Este trabajo propone un método para ajustar los datos atípicos en modelos vectoriales autorregresivos estimados con técnicas bayesianas (BVAR) que supone reescalar por magnitudes diferentes la varianza de los errores de la forma reducida. Se utiliza este método para documentar varios hechos...

En este artículo se introducen nuevos esquemas de ponderación para promediar de modelos econométricos cuando se está interesado en combinar predicciones de variables discretas provenientes de modelos con cambios de régimen markoviano. En una aplicación empírica, se pronostican los puntos...

This study utilizes the dynamic factor model of Giannone et al. (2008) in order to make now-/forecasts of GDP quarter-on-quarter growth rates in Switzerland. It also assesses the informational content of macroeconomic data releases for forecasting of the Swiss GDP. We find that the factor model...

This study evaluates forecasting performance of a large-scale factor model developed in Siliverstovs and Kholodilin (2012) in a genuine ex ante forecasting exercise. We perform our forecast of GDP growth in Switzerland in real time using real-time data vintages collected at weekly frequency....

We present a medium-scale dynamic factor model to estimate and forecast the rate of growth of the Spanish economy in the very short term. The intermediate size of the model overcomes the serious specification problems associated with large-scale models and the implicit loss of information of...

We analyse the likely effects of changes in the monetary and financial regimes of EMU countries on the dynamics of output and inflation. In particular, we evaluate the impact of the regime shift on the forecasting performance of reduced-form models. Data for both the pre-EMU and the EMU regimes...

En este trabajo se describen los modelos econométricos utilizados por el Banco de España para hacer el seguimiento de la inflación y prever sus tendencias futuras. La estrategia empleada se fundamenta en gran medida en los resultados de un conjunto de modelos econométricos, que se...
