Descripción
Real-time judgment of current and future business cycle conditions is one of the mayor challenges monetary policy conduct faces. GDP Nowcasting has been increasingly taken into account by central banks as a measure of immediate perception of economic conditions. We conduct a pseudo-real-time one quarter ahead forecasting exercise of GDP growth using bridge equations. Comparing forecasting performance our results to the typical AR benchmark, we conclude that the Nowcasts is superior in almost 74% of the cases. Using the Giacomoni and White (2004) test, we also concude this dfferences are statistically significant.
Evaluar en tiempo real las condiciones económicas actuales y futuras es uno de los mayores retos a los que se enfrenta la política monetaria. El Nowcasting de actividad representa una potencial medida con la cual los bancos centrales pueden estudiar percepciones inmediatas de las condiciones económicas. Realizamos un pronóstico de crecimiento del PIB de un trimestre adelante en pseudo-tiempo real mediante bridge equations. Comparando la capacidad predictiva de nuestro ejercicio con un benchmark AR(1), concluimos que el Nowcast es superior en el 74% de los casos. Usando el test de Giacomini y Whte (2004), comprobamos que estas diferencias son significativas.
