摘要
This paper studies the predictability of the Brent crude oil price. In accordance with previous literature, we find that the simple no-change forecast works better than forecasts based on futures prices over short-term horizons (less than one year). However, futures-based forecasts perform better than the no-change forecast across long-term horizons (one to five years). Moreover, the best performing model is a model that imposes very little structure on the relationship between spot and futures prices.
