Persistence in the market risk premium : evidence across countries
Caporale, Guglielmo Maria; Gil-Alaña, Luis A.; … - 2020
This paper provides evidence on the degree of persistence of one of the key components of the CAPM, namely the market risk premium, as well as its volatility. The analysis applies fractional integration methods to data for the US, Germany and Japan, and for robustness purposes considers...

Accounting noise and the pricing of cocos
Derksen, Mike; Spreij, Peter; Wijnbergen, Sweder van - 2018
Contingent Convertible bonds (CoCos) are debt instruments that convert into equity or are written down in times of distress. Existing pricing models assume conversion triggers based on market prices and on the assumption that markets can always observe all relevant firm information. But all...

The effects of variance breaks on homogenous panel unit root tests
Herwartz, Helmut; Siedenburg, Florian - 2009
Noting that many economic variables display occasional shifts in their second order moments, we investigate the performance of homogenous panel unit root tests in the presence of permanent volatility shifts. It is shown that in this case, panel unit root tests derived under time invariant...

State dependence in the finance-growth nexus : a functional coefficient approach
Herwartz, Helmut; Yabibal Mulualem Walle - 2013
Noting that "one size does not fit all" in the case of the finance-growth (FG) nexus, a growing body of literature has recently focused on uncovering economic conditions under which financial development could be beneficial (detrimental) to economic development. We look into these conditions by...

A new approach to bootstrap inference in functional coefficient models
Herwartz, Helmut (contributor); Fang, Xu (contributor) - 2007
We introduce a new, factor based bootstrap approach which is robust under heteroskedastic error terms for inference in functional coefficient models. Modeling the functional coefficient parametrically, the bootstrap approximation of an F statistic is shown to hold asymptotically. In simulation...

Economic inequality : causes, consequences, and measurement issues : an empirical contribution
Scholl, Nathalie - 2016
(Un-)gleichheit und Gerechtigkeit waren schon immer Kernbestandteil eines jeden politischen Konzeptes, welches das Wohl der Menschen in den Mittelpunkt rückte. Die Idee der Gleichheit ist so alt wie die der Demokratie selbst und neben instrumentellen Gründen, aus denen man (Un-)gleichheit...

The effect of migration on income convergence : meta-analytic evidence
Ozgen, Ceren; Poot, Jacques; Nijkamp, Peter - 2009
Using meta-analytical techniques, we focus on 11 studies that explicitly measure the effect of a net migration variable in neoclassical convergence models and derive 57 comparable effect sizes. The data suggest that an increase in the net migration rate of one percentage point increases on...
