I revisit the Great Inflation and the Great Moderation. I document an immoderation in corporate balance sheet variables so that the Great Moderation is best described as a period of divergent patterns in volatilities for real, nominal and financial variables. A model with time-varying financial...

To attract retail time deposits, over 7,000 FDIC insured U.S. commercial banks publicly post their yield offers. I document an economically sizable and highly pro-cyclical cross-sectional dispersion in these yield offers during the period 1997 - 2011. Banks adjusted their yields rigidly and...

Cointegration requires all the variables in the system to have exact unit roots; accordingly it is conventional for … researchers to test for a unit root in each variable prior to a cointegration analysis. Unfortunately, these unit root tests are … not powerful. Meanwhile, conventional cointegration methods are not at all robust to slight violations of the requirement …

from eight developed and six emerging economies, we test the expectations hypothesis using cointegration methods under the … assumption that interest rates are near integrated. If the null hypothesis of no cointegration is rejected, we then test whether … support for cointegration in ten of the fourteen countries we consider, and the cointegrating vector is similar across …

We derive a definition of linear cointegration for nonlinear stochastic processes using a martingale representation … assumption of linearity. We propose a sequential nonparametric method to test first for cointegration and second for nonlinear …

In this paper, we document that mortgage-backed securities (MBS) held by the Federal Reserve exhibit faster principal prepayment rates than MBS held by the rest of the market. Next, we show that this stylized fact persists even when controlling for factors that affect prepayment behavior, and...
