They include a set of Phillips curvetype of trend inflation models, a set of time-varying parametersvector autoregressive (TVP-VARs) models, and a set of state-spacemodels.
A set ofmodels (for a total of about 200,000 models) which differaccording to several dimensions (different non-linearities, modelsassuming unanchored long-run inflation expectations, differentmeasures of slack, different lag structure, etc.). The output of the“thick modelling approach” is a distribution of point forecasts usedto evaluate the risks around the baseline forecast.
(as in Detmeister et al. (2014)) toforecast core PCE price inflation.
to identifyidiosyncratic shocks on monthly PCE (and CPI) price inflationreadings (as in Luciani (2020)). This model complements theevidence of the Dallas FED Trimmed mean and provides usefulinformation about the near-term time-varying mean of core PCEprice inflation.
(as in Ahnand Fulton (2020)). The model can be used to extract a singlesignal from all measures of inflation expectations. This evidenceprovides a base (together with the models of trend inflation) to setand revise the level of underlying inflation.
Theoutput is a synthetic indicator of the common factor acrossmeasures of wage growth.
