A New Approach to Measuring Financial Contagion

Bae, Kee-Hong - 2000

This paper proposes a new approach to evaluate contagion in financial markets. Our measure of contagion captures the co-incidence of extreme return shocks across countries within a region and across regions that cannot be explained by linear propagation models of shocks. We characterize the...

Estimating the Impact of Climate Change on Crop Yields : The Importance of Nonlinear Temperature Effects

Schlenker, Wolfram - 2008

The United States produces 41% of the world's corn and 38% of the world's soybeans, so any impact on US crop yields will have implications for world food supply. We pair a panel of county-level crop yields in the US with a fine-scale weather data set that incorporates the whole distribution of...

Food for Thought : Comparing Estimates of Food Availability in England and Wales, 1700-1914

Harris, Bernard - 2014

In The Changing Body (Cambridge University Press and NBER, 2011), the authors presented a series of estimates showing the number of calories available for human consumption in England and Wales at various points in time between 1700 and 1909/13. The current paper corrects an error in those...

A Flexible Model of Food Security : Estimation and Implications for Prediction

Davis, Will; Xilau, Jose O.; Tchernis, Rusty; Gregory, … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

We propose a novel Bayesian Graded Response Model (BGRM) for food security measurement. Our BGRM has several attractive features. It produces continuous food security estimates and measures of estimation uncertainty at the household level. Unlike the USDA's official measurement model, the BGRM...

Response of stock markets to monetary policy : an Asian stock market perspective

Yoshino, Naoyuki; Taghizadeh-Hesary, Farhad; … - 2014

We estimate the response of Asian stock market prices to exogenous monetary policy shocks using a vector error correction model. In our paper, monetary policy transmits to stock market price through three routes: money by itself, exchange rate, and inflation. Our result points to the fact that...

Identification through Heteroskedasticity : Measuring "Contagion

Rigobon, Roberto - 2000

In this paper, I develop a new identification method to solve the problem of simultaneous equations, based on heteroskedasticity of the structural shocks. I show that if the heteroskedasticity can be described as a two-regime process, then the system is just identified under relatively weak...
