A flexible approach to parametric inference in nonlinear and time varying time series models
Koop, Gary; Potter, Simon - HAL - 2010
Many structural break and regime-switching models have been used with macroeconomic and financial data. In this paper, we develop an extremely flexible modeling approach which can accommodate virtually any of these specifications. We build on earlier work showing the relationship between...

A Neural Network Demand System
Boelaert, Julien - HAL - 2013
We introduce a new type of demand system using a feedforward artificial neural network. The neural network demand … system is a flexible system that requires few hypotheses, has no roots in consumer theory but may be used to test it. We use … the system to estimate demand elasticities on micro data of household consumption in Canada between 2004 and 2008, and …

An exponential FISTAR model applied to the US real effective exchange rate
Boutahar, Mohamed; Mootamri, Imene; Peguin-Feissolle, Anne - HAL - 2007
The aim of this paper is to study the dynamics of the US real effective exchange rate by capturing nonlinearity and long memory features. In this context, we used the family of fractionally integrated STAR (FISTAR) models proposed by van Dijk, Franses and Paap (2002) to the case when the...

On the realized volatility of the ECX CO2 emissions 2008 futures contract: distribution, dynamics and forecasting
Chevallier, Julien; Sévi, Benoît - HAL - 2009
The recent implementation of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) in January 2005 created new financial risks for emitting firms. To deal with these risks, options are traded since October 2006. Because the EU ETS is a new market, the relevant underlying model for option pricing is still a...
