Modelling the Phillips curve with unobserved components [PDF]
The relationship between inflation and the output gap can be modelled simply and effectively by including an unobserved random walk component in the model. The dynamic properties match the stylized facts and the random walk component satisfies the properties normally required for core inflation.

Seasonality with Trend and Cycle Interactions in Unobserved Components Models [PDF]
SummaryUnobserved components time series models decompose a time series into a trend, a season, a cycle, an irregular disturbance and possibly other components. These models have been successfully applied to many economic time series. The standard assumption of a linear model, which is often appropriate after a logarithmic transformation of the data ...

Output Fluctuations in the G-7: An Unobserved Components Approach [PDF]
This paper proposes a multivariate unobserved-components model to simultaneously decompose the real GDP for each of the G-7 countries into its respective trend and cycle components. In contrast to previous literature, our model allows for explicit correlation between all the contemporaneous trend and cycle shocks.

Unemployment and Hysteresis: A Nonlinear Unobserved Components Approach [PDF]
A new test for hysteresis based on a nonlinear unobserved components model is proposed. Observed unemployment rates are decomposed into a natural rate component and a cyclical component. Threshold type nonlinearities are introduced by allowing past cyclical unemployment to have a different impact on the natural rate depending on the regime of the ...

Total factor productivity: an unobserved components approach [PDF]
This work examines the presence of unobserved components in the time-series of total factor productivity (TFP), which is an idea central to modern Macroeconomics. The main approaches in both the study of economic growth and the study of business cycles rely on certain properties of the different components of the time-series of TFP.

Economic Growth, Business Cycles and Okun’s Law: Unobserved Components Approach [PDF]
Clark’s (1989) bivariate unobserved components model is applied in order to estimate and analyse the trend and cycle of GDP and the unemployment rate as well as to quantify and discuss the relationship known as Okun’s law. Empirical analysis is performed

Unobserved components with stochastic volatility: Simulation‐based estimation and signal extraction [PDF]
SummaryThe unobserved components time series model with stochastic volatility has gained much interest in econometrics, especially for the purpose of modelling and forecasting inflation. We present a feasible simulated maximum likelihood method for parameter estimation from a classical perspective.

Testing for hysteresis in unemployment an unobserved components approach [PDF]
We suggest a new test for hysteresis in unemployment based on an unobserved components model. Observed unemployment rates are decomposed into a natural rate component and a cyclical component. The impact of lagged cyclical shocks on the current natural component is the measure of hysteresis.

Maximum likelihood estimates of some probability model of discrete distributions
In this work the new multivariate discrete probability model of distribution of random sums with unobserved components is proposed.The maximum likelihood estimates for this model are determined in the case that all the elements of the sample ...
