Global forces drive r-star 📉
Morley @macromorley & Wong show global shocks drove most of the decline in r-star for 7 advanced open economies since the GFC, but local shocks still matter—leaving a role for tracking domestic r-stars.

The cutest part of the DNC:
Kamala Harris’ nieces teach America how to pronounce her first name as Kerry Washington helps.
I’m sure Trump will continue to disrespect her and say it wrong but oh well. We won’t have to deal with him much longer if you vote!

Thank you to @EnseaO for giving me the opportunity to give lectures on trend-cycle decomposition at the Africa Summer School in Econometrics. The group of PhD students from many countries provided brilliant questions and we had fun trying out new series in bnfiltering.com
Merci au Professeur #JAMES_MORLEY, Expert en Macroéconomie à l'@Sydney_Uni en Australie, pour ce riche partage d'expérience 👍👍👍

Sometimes trend-cycle decompositions are misspecified in the sense that assumed random walk trends display serial correlation in their estimates. In our new JBES article, Ben Wong, Brian TD Tran, and I propose a simple correction for this and estimate r* doi.org/10.1080/07350015.202…

If you want to conduct trend-cycle decomposition assuming a smooth trend and including Covid-era data, use the BN filter described in our new working paper ideas.repec.org/p/een/camaaa…, with online tool available at bnfiltering.com
In our working paper ideas.repec.org/p/een/camaaa…, we introduce some refinements to the BN filter that produce a smoother trend, but retain the strong reliability of the original BN filter in our 2018 REStat paper doi.org/10.1162/rest_a_00691
The bnfiltering.com website allows application of the BN filter to any time series using a FRED mnemonic or directly entered into the website. Fully adaptable Matlab or R code also available at sites.google.com/site/jamesc…
