-Wouters model and its forecasts of real GDP growth and inflation are compared with those from two extensions. The first adds … extensions improve the density forecasts of real GDP and inflation and their joint forecasts up to an eight-quarter horizon. We … find that adding financial frictions leads to a deterioration in the forecasts, with the exception of longer-term inflation …

The goal of this paper is to construct leading indicators that anticipate inflation cycle turning points on a real time … monitoring basis. As a first step, turning points of the IPCA inflation are determined using a periodic stochastic Markov … is then used to extract common cyclical movements in a set of variables that display predictive content for inflation …

The period of extraordinary volatility in euro area headline inflation starting in 2007 raised the question whether … for HICP headline inflation and HICP excluding food and energy. We investigate how forecast accuracy of the combination … including the global financial crisis with its extraordinary volatility in inflation. Overall, we find that forecast combination …

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 …

This paper addresses the challenge of inflation forecasting by adopting a thick modeling approach that integrates … inflation volatility. By pooling insights from diverse modeling frameworks, this study provides a robust and effective strategy … for improving inflation forecasts across different horizons. …

The series included in the two … turning points in the inflation cycle ex post and perform well in a simulated real-time exercise over the period from 2010 to …

In this paper, I apply univariate and vector autoregressive (VAR) models to forecast inflation in Vietnam. To … properties of inflation in Vietnam. Then, I compute the pseudo out-of-sample root mean square error (RMSE) as a measure of … forecasting models from among the different candidates.
