Im Rahmen moderner geldpolitischer Strategien spielt das Konzept des Produktionspotenzials eine wichtige Rolle. Es repräsentiert die nachhaltigen Produktionsmöglichkeiten einer Volkswirtschaft, die ohne Gefahren für die Preisstabilität realisiert werden können. Für eine empirische...

This paper discusses pooling versus model selection for now- and forecasting in the presence of model uncertainty with large, unbalanced datasets. Empirically, unbalanced data is pervasive in economics and typically due to different sampling frequencies and publication delays. Two model classes...

This paper compares the mixed-data sampling (MIDAS) and mixed-frequency VAR (MF-VAR) approaches to model speci…cation in the presence of mixed-frequency data, e.g., monthly and quarterly series. MIDAS leads to parsimonious models based on exponential lag polynomials for the coe¢ cients,...
