Using intraday data over the period December 2004 to March 2009, we find significant time-varying dependence between the UK and French stock returns, which alter according to the state...

We investigate the synchronization and nonlinear adjustment dynamics of short-term interest rates for France, the UK and the US using the bi-directional feedback measures proposed by Geweke (1982) and appropriate smooth transition error-correction models (STECM). We find evidence to support the...

This paper develops a new empirical measure of the S&P fundamental value under the rational expectation hypothesis. Thus, using the linearization of Campbell and Shiller (1988) and referring to the developments of Challe (2002), we extend the Dividend Discount Model (DDM) by introducing...

In this paper, we show the usefulness of the switching transition error correction model in reproducing the bilateral linkages between oil and stock markets over the last three decades. Our findings show that while linear models fail to apprehend significant relationships between oil and stock...
