We evaluate the forecasting performance of six different models for short-term forecasting of Macedonian GDP: 1) ARIMA model; 2) AR model estimated by the Kalman filter; 3) model that explains Macedonian GDP as a function of the foreign demand; 4) small structural model that links GDP components...

This paper investigates the existence of any systematic relationship between preliminary estimates and subsequent revisions of GDP growth rates in Macedonia. Accordingly, we use various statistical tools for testing the "news" and "noise" hypotheses and empirically assess if GDP data revisions...

Okun's law is one of the most widely-known stylized facts in the macroeconomic literature and policy. In this paper, we study several aspects of Okun's law in Macedonia between 2004 and 2014. Aggregate indicators show a link between output and unemployment that is in line with this empirical...
