Blasques, Francisco; Koopman, Siem Jan; Mallee, Max I. P. - 2014

The multivariate analysis of a panel of economic and financial time series with mixed frequencies is a challenging problem. The standard solution is to analyze the mix of monthly and quarterly time series jointly by means of a multivariate dynamic model with a monthly time index: artificial...

Emerging and developing economies : ten years after the global recession

Kose, M. Ayhan; Ohnsorge, Franziska - 2020

Although emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) weathered the global recession a decade ago relatively well, they now appear less well placed to cope with the substantial downside risks facing the global economy. In many EMDEs, the room for monetary and fiscal policies to respond to...

On the solvency of nations : cross-country evidence on the dynamics of external adjustment

Durdu, Ceyhun Bora; Mendoza, Enrique G.; Terrones, Marco E. - 2012

We test the hypothesis that net foreign asset positions are consistent with external solvency and examine the dynamics of external adjustment using data for 50 countries over the 1970-2006 period. Our analysis adapts Bohn's (2007) error-correction reaction function approach - which tests for a...

Spillover dynamics for systemic risk measurement using spatial financial time series models

Blasques, Francisco; Koopman, Siem Jan; Lucas, André; … - 2014

We introduce a new model for time-varying spatial dependence. The model extends the well-known static spatial lag model. All parameters can be estimated conveniently by maximum likelihood. We establish the theoretical properties of the model and show that the maximum likelihood estimator for the...

Asset market linkages in crisis periods

Hartmann, Philipp; Straetmans, Stefan; Vries, Casper G. de - 2001

We characterize asset return linkages during periods of stress by an extremal dependence measure. Contrary to correlation analysis, this nonparametric measure is not predisposed toward the normal distribution and can allow for nonlinear relationships. Our estimates for the G-5 countries suggest...
