Empirical working paper with policy implications using deliverable 2.1Using the new dataset (deliverable 2.1), this sub-task aims to empirically assess, through panel data analysis, whether and how the degree of uncertainty in forecasts is related to the business cycle and, in particular, if forecasts tend to be less reliable around turning points of the cycle, which is when accuracy would be most relevant.

Working paper on the MIP ScoreboardThe paper performs an in-depth ex-post analysis of the appropriateness of the indicators included in the MIP Scoreboard. We ask whether this system would have been able to effectively identify the potential macroeconomic imbalances if it had been applied before the financial crisis. The ex-post evaluation will include in some cases recalculation of the MIP Scoreboard which covers external imbalances, internal imbalances and competitiveness. The statistical analysis will cover each of the 28 member states. Programme: H2020-EU.3.6. - Topic(s): EURO-1-2014 |
