The paper offers a new explanation for the cause of the Great Inflation by constructing a model that explicitly … separates the roles of government and monetary policymakers. A mechanism that inflation can accelerate even if an inflation … target is low is uncovered. The model solves the puzzle of the observed high inflation target during the Great Inflation and …

This paper analyzes the robustness of the estimate of a positive productivity shock on hours to the presence of a possible unit root in hours. Estimations in levels or in first differences provide opposite conclusions. We rely on an agnostic procedure in which the researcher does not have to...

This paper discusses various ways of measuring the persistence or Long Memory (LM) of financial market risk in both its … available in various scientific disciplines to measure the LM persistence of time seies. It also discusses why Markov- and (G …)ARCH models cannot capture this LM, long term dependence or risk persistence, because these models have finite lag lengths, while …

Static time series models usually assume stationarity, normality, and independence for the increments of financial rates of return. This paper investigates the empirical characteristics of financial rates of return from Latin American stock and currency markets and documents that their empirical...
