In this study, relationship between inflation and inflation uncertainty is analyzed using Granger causality tests with annual inflation series covering the time period 1923 to 2012 for Turkish Economy. Inflation uncertainty is measured by Exponential Generalized Autoregressive Conditional...

Decreasing inflation uncertainty, as the major source of welfare costs, requires finding the driving factors of this variable. Counting inflation as one of the driving factors of inflation uncertainty has created some concern due to the ambiguity over the causality between inflation and...

El trabajo analiza el comportamiento del Ibex35, durante el período que abarca desde enero de 1999 a diciem¬bre de 2011, con el objetivo de comprobar si sigue un proceso diferente al paseo aleatorio, de tal forma que su rendimiento no se caracteriza por ser ruido blanco y resulta, en contra de...

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the dynamics of crude oil prices of OPEC and non-OPEC countries using threshold cointegration. To capture the long run asymmetric price transmission mechanism, we develop an error correction model within a threshold cointegration and CGARCH errors...

Unanticipated shocks could lead to instability, which is reflected in statistically significant changes in distributions of random variables. Changes in the conditional moments of stationary variables are predictable. We provide a framework based on a statistic for the Sample Generalized...

This paper explores the dynamics of return co-movements between the largest economic sectors in South Africa, specifically with a view to shed light on the inter-sector diversification potential of domestic investors over time. It has been widely documented that investors have a home-bias when...

A large literature on intergenerational mobility focuses on the conditional mean of children's economic outcomes to understand the role of family background, but ignores the information contained in conditional variance. Using exceptionally rich data free of coresidency bias, we provide evidence...

Recent empirical work indicates that, in a variety of financial markets, both conditional expectations and conditional variances of asset returns are time-varying. The purpose of this paper is to determine whether these joint fluctuations of conditional first and second moments are consistent...
