Before revision:  In the empirical application, in which we evaluate forecast densities of US inflation, the HS-BQR provides well calibrated forecast densities whose individual quantiles, have the highest pseudo R squared, highlighting its potential for Value-at-Risk estimation .
After revision:  In the GaR application, we forecast tail risks as well as complete forecast densities using the McCracken and Ng (2020) database. Quantile specific and density calibration score functions show that the HS-BQR provides well calibrated forecast densities whose individual quantiles, have the highest pseudo R squared, highlighting its potential for Value-at-Risk estimation .
