Ghysels and Marcellino on Time-Series Forecasting

If you're teaching a forecasting course and want a good text, or if you're just looking for an informative and modern treatment, see Applied Economic Forecasting Using Time Series Methods, by Eric Ghysels and Massimilliano Marcellino. It will be published this week by Oxford University Press. It has a very nice modern awareness of Big Data with emphasis on reduced-rank structure, regularization methods -- LASSO appears as early as p. 23! -- , structural change, mixed-frequencies, etc. It's also very tastefully done in terms of what's included and what's excluded, emphasizing what's most important and de-emphasizing the rest. As regards non-linearity, for example, volatility dynamics and regime-switching are in, and most of the rest is out.
