Cet article propose un réexamen de la spécification de la fonction de demande de monnaie de la zone euro. En effet, les spécifications traditionnelles conduisent à des résultats parfois peu satisfaisants : instabilité des coefficient de court et long termes ; écarts relativement...

In recent years, the dynamics of M3 in the euro area have been driven by two factors: a strong preference for liquidity, observed between 2001 and 2003, followed by a normalisation, at a relatively moderate pace, of portfolio behaviour; as regards the counterparts, changes in M3 and net external...

L'objectif est de spécifier la nature des comportements saisonniers de la demande de séjours touristiques en Tunisie en utilisant les outils récents d'analyse des séries temporelles mensuelles. Les séries disponibles (dépenses touristiques, prix, revenus, nombre de nuitées, capacités...

In a Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance (CPPI) framework, a constant risk exposure is defined by the multiple of the strategy. This article proposes an alternative conditional multiple estimation model, which is based on an autoregressive quantile regression dynamic approach. We estimate...

We consider the problem of testing whether the observations X1, · · ·, Xn of a time series are independent with unspecified (possibly nonidentical) distributions symmetric about a common known median. Various bounds on the distributions of serial correlation coefficients are proposed:...

In this paper, we develop finite-sample inference procedures for stationary and nonstationary autoregressive (AR) models. The method is based on special properties of Markov processes and a split-sample technique. The results on Markovian processes (intercalary independence and truncation) only...

Statistical tests in vector autoregressive (VAR) models are typically based on large-sample approximations, involving the use of asymptotic distributions or bootstrap techniques. After documenting that such methods can be very misleading even with fairly large samples, especially when the number...

We propose methods for testing hypothesis of non-causality at various horizons, as defined in Dufour and Renault (1998, Econometrica). We study in detail the case of VAR models and we propose linear methods based on running vector autoregressions at different horizons. While the hypotheses...

En estimation bayésienne, lorsque le calcul explicite de la loi a posteriori du vecteur des paramètres à estimer est impossible, les méthodes de Monte-Carlo par chaînes de Markov (MCMC) [Robert and Casella, 1999] permettent théoriquement de fournir un échantillon approximativement...
