What's New?
March 22, 2023 Updated working paper (and title) A simple correction for misspecification in trend-cycle decompositions with an application to estimating r*. The updated version now pays more careful attention to how to apply the correction using a simple ARMA model, and how the correction accounts for things like measurement error and/or model misspecification. If you are interested, I will be presenting the paper at the Virtual Time Series Seminar next week (30 March). Registration link here.
