This paper sets out the theoretical foundations for continuous-time signal extraction in econometrics. Continuous-time modeling gives an effective strategy for treating stock and flow data, irregularly spaced data, and changing frequency of observation. We rigorously derive the optimal...

An increasing number of data sources have measured the components of reallocation of jobs across employers and workers across jobs. Whether and how job reallocation across employers and excess worker “churn” affect other measures of the health of the U.S. economy remains an open question. In...

This paper develops the theory of multi-step ahead forecasting for vector time series that exhibit temporal nonstationarity and co-integration. We treat the case of a semi-infinite past by developing the forecast filters and the forecast error filters explicitly. We also provide formulas for...
