In this paper we evaluate the role of a set of variables as leading indicators for Euro-area inflation and GDP growth. Our leading indicators are taken from the variables in the ECB Euro-area-wide model database, plus a set of similar variables for the US. We compare the forecasting performance of each indicator ex-post with that of purely autoregressive models. We also analyze three different approaches to combining the information from several indicators.

Abstract

In this paper we evaluate the role of a set of variables as leading indicators for Euro-area inflation and GDP growth. Our leading indicators are taken from the variables in the ECB Euro-area-wide model database, plus a set of similar variables for the US. We compare the forecasting performance of each indicator ex-post with that of purely autoregressive models. We also analyze three different approaches to combining the information from several indicators.
