This paper adopts a nonlinear framework to model the deviations of the real exchange rate from its fundamental value implied by International Real Business Cycle models with complete asset markets. By focusing on the post Bretton Woods era, we find that in several cases there is a long run...

After a prolonged period characterized by rapid real appreciation in house prices, there is now broad recognition of the severe correction in housing markets that followed as one of the causes of the 2008-09 global recession. We investigate the time series characteristics of three relevant price...

This paper revisits the corner solution in classical portfolio choice theory in which risk-averse agents would all be optimally plungers rather than diversifiers. We examine the effect of higher-order moments of two-, three- and four-parameter density functions on the investor's decision to...

The probabilistic structure of periodically collapsing bubbles implies different values for the slope coefficient of alternative efficient market hypothesis tests depending on whether the bubble is in an explosive regime or not. We exploit this fact and propose a new method for bubble...

This paper examines the dynamics of the linkages between Shang- hai and Hong Kong stock indices. While the volatility linkage is anal- ysed by a multivariate GARCH framework, the linkage of returns is examined using a copula approach. Eight different copula functions are applied in this study...

Derivamos las condiciones para la elección óptima de cartera bajo una utilidad con aversión al riesgo relativo constante y distribuciones de probabilidad alternativas que son capaces de capturar las caraterísticas de asimetría y curtosis de los rendimientos de los activos financieros....

We exploit a rather neglected source of data, The Commercial and Financial Chronicle to shed light on the behaviour of daily and weekly exchange rates throughout several interwar hyperinflation episodes. The purpose of our analysis is three-fold: firstly, we investigate the consistency of...

Many mechanisms have been developed to deliver only relevant informationto the web users and prevent information overload. The most popularrecent developments in the e-cornmerce domain are the user-preference basedpersonalization and recommendation techniques. However, the existing...

This paper provides a framework of using news articles andeconomic data to model the exchange rate changes between Euro andUS dollars. Many studies have conducted on the approach of regressingexchange rate movement using numerical data such as macroeconomicindicators. However, this approach is...
