The empirical determinants of the Euro : short and long run perspectives
Chinn, Menzie David - 2000
The behavior of the dollar/euro exchange rate is modeled using a monetary model of the exchange rate. The econometric analysis is complicated by the short sample span of actual euro data available for analysis. Hence, data on a "synthetic" euro are used. The assumptions underlying the monetary...

Fractional cointegration and real exchange rates
Caporale, Guglielmo Maria; Gil-Alaña, Luis A. - 2000
This paper uses fractional integration and cointegration in order to model the DM/dollar and the yen/dollar real exchange rates in terms of both monetary and real factors, more specifically real interest rate and labour productivity differentials. We find that whilst the individual series may be...

Testing the purchasing power parity in pooled systems of error correction models
Herwartz, Helmut; Reimers, Hans-Eggert - 2000
In this paper we test the purchasing power parity for the post Bretton Woods period for 18 main industrial countries. As base currencies we use alternatively the Deutsche mark, the Japanese yen, and the US dollar. We employ error correction models for single countries and on the level of pooled...

Optimal consumption choice for ratchet investors
Riedel, Frank - 2001
The utility maximization problem of "ratchet investors" who do not tolerate any decline in their consumption rate is solved explicitly for all felicity functions in a Markovian framework which includes Brownian motion and Poisson processes as special cases. The optimal consumption plan turns out...

Internet based econometric computing
Härdle, Wolfgang; Horowitz, Joel - 1998
Modern econometrics requires implementation of highly specialized software. In contrast to mathematical arguments used in implementing new econometric techniques the corresponding software algorithms require specific platforms. The specialization of hardware and software, in fact, seriously...

Quantile-VaR is the wrong measure to quantify market risk for regulatory purposes
Jaschke, Stefan R. - 2001
Starting from the objective of banking supervision - to minimize the overall costs of banking to the general public - we show that the current standard of quantifying market risk is flawed. It is perfectly aligned with the interests of banks' shareholders and management, but not with the...
