ECB-BASE model

In my role within the forecasting and policy modelling division, I primarily focus on developing and applying the ECB-BASE and ECB-MC models, key semi-structural frameworks at the ECB. The ECB-BASE model incorporates explicit expectations to systematically explore the interactions among crucial macroeconomic factors, aiding in macroeconomic forecasting and policy simulations. The ECB-MC model, covering the five largest euro area economies, serves similar forecasting and policy analysis purposes,.

DOCUMENTATION

Working paper on the ECB-BASE is available in ECB-WP 2315.

RELATED WORK

ECB‑BASIR is an extension of the ECB-BASE model which addresses specific features of the COVID-19 crisis by combining a standard pandemic susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) model with a semi-structural large-scale macroeconomic model.
