利用社交媒体数据对欧元区进行即时预测AI 解读

Using a state-of-the-art large language model, we extract forward-looking and context-sensitive signals related to inflation and unemployment in the euro area from millions of Reddit submissions and comments. We develop daily indicators that incorporate, in addition to posts, the social interaction among users. Our empirical results show consistent gains in out-of-sample nowcasting accuracy relative to daily newspaper sentiment and financial variables, especially in unusual…

利用混频动态因子模型即时预测欧洲地区经济活动AI 解读

Timely information about the state of regional economies can be essential for planning, implementing and evaluating locally targeted economic policies. However, European regional accounts for output are published at an annual frequency and with a two-year delay. To obtain robust and more timely measures in a computationally efficient manner, we propose a mixed-frequency dynamic factor model that accounts for national information to produce high-frequency estimates of the…

利用大规模调查预期序列预测欧元区通胀AI 解读

In this paper, we forecast euro area inflation and its main components using an econometric model which exploits a massive number of time series on survey expectations for the European Commission's Business and Consumer Survey. To make estimation of such a huge model tractable, we use recent advances in computational statistics to carry out posterior simulation and inference. Our findings suggest that the inclusion of a wide range of firms and consumers' opinions about…
