Abstract

This paper aims to suggest the best forecasting model for the semiconductor market. A wide range of alternative modern econometric modeling approaches have been implemented, and a large variety of criteria and tests have been employed to assess the out-of-sample forecasting accuracy at various horizons. The results suggest that if a VECM can be an interesting source of information, the Bayesian models are superior forecasting tools compared to univariate and unrestricted VAR models. However, for decision makers a spectral method could be a useful tool, which can be easily implemented. In addition, MS-AR models make it possible to obtain valuable forecasts on turning-points in order to adjust the programming of heavy capital and research investments.
