Is There a Correlation between Religion and Wife Beating? An Empirical Study of 11 Countries

McGee, Robert W. - 2017

Wife beating, spousal abuse, domestic violence, or whatever else you want to call it, has been around for centuries, probably since the beginning of human existence. There are several reasons why this kind of behavior exists, but the present paper will not get into those reasons. For more on...

Dynamic factor models with clustered loadings : forecasting education flows using unemployment data

Blasques, Francisco; Hoogerkamp, Meindert Heres; … - 2020

We propose a dynamic factor model which we use to analyze the relationship between education participation and national … unemployment, as well as to forecast the number of students across the many different types of education. By clustering the factor … loadings associated with the dynamic macroeconomic factor, we can measure to what extent the different types of education …

Realized Wishart-GARCH : a score-driven multi-Asset volatility model

Hansen, Peter Reinhard; Janus, Paweł; Koopman, Siem Jan - 2016

We propose a novel multivariate GARCH model that incorporates realized measures for the variance matrix of returns. The key novelty is the joint formulation of a multivariate dynamic model for outer-products of returns, realized variances and realized covariances. The updating of the variance...

Long memory modelling of inflation with stochastic variance and structural breaks

Bos, Charles S.; Koopman, Siem Jan; Ooms, Marius - 2007

We investigate changes in the time series characteristics of postwar U.S. inflation. In a model-based analysis the conditional mean of inflation is specified by a long memory autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average process and the conditional variance is modelled by a stochastic...

Analyzing the term structure of interest rates using the dynamic Nelson-Siegel model with time-varying parameters

Koopman, Siem Jan; Mallee, Max I. P.; Wel, Michel van der - 2007

In this discussion paper we introduce time-varying parameters in the dynamic Nelson–Siegel yield curve model for the simultaneous analysis and forecasting of interest rates of different maturities. The Nelson–Siegel model has been recently reformulated as a dynamic factor model with vector...

The effect of the great moderation on the US business cycle in a time-varying multivariate trend-cycle model

Creal, Drew; Koopman, Siem Jan; Zivot, Eric - 2008

In this paper we investigate whether the dynamic properties of the U.S. business cycle have changed in the last fifty years. For this purpose we develop a flexible business cycle indicator that is constructed from a moderate set of macroeconomic time series. The coincident economic indicator is...
