Abstract
⺠We evaluate GDP nowcasts using five models for ten Latin American countries. ⺠Results highlight the importance of exploiting the flow of monthly data releases. ⺠The dynamic factor model consistently produces more accurate results. ⺠External indicators are useful in improving forecast accuracy.
