good on the present set of measures as the stochastic volatility models, with or without dynamic correlation. …The focus of this article is using dynamic correlation models for the calculation of minimum variance hedge ratios …. Modelling the correlation explicitly is shown to produce the best hedges when applied to the simulated data. For financial time …

The proposed estimation approach pairs intuitive appeal with computational … efficiency. We evaluate various alternative estimation methods in an application example and conclude that the proposed approach …

This paper contributes to the productivity literature by using results from firm-level productivity studies to improve forecasts of macro-level productivity growth. The paper employs current research methods on estimating firm-level productivity to build times-series components that capture the...

We propose a new approach to the modelling of the term structure of interest rates. We consider the general dynamic factor model and show how to impose smoothness restrictions on the factor loadings. We further present a statistical procedure based on Wald tests that can be used to find a...

This article presents a bifurcation theory of smooth stochastic dynamical systems that are governed by everywhere … of the system. By introducing a weak equivalence notion of these dependence ratios, we arrive at a bifurcation theory for … which in the compact case, the set of stable (non-bifurcating) systems is open and dense. The theory is illustrated with …
