英文摘要：
  In this paper we forecast daily returns of crypto-currencies using a wide variety of different econometric models. To capture salient features commonly observed in financial time series like rapid changes in the conditional variance, non-normality of the measurement errors and sharply increasing trends, we develop a time-varying parameter VAR with t-distributed measurement errors and stochastic volatility. To control for overparameterization, we rely on the Bayesian literature on shrinkage priors that enables us to shrink coefficients associated with irrelevant predictors and/or perform model specification in a flexible manner. Using around one year of daily data we perform a real-time forecasting exercise and investigate whether any of the proposed models is able to outperform the naive random walk benchmark. To assess the economic relevance of the forecasting gains produced by the proposed models we moreover run a simple trading exercise.

中文摘要：
在本文中，我们使用各种不同的计量经济模型预测加密货币的每日收益。为了捕捉金融时间序列中常见的显著特征，如条件方差的快速变化、测量误差的非正态性和急剧增长的趋势，我们开发了一个具有t分布测量误差和随机波动性的时变参数VAR。为了控制过参数化，我们依赖于贝叶斯收缩先验文献，这使我们能够收缩与无关预测值相关的系数和/或以灵活的方式执行模型规范。使用大约一年的每日数据，我们进行了实时预测，并调查是否有任何拟议的模型能够优于朴素随机游走基准。为了评估拟议模型产生的预测收益的经济相关性，我们还进行了一次简单的交易练习。
