In this book, the authors reject the theorem-proof approach as much as possible, and emphasize the practical application of econometrics. They show with examples how to calculate and interpret the numerical results. This book begins with students estimating simple univariate models, in a step by...

Die empirische Kapitalmarktforschung beobachtet in den Volatilitäten von Aktienkursrenditen immer wieder eine lang anhaltende Abhängigkeitsstruktur, ein so genanntes langes Gedächtnis. Dieses hat weit reichende Konsequenzen. Beispielsweise verkompliziert ein tatsächlich vorliegendes langes...

This book gives an authoritative overview of the literature on non-stationarity, integration and unit roots, providing direction and guidance. It also provides detailed examples to show how the techniques can be applied in practical situations and the pitfalls to avoid.

Operationelle Risiken betreffen nahezu jede Geschäftstätigkeit von Banken. Sie verfügen über ein hohes Schadenspotential und stellen eine große Herausforderung für das Risikomanagement der Banken dar. Verena Bayer untersucht Ansätze zur Quantifizierung operationeller Risiken und der...

The author focuses on a method to price Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDO) tranches. The original method is developed by Castagna, Mercurio and Mosconi in 2012. The Thesis provides an extension of the original work by generalizing the Gaussian dependence in terms of Copula functions. In...

In this book Simona Roccioletti reviews several valuable studies about risk measures and their properties; in particular she studies the new (and heavily discussed) property of "Elicitability" of a risk measure. More important, she investigates the issue related to the backtesting of Expected...

This book proposes new methods of detecting causality among several dynamic variables and of estimating divisions of nominal income changes into changes in output and prices. Amano builds on established traditions of macro-dynamics and the theories of Keynes and Freidman, while providing...

This book examines conventional time series in the context of stationary data prior to a discussion of cointegration, with a focus on multivariate models. The authors provide a detailed and extensive study of impulse responses and forecasting in the stationary and non-stationary context,...
