We propose to treat survey-based density expectations as compositional data when testing either for heterogeneity in density forecasts across different groups of agents or for changes over time. Monte Carlo simulations show that the proposed test has more power relative to both a bootstrap...

Using real-time data, we analyze how the systematic expectation errors of professional forecasters in 19 advanced economies depend on the state of the business cycle. Our results indicate that the general result that forecasters systematically overestimate output growth (across all countries)...

We use the concept of predictability as presented in Diebold and Kilian (2001) to assess how well the growth rates of various components of German GDP can be forecasted. In particular, it is analyzed how well different commonly used leading indicators can increase predictability of these time...

Das Wachstum des Produktionspotentials in Deutschland dürfte sich seit dem Jahr 2004 um rund einen halben Prozentpunkt beschleunigt haben. Maßgeblich hierfür ist ein Anstieg des Arbeitsvolumens infolge von Arbeitsmarktreformen, geringerer Steuer- und Abgabenbelastung sowie höherem...
