题目:Estimating macroeconomic uncertainty from surveys —a mixed frequency approach

摘要:We propose a new method of estimating economic uncertainty, using dispersion of forecasts of a wide range of financial, activity and inflation variables from both household and professional surveys at various frequencies. With a mixed-frequency state-space model, we construct ex-ante macroeconomic uncertainty estimates of the one-year ahead expected state of the economy. Impulse responses show uncertainty shocks lead to a contraction in economic activity, and monetary policy expansion reduces uncertainty, implying that endogenous uncertainty is an additional channel for countercyclical monetary policy.
