Pooling versus model selection for nowcasting with many predictors: an application to German GDP
This paper discusses pooling versus model selection for nowand forecasting in the presence of model uncertainty with large, unbalanced datasets. Empirically, unbalanced data is pervasive in economics and typically due to di¤erent sampling frequencies and publication delays. Two model classes suited in this context are factor models based on large datasets and mixed-data sampling (MIDAS) regress...
متن کاملMethods for Pastcasting, Nowcasting and Forecasting Using Factor-MIDAS with an Application to Real-Time Korean GDP *
We discuss a variety of recent methodological advances that can be used to estimate mixed frequency factor-MIDAS models for the purpose of pastcasting, nowcasting, and forecasting. In order to illustrate the uses of this methodology, we introduce a new real-time Korean GDP dataset, and carry out a series of prediction experiments, using a two step approach. In a first step, we estimate common l...
متن کاملNowcasting Gdp in the Euro Area
This paper compares the mixed-data sampling (MIDAS) and mixed-frequency VAR (MFVAR) approaches to model speci cation in the presence of mixed-frequency data, e.g., monthly and quarterly series. MIDAS leads to parsimonious models based on exponential lag polynomials for the coe¢ cients, whereas MF-VAR does not restrict the dynamics and therefore can su¤er from the curse of dimensionality. But if...
متن کاملPotential Gdp Growth in Venezuela: a Structural Time Series Approach
Real GDP and oil prices are decomposed into common stochastic trend and cycle processes, using structural time series models. Potential real GDP is represented by the level of the trend component of real GDP. The potential rate of growth of real GDP is represented by the stochastic drift element of the trend component. We find that there is a strong association at the trend and cycle frequencie...
متن کاملComparing German East Europeans and German Turks
This paper discusses the results of research on young immigrants’ political participation on the Internet in Germany. The research focuses on young people from Turkish and East European backgrounds. The interrelation between offline political activities and online political participation is explained and the differences between the two groups are examined. While young German Turks are particula...
