The worldwide Great Depression of the 1930s was a watershed for both economic thought and economic policymaking. It led to the belief that market economies are inherently unstable and to the revolutionary work of John Maynard Keynes. Its impact on popular economic wisdom is still apparent today.

Great Depressions of the Twentieth Century, which uses a common framework to study sixteen depressions, from the interwar period in Europe and America as well as from more recent times in Japan and Latin America, challenges the Keynesian theory of depressions. It develops and uses a methodology for studying depressions that relies on growth accounting and the general equilibrium growth model.

Each chapter of the book is accompanied by a data file that contains all of the data used in the analysis. This collection also provides links to computer programs for applying the methodology.

The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis is no longer maintaining a MF-VAR model. The June 3, 2016 forecast is the final update. Model documentation, files, and forecasts are available below.

The Minneapolis Mixed Frequency Vector Autoregression (MF-VAR) model of the U.S. economy is the most recent in a line of statistical forecasting models that began with research conducted at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota in the 1970s and early 1980s. Rising computer power led to resurgent interest in these models in the 1990s, which in turn brought about improvements along several dimensions. The current model reflects many of these advances. A noteworthy feature of the model is that it combines data measured at both monthly and quarterly frequencies so that forecasts reflect up-to-date monthly information as it becomes available. Please note that the forecasts produced by the MF-VAR model do not represent official forecasts of the Minneapolis Fed, its president, the Federal Reserve System, or the FOMC.
