After controversial public debates, fuel price regulations were implemented in Austria prohibiting fuel retailers from raising their prices more than once per day. This paper investigates whether these policy measures affected the price transmission dynamics from crude oil prices to retail fuel...

This paper introduces a new type of nonlinear model, the min-max model, and analyzes the properties for a pair of series. Stability conditions of this system are given for the nonlinearly integrated bivariate series. Under these stability conditions, the difference of the two series has a...

Summary Nonlinear dynamics in the term structure of German interest rates resulting from heterogenous transaction costs in the money market are analysed by means of the smooth transition technique introduced by Granger and Teräsvirta (1993). Tests for linearity, specific functional forms and...
