An Indicator of Monthly Gdp and an Early Estimate of Quarterly Gdp Growth*
نویسندگان
چکیده
A range of monthly series are currently available giving indications of short-term movements in output in the UK. The main aim of this paper is to suggest a formal and coherent procedure for grossing these monthly data up to represent the whole of GDP. Although the resultant estimates of GDP would be worse than those obtained by direct measurement, they should be more satisfactory than simply making an informal inference from whatever monthly data are available. Our examination of the efficacy of the method for estimation of the state of economic activity indicates a rather satisfactory outcome.

متن کاملWeighted-covariance Factor Decomposition of Varma Models Applied to Forecasting Quarterly U.s. Gdp at Monthly Intervals
We develop and apply a method, called weighted-covariance factor decomposition (WCD), for reducing large estimated vector autoregressive moving-average (VARMA) data models of many "important" and "unimportant" variables to smaller VARMAfactor models of "important" variables and significant factors. WCD has four particularly notable features, compared to frequently used principal components deco...

متن کاملForecasting Singapore ’ s quarterly GDP with monthly external trade *
In this paper we suggest a methodology to formulate a dynamic regression with variables observed at different time intervals. This methodology is applicable if the explanatory variables are observed more frequently than the dependent variable. We demonstrate this procedure by developing a forecasting model for Singapore’s quarterly GDP based on monthly external trade. Apart from forecasts, the ...
