Notes: Country and sector specific hm-statistics indicating the accuracy of three competing forecasting schemes (LIN, THM, SPA) to
predict conditionally the correct sign of export growth. agg and agg
* denote unconditional aggregates and aggregates obtained over
states of unusually low and high FX uncertainty, respectively. Results for imports are given on aggregate levels only. Bold entries
indicate hm-statistics significantly exceeding unity. Critical values are estimated by means of own simulations.
