Nowcasting 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 کاملPooling 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 کاملReading Newspapers Ranked Lowest Versus Other Media for Early Teens
Re. Bsearchers have long been interested in adolescents' media use. Surprisingly, however, few studies have investigated young teens' newspaper consumption habits. These studies document the significant declines in newspaper readership in general and among young readers in particular.' Fewer researchers have examined the impact of race on newspaper readership.^ Additionally, there are no large-...
متن کاملScaling the volatility of GDP growth rates
The distribution of shocks to GDP growth rates is found to be exponential rather than normal. Their standard deviation b scales with GDP where b 5 2 0.1560.03. These macroeconomic results place restrictions on the microeconomic structure of interactions between agents. 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
متن کاملForecasting GDP Growth Using ANN Model with Genetic Algorithm
Applying nonlinear models to estimation and forecasting economic models are now becoming more common, thanks to advances in computing technology. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) models, which are nonlinear local optimizer models, have proven successful in forecasting economic variables. Most ANN models applied in Economics use the gradient descent method as their learning algorithm. However, t...
