The shadow rate as a predictor of real activity and inflation: Evidence from a data-rich environment

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper examines the predictive content of the shadow rates for U.S. real activity and inflation in a data-rich environment. We find that the shadow rates contain substantial out-of-sample predictive power for inflation in non-zero lower bound and zero lower bound periods. In contrast, the shadow rates are uninformative about future real activity.
