Title:A Comparison of Mixed Frequency Approaches for Modelling Euro Area Macroeconomic Variables
Author(s):FORONI, Claudia; MARCELLINO, MassimilianoDate:2012Type of Publication:Working PaperSeries/Report no.:EUI ECOAbstract:Forecast models that take into account unbalanced datasets have recently attracted substantial attention. In this paper, we focus on different methods pro- posed so far in the literature to deal with mixed-frequency and ...
Title:Common Drifting Volatility in Large Bayesian VARs
Author(s):CARRIERO, Andrea; CLARK, Todd E.; MARCELLINO, MassimilianoDate:2012Type of Publication:Working PaperSeries/Report no.:EUI ECOAbstract:The estimation of large Vector Autoregressions with stochastic volatility using standard methods is computationally very demanding. In this paper we propose to model conditional volatilities as driven by a single common ...
Title:Forecasting Large Datasets with Bayesian Reduced Rank Multivariate Models
Author(s):CARRIERO, Andrea; KAPETANIOS, George; MARCELLINO, MassimilianoDate:2009Type of Publication:Working PaperSeries/Report no.:EUI ECOAbstract:The paper addresses the issue of forecasting a large set of variables using multivariate models. In particular, we propose three alternative reduced rank forecasting models and compare their predictive performance for US ...
Title:Forecasting Euro-Area Variables with German Pre-EMU Data
Author(s):BRUEGGEMANN, Ralf; LUETKEPOHL, Helmut; MARCELLINO, MassimilianoDate:2006Type of Publication:Working PaperSeries/Report no.:EUI ECOAbstract:It is investigated whether Euro-area variables can be forecast better based on synthetic
time series for the pre-Euro period or by using just data from Germany for the pre-Euro period.
Our forecast comparison is based ...
Title:A Markup Model for Forecasting Inflation for the Euro Area
Author(s):RUSSELL, Bill; BANERJEE, AnindyaDate:2006Type of Publication:ArticleAbstract:We develop a small model for forecasting inflation for the euro area using quarterly data over the period June 1973 to March 1999. The model is used to provide inflation forecasts from June 1999 to March 2002. We compare ...
