Forecasting the South African Economy: A DSGE-VAR Approach
This paper develops an estimated hybrid model that combines the micro-founded DSGE model with the flexibility of the theoretical VAR model. The model is estimated via the maximum likelihood technique based on quarterly data on real Gross National Product (GNP), consumption, investment and hours worked, for the South African economy, over the period of 1970:1 to 2000:4. Based on a recursive esti...
متن کاملInflation Forecasting using a Neural Network
This paper evaluates the usefulness of neural networks for inflation forecasting. In a pseudo out-of-sample forecasting experiment using recent U.S. data, neural networks outperform univariate autoregressive models on average for short horizons of 1 and 2 quarters. A simple specification of the neural network model and specialized estimation procedures from the neural networks literature appear...
متن کاملA State-Dependent Model for Inflation Forecasting
We develop a parsimonious bivariate model of inflation and unemployment that allows for persistent variation in trend inflation and the NAIRU. The model, which consists of five unobserved components (including the trends) with stochastic volatility, implies a time-varying VAR for changes in the rates of inflation and unemployment. The implied backwards-looking Phillips curve has a time-varying ...
متن کاملThe South African dysphagia screening tool (SADS): A screening tool for a developing context
BACKGROUND Notwithstanding its value, there are challenges and limitations to implementing a dysphagia screening tool from a developed contexts in a developing context. The need for a reliable and valid screening tool for dysphagia that considers context, systemic rules and resources was identified to prevent further medical compromise, optimise dysphagia prognosis and ultimately hasten patient...
متن کاملForecasting Mexico’s Inflation: the Effects of an Inflation Targeting Regime
This paper studies the effects the implementation of an inflation targeting (IT) regime has on the dynamics of inflation in Mexico. We contextualize the need for a regime change and study whether the implementation of this regime has made a considerable change in the dynamics of inflation in Mexico. Consumer prices are modelled using a markup model. The markup model suggests a long run relation...
