We construct a real-time dataset (FRED-SD) with vintage data for the U.S. states that can be used to forecast both state-level and national-level variables. Our dataset includes approximately 28 variables per state, including labor market, production, and housing variables. We conduct two sets of real-time forecasting exercises. The …rst forecasts state-level labor-market variables using …ve di¤erent models and di¤erent levels of industrially-disaggregated data. The second forecasts a national-level variable exploiting the cross-section of state data. The state-forecasting experiments suggest that large models with industrially-disaggregated data tend to have higher predictive ability for industrially-diversi…ed states. For national-level data, we …nd that forecasting and aggregating state-level data can outperform a random walk but not an autoregression.
