The purpose of this paper is to formulate procedures for the analysis of the time series behaviour of micro panel data subject to censoring. We assume an autoregressive model with random effects for a latent variable which is only partly observed due to a selection mechanism. Our methods are...

This paper tests a traditional model of asset pricing, the CCAPM (Consumption Capital Asset Pricing Model), using data from the Spanish stock market. A generalized calibration method is used to test this model. This method allows us to judge the degree of correspondance between the population...

This paper considers a model of firms' financing based on the existence of a moral hazard problem in the choice of investment projects by a heterogeneous population of entrepreneurs. Two alternative ways of funding these projects, called unmonitored (or market) and monitored (or bank) lending,...

We investigate several important inference issues for factor models with dynamic heteroskedasticity in the common … factors. First, we show that such models are identified if we take into account the time-variation in the variances of the … factors. Our results also apply to dynamic versions of the APT, dynamic factor models, and vector autoregressions. Secondly …

In an economy with one riskless and one risky asset, we compare the Sharpe ratios of investment funds that allow: i) timing strategies which forecast the market using simple regressions; ii) a strategy which uses multiple regression instead; and iii) a passive allocation which combines the funds in...

This paper analyzes the relationship between age-specific fertility, mortality and real wages in Sweden during the demographic transition. We take an overlapping generations model of life cycle fertility and fit it to actual Swedish time-series data over the past two and a half centuries. The...
