El problema al final de la muestra en la estimación del PIB potencial

No DTE 442, Working Papers from CIDE, División de Economía

Abstract: This paper evaluates to what extent the end-of-sample problem inherent to the Hodrick-Prescott (HP) filter may be ameliorated when estimating the trend component of GDP. For that purpose, the filter of St-Amant and van Norden (1997) is proposed using Mexican data and both univariate and multivariate methods. The trend component of GDP is also estimated with a linear trend method. On average, the results suggest that both the univariate method of St-Amant and van Norden and the linear trend method may significantly decrease the end-of-sample problem of the HP filter.
