detailed simulation study, we show that this simple and easy-to-use analytical bias formula compares very favorably to the more … standard but also more computer intensive bootstrap bias-correction method, both in terms of bias and mean squared error. Both …

bootstrap based procedure is used to compute empirical distributions of the trace test statistics for these individual models …

In a recent paper Cavaliere et al. (2012) develop bootstrap implementations of the (pseudo-) likelihood ratio [PLR] co …-integration rank test and associated sequential rank determination procedure of Johansen (1996). The bootstrap samples are constructed …. They propose methods based on an i.i.d. bootstrap re-sampling scheme and establish the validity of their proposed bootstrap …

The main contribution of this paper is to propose a new bootstrap method for statistics based on high frequency returns … contributions are as follows. First, we show that the local Gaussian bootstrap is firstorder consistent when used to estimate the … distributions of realized volatility and ealized betas. Second, we show that the local Gaussian bootstrap matches accurately the …

new tests are wild bootstrap implementations of score-based tests for the order of integration of a fractionally … in the presence of heteroskedasticity, but that the corresponding tests based on the wild bootstrap principle do. A Monte … Carlo simulation study demonstrates that very significant improvements infinite sample behaviour can be obtained by the …

realized volatility may not cover the optimal two-point distribution wild bootstrap proposed by Gonçalves and Meddahi (2009 …). Then, we propose a new optimal nonlattice distribution which ensures the second-order correctness of the bootstrap. Third …

Literature on convergence among Latin American countries is still scarce compared to other regions. Moreover, almost … none of the research connects convergence to the economic history of Latin America and the usual finding is one speed of … convergence. In this paper I analyze 32 countries and 108 years, more observations than any other study. This long span of data …
