Herwartz, Helmut; Weber, Henning - 2008
Microfoundations of the euro's effect on euro area trade hinge on the timing, the speed and the size of adjustment in … at the sector level. We find that, due to falling trade costs, trade within the euro area increases between the years … 2000 and 2003 by 10 to 20 percent compared with trade between European countries that are not members of the euro area …

Modeling the FIBOR/EURIBOR Swap Term Structure: An Empirical Approach
Blaskowitz, Oliver J.; Herwartz, Helmut; de Cadenas … - 2005
In this study we forecast the term structure of FIBOR/EURIBOR swap rates by means of recursive vector autoregressive (VAR) models. In advance, a principal components analysis (PCA) is adopted to reduce the dimensionality of the term structure. To evaluate ex?ante forecasting performance for...
