Can you improve upon the GDP forecasts of professional forecasters using information about monetary policy?
In this paper, I examine the forecast errors of macroeconomic forecasters to see whether or not their forecasts are efficiently using information about monetary policy. The goal is to investigate, using real-time data, previous research that has found inefficiency in forecasts with respect to monetary policy. I use a real-time data set to investigate the relationship between GDP forecast errors and changes in monetary policy both in-sample and with out-of-sample methods. Out-of-sample results show that exploiting inefficiency is difficult in real time.
期刊介绍:
Since its inception in 1979, the Journal of Macroeconomics has published theoretical and empirical articles that span the entire range of macroeconomics and monetary economics. More specifically, the editors encourage the submission of high quality papers that are concerned with the theoretical or empirical aspects of the following broadly defined topics: economic growth, economic fluctuations, the effects of monetary and fiscal policy, the political aspects of macroeconomics, exchange rate determination and other elements of open economy macroeconomics, the macroeconomics of income inequality, and macroeconomic forecasting.
