Estimates of potential output are an important component of a structured forecasting and policy analysis system. Using information on capacity utilization, this paper extends the multivariate filter developed by Laxton and Tetlow (1992) and modified by Benes and others (2010), Blagrave and...

In this paper, we develop a theta-discretization of time integrands for numerical solutions of forward-backward stochastic differential equations, and suggest a new set of basic functions to the Least -squares Monte Carlo simulations. This set of basic functions bases on characteristic functions...

Estimates of potential output are an important ingredient of structured forecasting and policy analysis. Using information on consensus forecasts, this paper extends the multivariate filter developed by Benes and others (2010). Although the estimates in real time are more robust relative to...
