We propose two novel methods to "bring ABMs to the data". First, we put forward a new Bayesian procedure to estimate the numerical values of ABM parameters that takes into account the time structure of simulated and observed time series. Second, we propose a method to forecast aggregate time...

This paper assesses the relationship between institutions, output, and productivity, when official output is corrected … output and total factor productivity, and its negative impact on the size of the underground economy. However, once output is … total ("corrected") factor productivity even becomes insignificant. Differences in corrected output must then be attributed …

I estimate CES aggregate production functions for the US, the UK, Japan, Germany, and Spain using data from the EU KLEMS database. I distinguish between three types of capital: information and communication technologies (ICT), intellectual property (IP) capital, and traditional capital. I assume...

This paper evaluates the predictive content of a set of alternative monthly indicators of global economic activity for nowcasting and forecasting quarterly world GDP using mixed-frequency models. We find that a recently proposed indicator that covers multiple dimensions of the global economy...

This paper studies the effect of structural change on the historical path of aggregate labor productivity growth for a … that structural change may have on future productivity growth. We document that the observed reallocation of economic … activity since the 1970s towards the service sector has exerted a strongly negative effect on aggregate productivity growth in …
