We construct measures of individual forecasters' subjective uncertainty at horizons ranging from one to five years … uncertainty curve is more linear than the disagreement curve --- uncertainty at the one-year and two-year horizons can almost … perfectly predict uncertainty at the five-year horizon, but not so for disagreement. We document substantial heterogeneity …

We propose a multicountry quantile factor augmeneted vector autoregression (QFAVAR) to model heterogeneities both across countries and across characteristics of the distributions of macroeconomic time series. The presence of quantile factors allows for summarizing these two heterogeneities in a...

This paper evaluates whether macroeconomic uncertainty changes the impact of oil shocks on the oil price. Using a … structural threshold VAR model, we endogenously identify different regimes of uncertainty in which we estimate the effects of oil … demand and supply shocks. The results show that higher macroeconomic uncertainty, as measured by higher world industrial …
