This paper compares two single-equation approaches from the recent nowcast literature: Mixed-data sampling (MIDAS) regressions and bridge equations. Both approach are used to nowcast a low-frequency variable such as quarterly GDP growth by higher-frequency business cycle indicators. Three...

In recent macroeconomic theory, relative price variability (RPV) generates the central distortions of inflation. This … paper provides first evidence on the empirical relation between inflation and RPV in the euro area focusing on threshold … effects of inflation. We find that expected inflation significantly increases RPV if inflation is either very low (below -1 …
