Inflation and inflation uncertainty in the Euro Area
This paper estimates a time-varying AR-GARCH model of inflation producing measures of inflation uncertainty for the euro area, and investigates the linkages between them in a VAR framework, also allowing for the possible impact of the policy regime change associated with the start of EMU in 1999. The main findings are as follows. Steady-state inflation and inflation uncertainty have declined st...
متن کاملHave Economic Models’ Forecasting Performance for US Output Growth and Inflation Changed Over Time, and When?
We evaluate various economic models’ relative performance in forecasting future US output growth and inflation on a monthly basis. Our approach takes into account the possibility that the models’ relative performance can be varying over time. We show that the models’ relative performance has, in fact, changed dramatically over time, both for revised and realtime data, and investigate possible f...
متن کاملNonlinear phillips curves in the Euro area and USA? Evidence from linear and neural network models
This paper applies neural network methodology to inßation forecasting in the Euro-area and the USA. Neural network methodology outperforms linear forecasting methods for the Euro Area at forecast horizons of one, three, and six month horizons, while the linear model is preferable for US data. The nonlinear estimation shows that unemployment is a signiÞcant predictor of inßation for the Euro A...
متن کاملVii. Inflation Persistence in the Euro Area

This persistence may seem puzzling in the light of weakness in activity and is only partly explained by factors like oil and food...
