The stochastic volatility in mean model: empirical evidence from internationa...
In this paper we present an exact maximum likelihood treatment for the estimation of a Stochastic Volatility in Mean (SVM) model based on Monte Carlo simulation methods. The SVM... -
Testing the capital asset pricing model efficiently under elliptical symmetry...
We develop new tests of the capital asset pricing model that take account of and are valid under the assumption that the distribution generating returns is elliptically... -
Divergence in alternative Hicksian welfare measures: the case of revealed pre...
This paper investigates the divergence between the two Hicksian welfare measures of non-traded amenity improvement associated with housing. First, the Hicksian surplus measures... -
GO-GARCH: a multivariate generalized orthogonal GARCH model (replication data)
Multivariate GARCH specifications are typically determined by means of practical considerations such as the ease of estimation, which often results in a serious loss of... -
A theoretical comparison between integrated and realized volatility (replicat...
In this paper we provide both qualitative and quantitative measures of the precision of measuring integrated volatility by realized volatility for a fixed frequency of... -
Modelling and forecasting level shifts in absolute returns (replication data)
Due to high and low volatility periods, time series of absolute returns experience temporary level shifts which differ in length and size. In this paper we modify the basic... -
Bridging the gap between the distribution of realized (ECU) volatility and AR...
This paper bridges the gap between traditional ARCH modelling and recent advances on realized volatilities. Based on a ten-year sample of five-minute returns for the ECU basket... -
New frontiers for arch models (replication data)
In the 20 years following the publication of the ARCH model, there has been a vast quantity of research uncovering the properties of competing volatility models. Wide-ranging... -
Time irreversibility and EGARCH effects in US stock index returns (replicatio...
In this paper we suggest using a modified version of the time reversibility (TR) test of Chen, Chou and Kuan (2000) as a complementary diagnostic test for time series models.... -
Maximum likelihood estimation of STAR and STAR-GARCH models: theory and Monte...
Theoretical and practical interest in non-linear time series models, particularly regime switching models, have increased substantially in recent years. Given the abundant... -
Estimating quadratic variation using realized variance (replication data)
This paper looks at some recent work on estimating quadratic variation using realized variance (RV)?that is, sums of M squared returns. This econometrics has been motivated by... -
Detecting multiple breaks in financial market volatility dynamics (replicatio...
The paper evaluates the performance of several recently proposed tests for structural breaks in the conditional variance dynamics of asset returns. The tests apply to the class... -
Alcohol abuse and employment: a second look (replication data)
Based on data from the 1988 Alcohol Supplement of the National Health Interview Survey, Mullahy and Sindelar (1996) (M&S) find, for both men and women, that alcohol abuse... -
A flexible parametric selection model for non-normal data with application to...
I examine the effects of insurance status and managed care on hospitalization spells, and develop a new approach for sample selection problems in parametric duration models. MLE... -
Geographic poverty traps? A micro model of consumption growth in rural China ...
How important are neighbourhood endowments of physical and human capital in explaining diverging fortunes over time for otherwise identical households in a developing rural... -
Censored latent effects autoregression, with an application to US unemploymen...
A model is proposed to describe observed asymmetries in postwar unemployment time series data. We assume that recession periods, when unemployment increases rapidly, correspond... -
Socio-economic distance and spatial patterns in unemployment (replication data)
This paper examines the spatial patterns of unemployment in Chicago between 1980 and 1990. We study unemployment clustering with respect to different social and economic... -
Crack spread hedging: accounting for time-varying volatility spillovers in th...
Crude oil, heating oil, and unleaded gasoline futures contracts are simultaneously analysed for their effectiveness in reducing price volatility for an energy trader. A... -
A structural model of US aggregate job flows (replication data)
This paper contributes to the analysis of jobs flows dynamics through the explicit modelling of job creations and job destructions. We propose a simple matching model extended... -
Learning and communication in sender-receiver games: an econometric investiga...
This paper compares stimulus response (SR) and belief-based learning (BBL) using data from experiments with sender-receiver games. The environment, extensive form games played...
