This paper formalizes the process of updating the nowcast and forecast on out-put and inflation as new releases of data … Philadelphia surveys have a large marginal impact on the nowcast of both inflation variables and real variables and this effect is … sizeable. Prices and quantities affect the precision of the estimates of inflation while GDP is only affected by real variables …

The contribution of this paper is to derive a bivariate distribution for inflation and output uncertainty with a well …-defined role for subjective judgements. The marginal distributions for inflation and output growth are derived from uncertainty in … the macro variables that are deemed to be important for future inflation and output growth. The uncertainty in the macro …

The paper compares one-period ahead forecasting performance of linear vector-autoregressive (VAR) models and single-equation Markov-switching (MS) models for two cases: when leading information is available and when it is not. The results show that single-equation MS models tend to perform...
