Macroeconomic Forecasting Using Diffusion Indexes
This article studies forecasting a macroeconomic time series variable using a large number of predictors. The predictors are summarized using a small number of indexes constructed by principal component analysis. An approximate dynamic factor model serves as the statistical framework for the estimation of the indexes and construction of the forecasts. The method is used to construct 6-, 12-, an...
متن کاملThe State of Macroeconomic Forecasting
Macroeconomic forecasts are used extensively in industry and government The historical accuracy of US and UK forecasts are examined in the light of different approaches to evaluating macro forecasts. Issues discussed include the comparative accuracy of macroeconometric models compared to their time series alternatives, whether the forecasting record has improved over time, the rationality of ma...
متن کاملTwo Approaches to Macroeconomic Forecasting
F ollowing World War II, the quantity and quality of macroeconomic data expanded dramatically. The most important factor was the regular publication of the National Income and Product Accounts, which contained hundreds of consistently defined and measured statistics that summarized overall economic activity. As the data supply expanded, entrepreneurs realized that a market existed for applying ...
متن کاملMacroeconomic Forecasting Using Genetic Programming Based Vector Error Correction Model
Vector autoregressions are widely used in macroeconomic forecasting since they became known in the 1970s. Extensions including vector error correction models, co-integration and dynamic factor models are all rooted in the framework of vector autoregression. The three important extensions are demonstrated to have formal equivalence between each other. Above all, they all emphasize the importance...
متن کاملForecasting in Large Macroeconomic Panels Using Bayesian Model Averaging
This paper considers the problem of forecasting in large macroeconomic panels using Bayesian model averaging. Practical methods for implementing Bayesian model averaging with factor models are described. These methods involve algorithms that simulate from the space defined by all possible models. We explain how these simulation algorithms can also be used to select the model with the highest ma...
