Structural Time Series Models for Business Cycle Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
The chapter deals with parametric models for the measurement of the business cycle in economic time series. It presents univariate methods based on parametric trend–cycle decompositions and multivariate models featuring a Phillips type relationship between the output gap and inflation and the estimation of the gap using mixed frequency data. We finally address the issue of assessing the accuracy of the output gap estimates.

Optimal Filtering for a Common Stochastic Cycle Shifted in Continuous Time
In business cycle analysis leading, coincident and lagging variables are usually modelled by integer delay parameters. This practice is suboptimal when the underlying common process is in continuous time. In this paper it is shown how to carry out optimal filtering and maximum likelihood estimation of the continuous time delay for a stochastic cycle of the type used in structural time series mo...
متن کاملTime Series Analysis
The analysis of economic time series is central to a wide range of applications, including business cycle measurement, financial risk management, policy analysis based on structural dynamic econometric models, and forecasting. This article provides an overview of the problems of specification, estimation and inference in linear stationary and ergodic time series models as well as non-stationary...
متن کاملInvestigating Chaos in Tehran Stock Exchange Index
Modeling and analysis of future prices has been hot topic for economic analysts in recent years. Traditionally, the complex movements in the prices are usually taken as random or stochastic process. However, they may be produced by a deterministic nonlinear process. Accuracy and efficiency of economic models in the short period forecasting is strategic and crucial for business world. Nonlinear ...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Relationship between the Business Cycle and Inflation Gap in Time-Frequency Domain
Controlling the business cycle and minimizing the inflation gap are considered as two major goals for monetary policy. Hence, the policymaker will be able to make more decisive decisions with an awareness of the dynamic relationship and causal relationship between these two variables. Accordingly, the present study uses a discrete and continuous wavelet transform to provide a new understanding ...
متن کاملTREND-CYCLE ESTIMATION USING FUZZY TRANSFORM OF HIGHER DEGREE
In this paper, we provide theoretical justification for the application of higher degree fuzzy transform in time series analysis. Under the assumption that a time series can be additively decomposed into a trend-cycle, a seasonal component and a random noise, we demonstrate that the higher degree fuzzy transform technique can be used for the estimation of the trend-cycle, which is one of the ba...
