Measuring the Euro Area Output Gap using Multivariate Unobserved Components Models Containing Phase Shifts
This paper analyses the impact of using different macroeconomic variables and output decompositions to estimate the euro area output gap. We estimate twelve multivariate unobserved components models with phase shifts being allowed between individual cyclical components. As output decomposition plays a central role in all multivariate models, three different output decompositions are utilised; t...
متن کاملMeasuring the German Output Gap Using Unobserved Component Models
2 Annual and quarterly data on German GDP are decomposed into a nonstationary trend, a stationary cycle and a seasonal component using Kalman filtering and smoothing techniques. The computed trend components of the unobserved component models are then used to calculate annual and quarterly output gap measures for the German economy.
متن کاملMeasuring the Euro Area Output Gap using a Multivariate Unobserved Components Model Containing Phase Shifts
Several recent studies have used multivariate unobserved components models to identify the output gap and the NAIRU. A key assumption of these models is that one common cycle component, such as the output gap, drives the cyclical fluctuations in all variables included in the model. This paper also uses the multivariate approach to estimate the euro area output gap and the trends and cycles in o...
متن کاملForecasting with Unobserved Components Time Series Models
Structural time series models are formulated in terms of components, such as trends, seasonals and cycles, that have a direct interpretation. As well as providing a framework for time series decomposition by signal extraction, they can be used for forecasting and for ‘nowcasting’ . The structural interpretation allows extensions to classes of models that are able to deal with various issues in ...
متن کاملSignal Extraction and the Formulation of Unobserved Components Models
This paper looks at unobserved components models and examines the implied weighting patterns for signal extraction. There are three main themes. The rst is the implications of correlated disturbances driving the components, especially those cases in which the correlation is perfect. The second is how setting up models with t distributed disturbances leads to weighting patterns which are robust ...
