Abstract: Oil palm expansion in Indonesia is associated with a reduction in biodiversity and ecosystem services, as well as livelihood improvements for smallholder farmers. While this dichotomy highlights the importance of sustainable management options, empirical evidence on which policies are...

This paper analyzes the role of uncertainty in a multi-sector housing model with financial frictions. We include time varying uncertainty (i.e. risk shocks) in the technology shocks that affect housing production. The analysis demonstrates that risk shocks to the housing production sector are a...

comparison is the choice of the fastest method for the calibration of stochastic volatility models, e.g. Heston, Bates, Barndorff …-Nielsen-Shephard models or Levy models with stochastic time. We show that using additional cache technique makes the calibration with the … direct integration method at least seven times faster than the calibration with the fractional FFT method. …

The last years have witnessed a sharp increase of interest in monetary policy rules (see Taylor [1999]). This normative branch of monetary policy tries to evaluate the performance of alternative monetary policy rules in terms of associated monetary policy outcomes. Nevertheless this exercise is...

We consider 1927 borrowers from 54 countries who had a credit rating by both Moody's and S&P as of the end of 1998, and their subsequent default history up to the end of 2002. Viewing bond ratings as predicted probabilities of default, we show that it is unlikely that both agencies are well...

This paper proposes a novel strategy for depth video denoising in RGBD camera systems. Depth map sequences obtained by state-of-the-art Time-of-Flight sensors suffer from high temporal noise. Hence, all high-level RGB video renderings based on the accompanied depth maps' 3D geometry like...
