Nowcasting GDP with a large factor model space
Eraslan, Sercan; Schröder, Maximilian - 2019
We propose a novel time-varying parameters mixed-frequency dynamic factor model which is integrated into a dynamic model averaging framework for macroeconomic nowcasting. Our suggested model can efficiently deal with the nature of the real-time data flow as well as parameter uncertainty and...

Would DSGE models have predicted the Great Recession in Austria?
Breuss, Fritz - 2016
story-telling and policy analysis were in the forefront of applications since its inception, the forecasting perspective of … models are inferior in ex-ante forecasting a crisis. Surprisingly however, it turned out that not all but those models which … only detect the turning point of the Austrian business cycle early in 2008 but they also succeeded in forecasting the …

Euro Area Real-Time Density Forecasting with Financial or Labor Market Frictions
McAdam, Peter - 2018
We compare real-time density forecasts for the euro area using three DSGE models. The benchmark is the Smets-Wouters model and its forecasts of real GDP growth and inflation are compared with those from two extensions. The first adds financial frictions and expands the observables to include a...

Forecasting industrial production in Germany : the predictive power of leading indicators
Schlösser, Alexander - 2020
We investigate the predictive power of several leading indicators in order to forecast industrial production in Germany. In addition, we compare their predictive performance with variables from two competing categories, namely macroeconomic and financial variables. The predictive power within...

Large vector autoregressions with asymmetric priors
Carriero, Andrea; Clark, Todd E.; Marcellino, Massimiliano - 2015 - This draft: November 2015
We propose a new algorithm which allows easy estimation of Vector Autoregressions (VARs) featuring asymmetric priors and time varying volatilities, even when the cross sectional dimension of the system N is particularly large. The algorithm is based on a simple triangularisation which allows to...

Are constant interest rate forecasts modest interventions? : evidence from an estimated open economy DSGE model of the Euro Area
Adolfson, Malin; Laséen, Stefan; Lindé, Jesper; … - 2005
This paper uses an estimated open economy DSGE model to examine if constant interest forecasts one and two years ahead can be regarded as modest policy interventions during the period 1993Q4-2002Q4. An intervention is here defined to be modest if it does not trigger the agents to revise their...

Real-time forecasting using mixed-frequency VARs with time-varying parameters
Heinrich, Markus; Reif, Magnus - 2020
This paper provides a detailed assessment of the real-time forecast accuracy of a wide range of vector autoregressive models (VAR) that allow for both structural change and indicators sampled at different frequencies. We extend the literature by evaluating a mixed-frequency time-varying...
