This paper develops high-frequency econometric methods to test for jumps in the spread of bond yields. We derive a coherent inference procedure that detects a jump in the yield spread only if at least one of the two underlying bonds displays a jump. We formalize the test as a sequential...

This paper studies high-frequency econometric methods to test for a jump in the spread of bond yields. We propose a coherent inference procedure that detects a jump in the yield spread only if at least one of the two underlying bonds displays a jump. Ignoring this inherent connection by basing...

We show that measures of inequality of opportunity (IOP) fully consistent with Roemer (1998)'s IOP theory can be …-Economic Panel. Our analysis shows that in Germany IOP declined immediately after reunification, increased in the first decade of the …

High nonresponse rates have become a rule in survey sampling. In panel surveys there occur additional sample losses due … to panel attrition, which are thought to worsen the bias resulting from initial nonresponse. However, under certain … conditions an initial wave nonresponse bias may vanish in later panel waves. We study such a "Fade away" of an initial …

The beta dispersion, which is the spread of betas on a stock market, can be interpreted as a measure of market vulnerability. This study examines the economic idea of the beta dispersion and its application as a market return predictor. Based on the empirical beta dispersion observed in the US...
