Abstract: This paper documents the out-of-sample forecasting accuracy of the New Keynesian Model for Canadian data. We repeatedly estimate the model over samples of increasing lengths, forecasting out-of-sample one to four quarters ahead at each step. We then compare these forecasts with those arising from an unrestricted VAR using recent econometric tests. We show that the accuracy of the New Keynesian model's forecasts compares favourably to that of the benchmark. The principle of parsimony is invoked to explain these results
