Economic period & freshness

Calculation uses the latest completed observation available at evaluation time, with its actual economic period and original availability. An older period contributes to assessment only within the configured source-age limit. Newly observed missing or invalid evidence is not replaced with an earlier value. Source status uses economic-age thresholds, not a release calendar; no future release time is inferred.

THE PUBLISHED TRANSFORM

What this value measures

Excess Bond Premium

Output the latest original published reading for its native economic period.

The EBP is the part of the GZ corporate spread not explained by modeled expected defaults; it is a model-dependent measure of credit risk appetite. This is staff research, not an official statistical release; updates can be delayed and the entire history revised. The published research-model recession probability remains in the original file only. It is not an ECO I crash probability. EBP and corporate spreads overlap OFR credit inputs. They add explanation, not independent votes or validated severity thresholds.
