Forecasting unemployment rate in Poland with dynamic model averaging and internet searches
by Krzysztof Drachal
Global Business and Economics Review (GBER), Vol. 23, No. 4, 2020

Abstract: The aim of this research is to estimate dynamic model averaging (DMA) model for unemployment rate in Poland. One can find multiple potential factors influencing unemployment rate. They can be significantly affecting unemployment rate only in certain periods. Therefore, a method incorporating time-varying parameters as well as the model uncertainty itself seems desirable. Additional aim of this research is to incorporate the Google search data into the econometric model. In this research, DMA is not able to significantly beat ARIMA model in case of forecast accuracy. Despite DMA success in other fields, for unemployment forecasting, this method seems vulnerable.
