Modelling the Fisher hypothesis: World wide evidence

Herwartz, Helmut; Reimers, Hans-Eggert - 2006

In this paper we follow an empirical approach to examine the implications of the Fisher hypothesis, namely cointegration linking interest rates and inflation, and stationarity of the real interest rate implying in turn homogeneity of the potential equilibrium relation. The considered sample is...

A functional coefficient model view of the Feldstein-Horioka puzzle

Herwartz, Helmut; Xu, Fang - 2007

What does the saving-investment (SI) relation really measure and how should the (SI) relation be measured? These are two of the most discussed issues triggered by the so called Feldstein-Horioka puzzle. Based on panel data we introduce a new variant of functional coefficient models that allow to...

Exchange rate uncertainty and trade growth: a comparison of linear and nonlinear (forecasting) models

Herwartz, Helmut; Weber, Henning - 2007

A huge body of empirical and theoretical literature has emerged on the relationship between foreign exchange (FX) uncertainty and international trade. Empirical findings about the impact of FX uncertainty on trade figures are at best weak and often ambiguous with respect to its direction. Almost...

A note on the model selection risk for ANOVA based adaptive forecasting of the EURIBOR swap term structure

Blaskowitz, Oliver J.; Herwartz, Helmut - 2008

The paper proposes a data driven adaptive model selection strategy. The selection crite- rion measures economic exante forecasting content by means of trading implied cash flows. Empirical evidence suggests that the proposed strategy is neither exposed to selection bias nor to the risk of...

On economic evaluation of directional forecasts

Blaskowitz, Oliver J.; Herwartz, Helmut - 2009

It is commonly accepted that information is helpful if it can be exploited to improve a decision making process. In economics, decisions are often based on forecasts of up- or downward movements of the variable of interest. We point out that directional forecasts can provide a useful framework...

Semiparametric Approaches to the Prediction of Conditional Correlation Matrices in Finance

Herwartz, Helmut; Golosnoy, Vasyl - 2007

We consider the problem of ex-ante forecasting conditional correlation patterns using ultra high frequency data. Flexible semiparametric predictors referring to the class of dynamic panel and dynamic factor models are adopted for daily forecasts. The parsimonious set up of our approach allows to...

Estimating the technology of cognitive and noncognitive skill formation

Cunha, Flavio; Heckman, James J.; Schennach, Susanne M. - 2010

This paper formulates and estimates multistage production functions for children's cognitive and noncognitive skills. Skills are determined by parental environments and investments at different stages of childhood. We estimate the elasticity of substitution between investments in one period and...

Testing the correlated random coefficient model

Heckman, James J.; Schmierer, Daniel; Urzua, Sergio - 2010

The recent literature on instrumental variables (IV) features models in which agents sort into treatment status on the basis of gains from treatment as well as on baselinepretreatment levels. Components of the gains known to the agents and acted on by them may not be known by the observing...
