Question
You can obtain prior vintages of forecast time series by several means.
Answer
We can supply prior vintages:
- Data Buffet offers limited forecast vintage retrieval functionality via the Basket module: for certain U.S. and global forecast products, for certain vintages. (New in June 2019.)
- Contact your Moody's Analytics sales representative to discuss a custom delivery.
You can plan ahead:
- Save a basket with the forecast series, execute each month, and save a local copy of the output file.
- Your most recent output files are stored on your Data Buffet account, under menu:Tools » My Files » Web Files.
At this time, there is no means to retrieve vintages through the Data Buffet API nor Moody's Analytics Power Tools for Microsoft Excel.
Background
Each month, Moody's Analytics spins its macroeconomic forecast model using the latest historical data and assumptions, and its dated output is called a vintage.
