A large set of 5350 trend following technical trading rules is applied to LIFFE and CSCE cocoa futures prices, and to the Pound-Dollar exchange rate, in the period 1983:1 - 1997:6. We find that 72% of the trading rules generate positive profits, even when correcting for transaction and borrowing...

We estimate a dynamic asset pricing model characterized by heterogeneous boundedly rational agents. The fundamental value of the risky asset is publicly available to all agents, but they have different beliefs about the persistence of deviations of stock prices from the fundamental benchmark. An...

In a single-equation error correction model, two alternative formulations of a linear hypothesis on the long-run parameters and associated Wald test statistics are shown to arise from the covariance matrix estimator. A choice between the statistics is based on invariance properties and on lack...

To what extent can the bootstrap be applied to conditional mean models â€" such as regression or time series models â€" when the volatility of the innovations is random and possibly non-stationary? In fact, the volatility of many economic and financial time series displays persistent...
