Popis: We consider spillovers between oil price volatility and key uncertainty indicators and we extend the applicability of the spillover index beyond economic inference, by generating forecasts of oil price volatility. The paper shows that spillovers do not contain significant predictive information, raising critical questions regarding the usefulness of the spillover index for forecasting exercises at low sampling frequency.
