Abstract:
In this paper we use principal components analysis to obtain vulnerability indicators able to predict financial turmoil. Probit modelling through principal components
and also stochastic simulation of a Dynamic Factor model are used to produce the corresponding probability forecasts regarding the currency crisis events affecting a number
of East Asian countries during the 1997-1998 period. The principal components model
improves upon a number of competing models, in terms of out-of-sample forecasting
performance
