Fiscal policy, trigger points and interest rates: Additional evidence from the U.S.

Reitschuler, Gerhard; Sendlhofer, Rupert - 2011

We empirically investigate whether the relationship between interest rates and public deficits/debt may be nonlinear for the U.S. Using threshold estimation, we find evidence of level-dependent effects on interest rates, implying a significant effect of projected deficits and debt in the U.S....

Regime-dependent commodity price dynamics: A predictive analysis

Crespo Cuaresma, Jesús; Fortin, Ines; Hlouskova, Jaroslava - 2021

We develop an econometric modelling framework to forecast commodity prices taking into account potentially different dynamics and linkages existing at different states of the world and using different performance measures to validate the predictions. We assess the extent to which the quality of...

Macroeconomic Uncertainty and Forecasting Macroeconomic Aggregates

Reif, Magnus - 2018

Can information on macroeconomic uncertainty improve the forecast accuracy for key macroeconomic time series for the US? Since previous studies have demonstrated that the link between the real economy and uncertainty is subject to nonlinearities, I assess the predictive power of macroeconomic...

Paths to Success: The Relationship Between Human Development and Economic Growth

Boozer, Michael; Ranis, Gustav; Stewart, Frances; Suri, … - 2003

This paper explores the two-way relationships between Economic Growth (EG) and Human Development (HD), building on an earlier work by Ranis, Stewart, and Ramirez (2000). Here, we show that HD is not only a product of EG but also an important input to it. The paper develops new empirical...

The lasso for high-dimensional regression with a possible change-point

Lee, Sokbae; Seo, Myung Hwan; Shin, Youngki - 2014

We consider a high-dimensional regression model with a possible change-point due to a covariate threshold and develop the Lasso estimator of regression coefficients as well as the threshold parameter. Our Lasso estimator not only selects covariates but also selects a model between linear and...

Information criteria for nonlinear time series models

Rinke, Saskia; Sibbertsen, Philipp - 2015

In this paper the performance of different information criteria for simultaneous model class and lag order selection is evaluated using simulation studies. We focus on the ability of the criteria to distinguish linear and nonlinear models. In the simulation studies, we consider three different...
