We examine the scope for application of the matching … the matching approach is very appealing due to its methodological rigor and didactical clarity, we faced difficulties in … structural characteristics. Thus, results have to be interpreted with some caution. The matching approach nevertheless can be of …

Exchange rate bands of inaction and Play-Hysteresis in German exports : sectoral evidence for some OECD destinations
Belke, Ansgar; Goecke, Matthias; Günther, Martin - 2012
A non-linear model is applied where suddenly strong spurts of exports occur when changes of the exchange rate go beyond a zone of inaction. We call the latter a "play" area-analogous to mechanical play and implement an algorithm describing path-dependent play-hysteresis into a regression...

Effects of global liquidity on commodity and food prices
Belke, Ansgar; Bordon, Ingo G.; Volz, Ulrich - 2012
This paper investigates the relationship between global liquidity and commodity and food prices applying a global cointegrated vector-autoregressive model. We use different measures of global liquidity and various indices of commodity and food prices for the period 1980-2011. Our results support...

On interaction effects : the case of heckit and two-part models
Frondel, Manuel; Vance, Colin - 2012
Interaction effects capture the impact of one explanatory variable x1 on the marginal effect of another explanatory variable x2. To explore interaction effects, socalled interaction terms x1x2 are typically included in estimation specifications. While in linear models the effect of a marginal...

Gold as an inflation hedge in a time-varying coefficient framework
Beckmann, Joscha; Czudaj, Robert - 2012
This study analyzes the question whether gold provides the ability of hedging against inflation from a new perspective. Using data for four major economies, namely the USA, the UK, the Euro Area, and Japan, we allow for nonlinearity and discriminate between long-run and time-varying short-run...

Long-run trends or short-run fluctuations : what establishes the correlation between oil and food prices?
Krätschell, Karoline; Schmidt, Torsten - 2012
In this paper we use the frequency domain Granger causality test of Breitung/Candelon (2006) to analyse short- and long-run causality between energy prices and prices of food commodities. We find that the oil price Granger causes all the considered food prices. However, when controlling for...
