This article examines food price volatility in Greece and how it is affected by short-run deviations between food prices and macroeconomic factors. The methodology follows the GARCH and GARCH-X models. The results show that there exists a positive effect between the deviations and food price...

This article analyses the dynamic effects of specific macroeconomic variables, for example housing loan rates, inflation, employment and money supply, on the price of new houses sold in Greece. An error correction vector autoregressive (ECVAR) model is used in modelling the impact of the above...

This paper investigates volatility spillover effects between relative food prices and explicit macroeconomic fundamentals, i.e. exchange rates, money balances, inflation, and the deficit to income ratio, through the methodology of GARCH models. The findings showed that significant and positive...

This paper examines the process of relative food price volatility and investigates how short-run deviations from the relationship between relative food prices and particular macroeconomic fundamentals affect this volatility for the case of Greece. The methodology followed in this paper to...

The goal of this paper is to examine the impact of exchnage rate uncertainty on foreign direct investment (FDI) flows from European Union (EU) countries (the source countries) into Greece (the host country). Measuring exchange rate uncertainty through the ARCH methodology, the empirical results...

The purpose of this paper is fourfold: first to empirically investigate the cost structure of the Greek banking sector, second to provide measures of economies (diseconomies) of scale, third to quantify technical change and its sources, and fourth to measure total factor productivity growth and...

This article investigates the behavior of agricultural input prices, agricultural output prices, and retail food prices using the cointegration0error-correction methodology. The findings support quot;cost pushquot; and quot;demand pullquot; theories, because disequilibrium at the input level is...

The goal of this study is to measure X-efficiency of the banking industry in Greece, through the methodology of a stochastic frontier. The empirical results show that Greek banks are characterized by a significant inefficiency measure, running up to virtually 29%, even following substantial...

We investigate cross-market volatility spillover effects across New York and London foreign exchange and equity markets. By using several daily data-sets, each relating to a different time of the day, and the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity approach, the empirical...

This paper investigates volatility spillover effects across agricultural input prices, agricultural output prices and retail food prices using the technique of Generalised Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedastic (GARCH) models. The empirical findings show that the volatility of both...
