This paper examines the long-run validity of purchasing power parity (PPP) for four high-inflation countries. The …, during the recent floating exchange rate period, PPP holds well, at least in a weak form, in high-inflation countries where …

Estimates of potential output are an important ingredient of structured forecasting and policy analysis. Using information on consensus forecasts, this paper extends the multivariate filter developed by Benes and others (2010). Although the estimates in real time are more robust relative to...

In this paper we extend the traditional GARCH(1,1) model by including a functional trend term in the conditional volatility of a time series. We derive the main properties of the model and apply it to all agricultural commodities in the Mexican CPI basket, as well as to the international prices...

In this paper we investigate the behavior of inflation persistence in the United States. To model inflation we estimate … varying persistence, which not only distinguishes between changes in the dynamics of inflation and its volatility, but it also … allows for feedback from nominal uncertainty to inflation. Our empirical results suggest that inflation persistence in the …

In this chapter, a vector subset autoregressive process is fitted using a block modified Choleski decomposition method and a leaps-and-bounds algorithm to attain the best subset autoregression for each size (number of non-zero coefficient matrices). Model selection criteria are then employed to...
