Were we to include forecast errors from the recession and disinflation of the early 1990s, our RMSEs would increase. ... Were we to include the volatile 1970s and 1980s, our RMSEs would presumably increase further.

RMSEs are often used for this purpose. If forecast errors are normally distributed, there is about a two-thirds probability that actual outcomes will fall within one RMSE of the forecast, ... and about a 95 per cent probability that they fall within two
