This paper analyses the constant elasticity of volatility (CEV) model suggested by Chan et al. [K.C. Chan, G.A. Karolyi, F.A. Longstaff, A.B. Sanders, An empirical comparison of alternative models of the short-term interest rate, Journal of Finance 47 (1992) 1209–1227]. The CEV model without...

This paper considers testing for jumps in the exponential GARCH (EGARCH) models with Gaussian and Student-t innovations. The Wald and log likelihood ratio tests contain a nuisance parameter unidentified under the null hypothesis of no jumps, and hence are unavailable for this problem, because...

This paper proposes the Lagrange multiplier (LM) test, or the score test, for jumps in the stochastic volatility (SV) model in the cases where the innovation term follows the normal and Student t-distributions. The tested null hypothesis is that the jump density has zero variance, which is...

Box–Jenkins (1970) models are often used to capture the autoregressive moving average of past observations of tourist arrivals from Japan to Taiwan and New Zealand. However, other explanatory variables, such as real income in the origin country, have also affected the demand for international...

The Risk Premium and Cost-of-Carry models regarding the pricing of Australian dollar futures contracts traded on the International Monetary Market of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange are estimated and compared. Cointegrating relationships among the Australian dollar spot and futures prices, and...

There exist several important benchmark indexes in environmental finance, some computed by well-known financial index providers such as the Dow Jones group and others by independent agencies specializing in environmentally and socially responsible investing in finance. The construction of these...
