We have not got

Short‐term forecasts of economic activity: Are fortnightly factors useful?

Journal of Forecasting, 2018
A short term mixed-frequency model is proposed to estimate and forecast the Italian economic activity fortnightly. Building on Frale et al. (2011), we introduce a dynamic factor model with three frequencies (quarterly, monthly and fortnightly), by ...
