Much research studies US inflation history with a trend-cycle model with unobserved components. A key feature of this … model is that the trend may be viewed as the Fed's evolving inflation target or long-horizon expected inflation. We provide … a new way to measure the slowly evolving trend and the cycle (or inflation gap), based on forecasts from the Survey of …

Recent empirical work has considered the prediction of inflation by combining the information in a large number of time … the forecasts over a large number of different models, each of which is a linear regression model that relates inflation … pseudo out-of-sample prediction of US inflation, and find that it gives more accurate forecasts than simple equal weighted …

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...

We provide a new way to filter US inflation into trend and cycle components, based on extracting long-run forecasts …, then estimating parameters, and then extracting the stochastic trend in inflation. The trend-cycle model with unobserved … components is consistent with numerous studies of US inflation history and is of interest partly because the trend may be viewed …

The difficulty in modelling inflation and the significance in discovering the underlying data generating process of … inflation is expressed in an ample literature regarding inflation forecasting.
