ABSTRACT

Using the expectation operator at time t, we can write the forecast parameters over s 2 periods as

0 1 – +

0 Et pii,t+s-1/t+s-2

Et Bij,t+s-1/t+s-2(p) +

Et(Et+s-2 zi,t+s-1 p A(p)) Et Et+s-2 zi,t+s-1 zj,t+s-1

(p-1) A(p) =

= Et pii,t+s-1/t+s-2

Et Bij,t+s-1/t+s-2(p) Moreover, relations (44 and 46) are also verified for limit of p . Therefore, as a consequence of (45)

Bij,t + T/t ( ) = T
