The Measurement and Behavior of Uncertainty: Evidence from the ECB Survey of Professional Forecasters [PDF]
We use matched point and density forecasts of output growth and inflation from the ECB Survey of Professional Forecasters to derive measures of forecast uncertainty, forecast dispersion, and forecast accuracy. We construct uncertainty measures from aggregate density functions as well as from individual histograms.
