ECONOMETRICFORECASTING MODELS FOR
SHORT TERM NATURALRUBBER PRICES
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF WORLD NATURALRUBBER INDUSTRY
MODELS SPECIFICATIONS, SIMULATION AND EVALUATION
This study presents a number of short-term ex-post forecasts of singleequation model, Multivariate Autoregressive Moving Average (MARMA)model, simultaneous supply-demand and price system equation model, andAutoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model, and ARCH-typemodels of natural rubber (NR) SMR20 (Standard Malaysia Rubber of grade20) prices in the world NR market. The ARCH-type models (AutoregressiveConditional Heteroskedasticity) used include the GARCH (1,1) (GeneralizedARCH) model, EGARCH (1,1) (The Exponential GARCH) model, PARCH (1,1)(The Power ARCH) and CGARCH (1,1) (The Component GARCH) model. Themodels were utilized using monthly data from January 1990 to December2008 as estimation period, providing a total of 228 observations and datawas used as an ex-post forecasts. The results revealed that the forecastingperformance of the simultaneous supply-demand and price systemequation model was more efficient than single equation model, MARMAmodel and ARIMA model, and ARCH-type models for ex-post forecast inestimating the price of SMR20 in the next 6 months or so.
