Many of the jumps in exchange … rates are associated with macroeconomic and political news, but jumps in variance are not. Overall, jumps account for 25% of …

Some Contagion, Some Interdependence: More Pitfalls in Tests of Financial Contagion
Corsetti, Giancarlo; Pericoli, Marcello; Sbracia, Massimo - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2002
This Paper develops a test of contagion in financial markets based on bivariate correlation analysis, which generalizes existing tests, and applies it to the international effects of the Hong Kong stock market crisis of October 1997. Contagion is defined as a structural break in the...

Empirical Analysis of Limit Order Markets
Hollifield, Burton; Miller, Robert; Sandås, Patrik - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2001
We analyse order placement strategies in a limit order market, using data on the order flow from the Stockholm Stock Exchange. Traders submitting market or limit orders trade off the order price against both the execution probability and the winner’s curse risk associated with different order...

Inference Based on SVAR Identified with Sign and Zero Restrictions: Theory and Applications
Arias, Jonas E.; Rubio-Ramírez, Juan Francisco; … - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2014
Are optimism shocks an important source of business cycle fluctuations? Are deficit-financed tax cuts better than deficit-financed spending to increase output? These questions have been previously studied using SVARs identified with sign and zero restrictions and the answers have been positive...

Choosing the variables to estimate singular DSGE models
Canova, Fabio; Ferroni, Filippo; Matthes, Christian - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2013
We propose two methods to choose the variables to be used in the estimation of the structural parameters of a singular DSGE model. The first selects the vector of observables that optimizes parameter identification; the second the vector that minimizes the informational discrepancy between the...

Is Official Exchange Rate Intervention Effective?
Taylor, Mark P - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2003
I examine the effectiveness of exchange rate intervention within the context of a Markov-switching model for the real exchange rate. The probability of switching between stable and unstable regimes depends non-linearly upon the amount of intervention, the degree of misalignment and the duration...
