forecast error variance decomposition (FEVD).
