The Business Cycle and Chain-Weighted GDP: Has Our Perspective Changed?
In early 1996 the Bureau of Economic Analysis released data from an extensive revision to its measures of aggregate economic activity in the United States. The new data and methodology, which represent the first comprehensive revision of the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA) since 1991, reflect more substantial changes than have many previous revisions.1 While past revisions have chan...
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...
متن کاملModeling and Forecasting Effects of Crude Oil Price Changes on the US and UK GDP
       This paper proposes a new forecasting model for investigating relationship between the price of crude oil, as an important energy source and GDP of the US, as the largest oil consumer, and the UK, as the oil producer. GMDH neural network and MLFF neural network approaches, which are both non-linear models, are employed to forecast GDP responses to the oil price changes. The resul...
متن کاملWas the Recent Downturn in US GDP Predictable?
This paper uses small set of variables-real GDP, the inflation rate, and the short-term interest rate -and a rich set of models -athoeretical and theoretical, linear and nonlinear, as well as classical and Bayesian models -to consider whether we could have predicted the recent downturn of the US real GDP. Comparing the performance by root mean squared errors of the models to the benchmark rando...
متن کاملChain-weighting: The New Approach to Measuring GDP
The U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) is changing its method of measuring the growth of the U.S. economy. Shifts in the structure of the economy—particularly the spectacular fall in computer prices—have meant that BEA’s traditional “fixed-base-year” method of tracking the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP) has tended to overstate growth in recent years. As a res...
