This paper considers the problem of forecasting in large macroeconomic panels using Bayesian model averaging. Practical … apply these methods to the problem of forecasting GDP and inflation using quarterly U.S. data on 162 time series. Our … analysis indicates that models containing factors do outperform autoregressive models in forecasting both GDP and inflation …

In the US, income and expenditure-side estimates of GDP (GDPI and GDPE) measure "true" GDP with error and are available at a quarterly frequency. Methods exist for using these proxies to produce reconciled quarterly estimates of true GDP. In this paper, we extend these methods to provide...

Many structural break and regime-switching models have been used with macroeconomic and financial data. In this paper, we develop an extremely flexible parametric model that accommodates virtually any of these specifications - and does so in a simple way that allows for straightforward Bayesian...

In their influential work on the consumption-wealth relationship, Lettau and Ludvigson found that while consumption responds to permanent changes in wealth in the expected manner, most changes in wealth are transitory with no effect on consumption. We investigate the robustness of these results...

We use factor augmented vector autoregressive models with time-varying coefficients to construct a financial conditions index. The time-variation in the parameters allows for the weights attached to each .financial variable in the index to evolve over time. Furthermore, we develop methods for...
