Price Clustering in the FX Market: A Disaggregate Analysis using Central Bank Interventions

Fischer, Andreas - 2004

Price clustering is a well-documented regularity of foreign exchange transactions. In this paper, I present new … empirical evidence of price clustering for central bank interventions. A feature of the price clustering in Swiss National Bank … (SNB) transactions is market dependency. Evidence of clustering in the broker market is considerably smaller than in the …

A discrete choice model of dividend reinvestment plans: Classification and prediction

Boehm, Thomas P.; DeGennaro, Ramon P. - 2007

We study 852 companies with dividend reinvestment plans in 1999 matched by total assets to 852 companies without such plans. We use discrete choice methods to predict the classification of these companies. We interpret the misclassified companies as being likely to switch their plan status. That...

Is economics a house divided? Analysis of citation networks

Önder, Ali Sina; Terviö, Marko - 2013

We investigate divisions within the citation network in economics using citation data between 1990 and 2010. We consider all partitions of top institutions into two equal-sized clusters, and pick the one that minimizes cross-cluster citations. The strongest division is much stronger than could...

Investigating asymmetries in the bank lending channel. An analysis using Austrian banks' balance sheet data

Fruehwirth-Schnatter, Sylvia; Kaufmann, Sylvia - 2003

In the present paper we use a balanced bank panel data set to obtain an inference on two dimensions of the asymmetric response of bank lending to interest rate changes. The cross-sectional dimension is captured by group-specific parameters whereby each bank's group membership is estimated along...

Evaluating Ensemble Density Combination - Forecasting GDP and Inflation

Gerdrup, Karsten R.; Jore, Anne Sofie; Smith, Christie; … - 2009

Forecast combination has become popular in central banks as a means to improve forecasts and to alleviate the risk of selecting poor models. However, if a model suite is populated with many similar models, then the weight attached to other independent models may be lower than warranted by their...

Categorization and coordination

Daskalova, Vessela; Vriend, Nicolaas J. - 2014

The use of coarse categories is prevalent in various situations and has been linked to biased economic outcomes, ranging from discrimination against minorities to empirical anomalies in financial markets. In this paper we study economic rationales for categorizing coarsely. We think of the way...

Predictive inference for integrated volatility

Corradi, Valentina; Distaso, Walter; Swanson, Norman R. - 2011

In recent years, numerous volatility-based derivative products have been engineered. This has led to interest in constructing conditional predictive densities and confidence intervals for integrated volatility. In this paper, we propose nonparametric estimators of the aforementioned quantities,...

Predictive inference under model misspecification with an application to assessing the marginal predictive content of money for output

Armah, Nii Ayi; Swanson, Norman R. - 2011

In this chapter we discuss model selection and predictive accuracy tests in the context of parameter and model uncertainty under recursive and rolling estimation schemes. We begin by summarizing some recent theoretical findings, with particular emphasis on the construction of valid bootstrap...
