Forecasting inflation is an important and challenging task. In this paper we assume that the core inflation components … evolve as a multivariate local level process. This model, which is theoretically attractive for modelling inflation dynamics … estimates, as we show in a Monte Carlo exercise. In an application to euro-area inflation we find that our forecasts compare …

This paper analyzes the efficacy of SARIMA models in view of forecasting the inflation rates in the Turkish economy. We … perform rigorous tests on the stationarity and show that seasonality in the Turkish inflation rate is both deterministic and … stochastic in nature, with the latter form dominating the inflation process. Further, we provide the first study that tests for …

Economic policies are generally formulated on the basis of data available in real time, which might subsequently be revised. Implicitly, the possibility of data revisions creates an element of uncertainty around the very same data driving policy decisions. Given that such uncertainty could be...

We have assessed the effect of data releases when constructing short-term point and density forecasts of the Spanish gross domestic product growth. For this purpose, we considered a real-forecasting exercise in which we defined several pseudo-data vintages that had a mixture of monthly and...

In this paper we consider the value of Google Trends search data for nowcasting (and forecasting) GDP growth for a developed (U.S.) and emerging-market economy (Brazil). Our focus is on the marginal contribution of "Big Data" in the form of Google Trends data over and above that of traditional...
