Fractional integration and business cycle features

Candelon, Bertrand; Gil-Alaña, Luis A. - 2001

We show in this article that fractionally integrated univariate models for GDP may lead to a better replication of business cycle characteristics. We firstly show that the business cycle features are clearly affected by the degree of integration as well as by the other short run components of...

Heterogeneous time preferences and interest rates : the preferred habitat theory revisited

Riedel, Frank - 1999

Habitat Theory of Modigliani and Sutch, a model for intertemporal preferences accounting for preferred habitats is proposed …. In a heterogeneous world, preferred habitats can explain humps in the yield curve. Agents with a long habitat prefer long … term bonds to shorter instruments as the Preferred Habitat Theory predicts. …

Animal spirits, technology shocks and the business cycle

Weder, Mark - 1997

In this paper a two-sector growth model allowing indeterminacy to occur at relatively mild degrees of increasing returns is developed. It is shown that these economies of scale need only be present in one sector of the economy (investment). This feature of the model, therefore, builds on...

Most of the empirical studies dealing with international business cycles have disregarded the credibility issues that play an important role in the decision to join or not a monetary union. Most of empirical applications based on asymmetric shocks have failed to account for these aspects. In...

Lag selection in subset VAR models with an application to a US monetary system

Brüggemann, Ralf; Lütkepohl, Helmut - 2000

Alternative modeling strategies for specifying subset VAR models are considered. It is shown that under certain conditions a testing procedure based on t-ratios is equivalent to sequentially eliminating lags that lead to the largest improvement in a prespecified model selection criterion. A...
