IMF Working paper-News and Monetary Shocks at a High Frequency: A Simple Approach
September 12, 2014--Summary: We develop a simple approach to identify economic news and monetary shocks at a high frequency. The approach is used to examine financial market developments in the United States following the Federal Reserve's May 22, 2013 taper talk suggesting that it would begin winding down its quantitative easing program.
Our findings show that the sharp rise in 10-year Treasury bond yields immediately after the taper talk was largely due to monetary shock, with positive economic news becoming increasingly important in subsequent months.

CBO Expects Economic Growth to Pick Up in the Next Few Years
August 28, 2014--Yesterday CBO released its updated budget and economic outlook. To get a quick overview of our new economic forecast, view The Economic Outlook for 2014 to 2024 in 15 Slides.
As described in both the report and slides, CBO anticipates that, under the assumption that current laws governing federal taxes and spending generally remain in place, the economy will grow slowly this year, on balance, and then at a faster but still moderate pace over the next few years.
In the first half of this year, real (inflation-adjusted) gross domestic product (GDP) rose at an average annual rate of just 0.9 percent; but CBO expects a stronger second half, so for the year as a whole, the agency projects the rate of growth to be 1.5 percent, as measured by the change from the fourth quarter of 2013.
