Can we use nowcasting models to assess the impact of macro policy quantitatively? Given our assumptions about future oil prices, world gdp growth, or financial condition indicators what would the output growth in an economy look like? how can we quantitatively ground our policy recommendations? This project answers these questions by bringing together advanced big data analysis methods and economic policy design. By using a large database and deploying various econometrics models, I study dynamic interplay of macrofinancial factors and their impact on the real aggregates. The models are tailored to Russia data to showcase few policy design counterfactual and nowcast.
