30th IIF Workshop: New Directions for Inflation Forecasting – Paris, France – 16-17 December 2021
The analysis of inflation dynamics and their possible changes over time is a key input in the design of monetary policy. Until recently, the Phillips curve was a corner stone of most business cycles analysis. Yet, since a decade or even more, inflation seems disconnected from the business cycles both in mean and variance. This 1.5-day international workshop aims at bringing together experts of the field, both academics and from international institutions, exploring new determinants of inflation forecasts and their distribution, as well as non-linear, non-causal or time-varying aspects of inflation forecasting models.
Organizers: Frédérique Bec (Cergy Paris University); Dick van Dijk (Erasmus University Rotterdam); Laurent Ferrara (SKEMA Business School)
29th IIF Workshop: Foreacting in a changing environment – Madrid, Spain – 9-10 December 2021
Economic forecasting covers a wide range of topics and subfields: nowcasting the state of the economy, financial forecasting, marketing, etc., just to mention a few. Models and techniques are diverse, ranging from small scale models to big data analytics. On top of that, the COVID-19 pandemic has provoked the most severe recession observed since the XX century. The changing pattern in the dynamic dependence of many time series has consequences in the pre-processing of the data as, for instance, in outlier detection and deseasonalizing, as well as in the models and procedures used to forecasting. All in all, forecasting economic time series nowadays is a complicated task. This workshop brings together a group of renowned scholars and analysts with the aim of sharing their forecasting experiences in these turbulent times.
