Modelling the daily banknotes in circulation in the context of the liquidity management of the European Central Bank
Cabrero, Alberto; Camba-Méndez, Gonzalo; Hirsch, Astrid; … - 2002
The main focus of this paper is to model the daily series of banknotes in circulation in the context of the liquidity management of the Eurosystem. The series of banknotes in circulation displays very marked seasonal patterns. To the best of our knowledge the empirical performance of two...

Yield curve prediction for the strategic investor
Bernadell, Carlos; Coche, Joachim; Nyholm, Ken - 2005
This paper presents a new framework allowing strategic investors to generate yield curve projections contingent on expectations about future macroeconomic scenarios. By consistently linking the shape and location of yield curves to the state of the economy our method generates predictions for...

Forecasting economic aggregates by disaggregates
Hendry, David F.; Hubrich, Kirstin - 2006
We suggest an alternative use of disaggregate information to forecast the aggregate variable of interest, that is to include disaggregate information or disaggregate variables in the aggregate model as opposed to first forecasting the disaggregate variables separately and then aggregating those...

Combining disaggregate forecasts or combining disaggregate information to forecast an aggregate
Hendry, David F.; Hubrich, Kirstin - 2010
To forecast an aggregate, we propose adding disaggregate variables, instead of combining forecasts of those disaggregates or forecasting by a univariate aggregate model. New analytical results show the effects of changing coefficients, mis-specification, estimation uncertainty and...

Euro area labour markets: different reaction to shocks?
Brůha, Jan; Pierluigi, Beatrice; Serafini, Roberta - 2011
A small labour market model for the six largest euro area countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium) is estimated in a state -space framework. The model entails, in the long run, four driving forces: a trend labour force component, a trend labour productivity component,...

Prediction using several macroeconomic models
Amisano, Gianni; Geweke, John - 2013
Prediction of macroeconomic aggregates is one of the primary functions of macroeconometric models, including dynamic factor models, dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models, and vector autoregressions. This study establishes methods that improve the predictions of these models, using a...

On the design of data sets for forecasting with dynamic factor models
Rünstler, Gerhard - 2016
Forecasts from dynamic factor models potentially benefit from refining the data set by eliminating uninformative series. The paper proposes to use prediction weights as provided by the factor model itself for this purpose. Monte Carlo simulations and an empirical application to short-term...
