TOOLS & DATA

Tools & data

Interactive forecasts, real-time data and model comparison.

MACROECONOMIC FORECASTING PLATFORM

One place to compare
different approaches.

The platform brings together 50 models and 25 years of US macroeconomic forecast evaluation, across forecast horizons and data scenarios.

Launch platform

MODEL FAMILIES

DSGE & Bayesian modelsTime series methodsMachine learningNeural networks & foundation models

REAL-TIME DATA

The information set
is part of the model.

My research uses an extended version of FRED-QD, with work on historical vintage coverage and missing-value imputation. The aim is to create forecasting inputs that account for the information available at each forecast origin.
