Abstract This paper introduces the rescaled representation of VAR models (R-VARs) and demonstrates its application in forecasting mixed-frequency macroeconomic data. We develop the model, illustrate how to implement it, and derive the asymptotic properties of the estimates. We show that R-VARs provide reliable estimates of the prediction error bands while maintaining the precision of the point forecasts. We illustrate these features by comparing it to a mixed-frequency Bayesian VAR model, the leading alternative in the existing literature.

We propose a nowcasting system to obtain real-time predictive intervals for the first-release of UK quarterly GDP growth that can be implemented in a menu-driven econometric software. We design a bottom-up approach: forecasts for GDP components (from the output and the expenditure approaches) are inputs into the computation of probabilistic forecasts for GDP growth. For each GDP component considered, mixed-data-sampling regressions are applied to extract predictive content from monthly and quarterly indicators. We find that predictions from the nowcasting system are accurate, in particular when nowcasts are computed using monthly indicators 30 days before the GDP release. The system is also able to provide well-calibrated predictive intervals.
