Short Term Inflation Forecasting: The M.E.T.A. Approach

Abstract: Forecasting inflation is an important and challenging task. In this paper we assume that the core inflation components evolve as a multivariate local level process. This model, which is theoretically attractive for modelling inflation dynamics, has been used only to a limited extent to date owing to computational complications with the conventional multivariate maximum likelihood estimator, especially when the system is large. We propose the use of a method called "Moments Estimation Through Aggregation" (M.E.… Show more

“…In addition to the literatures discussed above on core and trend inflation, this work is related to three other large literatures. First, our modeling framework extends work estimating common factors of multiple inflation series, including Cristadoro, Forni, Reichlin, and Veronese (2005), Amstad and Simon M. Potter (2007), Altissimo, Mojon, and Zaffaroni (2009), Boivin, Giannoni, and Mihov (2009), Reis and Watson (2010), and Sbrana, Silvestrini, and Venditti (2015). Mumtaz and Surico (2012) introduce stochastic volatility and time-varying factor dynamics into a model of 13 international inflation rates.…”
