Financial and monetary variables have long been known to contain useful leading information regarding economic activity. In this paper, the authors wish to determine whether the forecasting performance of such variables can be improved using neural network models. The main findings are that, at the 1-quarter forecasting horizon, neural networks yield no significant forecast improvements.

We have just witnessed the dawn of a new era in Europe. Beginning this month, 11 of the 15 member countries of the European Union have joined in a currency union. And they are using the euro as their common currency. The currency union is yet another step on the road to greater economic, social, and political integration in Europe - a vision some 50 years in the making.1999-01-20T09:17:38+00:00The euro: Its economic implications and its lessons for Canada1999-01-20Gordon ThiessenBank of Canada Governor Addresses Canadian Club of Ottawa

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/1999/01/working-paper-1999-2/
Inflation distorts an economy through many channels. This paper highlights the interaction between inflation and capital gains tax and how they distort an economy through the financial market. Several observations motivate this research. First, capital formation or investment is an important channel for economic agents to smooth their consumption over their life cycles. Second, capital […]1999-01-14T11:30:06+00:00enCapital Gains and Inflation Taxes in a Life-cycle Model1999-01-14Inflation: costs and benefitsCharles LeungGuang-Jia ZhangJanuary 1999EE5E6Dynamic Employment and Hours Effects of Government Spending Shocks
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/1999/01/working-paper-1999-1/
In this paper, we analyze the dynamic behaviour of employment and hours worked per worker in a stochastic general equilibrium model with a matching mechanism between vacancies and unemployed workers. The model is estimated for the United States using the Generalized Methods of Moments (GMM) estimation technique. An increase in government spending raises hours worked […]1999-01-11T11:12:01+00:00enDynamic Employment and Hours Effects of Government Spending Shocks1999-01-11Fiscal policyLabour marketsMingwei YuanWenli LiJanuary 1999EE2E24E3E32E6E62JJ6J64
