This Selected Issues paper analyzes external shocks and business cycle fluctuations in Mexico. The paper examines the relative importance of U.S. demand shocks—and other foreign disturbances—in explaining Mexican output fluctuations. It identifies the dynamic response of...

We forecast US state-level employment growth using several distinct econometric approaches: combinations of individual autoregressive distributed lag models, general-to-specific modeling with bootstrap aggregation (GETS-bagging), and approximate factor (or “beta”) models. Our results show...

A Markov switching common factor is used to drive a dynamic factor model for important macroeconomic variables in eight countries. Bayesian estimation of the model is based on Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation methods which yield inferences about the unobservable path of the common factor, the...
