Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The last five years are characterized by the launch of great uncertainty in all aspects of human activity (see, COVID-19 pandemic & Ukrainian War). Particularly, the crucial area of macroeconomic forecasts (mainly GDP and/or its components), has faced significant difficulties concerning its accuracy. Due to the rapid social changes, the quarterly frequency macroeconomic variables do not contain the most recent information, which will quite possibly result in large final deviations from realized values. The purpose of this special issue will be to examine the role of financial variables - or other high frequency data- in macroeconomic forecasting, especially during periods of intense volatility. Overall, all topics related to Macroeconomic forecasting during volatile times are welcome.
Papers selected for this Special Issue were subject to a rigorous peer review procedure with the aim of rapid and wide dissemination of research results, developments and applications.
