This article investigates problems arising with near unit root behavior and different market micro-structure noise assumptions for affine term structure models. We show that with increasing serial correlation the Fisher information matrix approaches a singularity, such that the standard...

We provide examples of pitfalls for parametric portfolio policies as introduced by Brandt, Santa Clara and Valkanov (RFS 2009). For the leading case of constant relative risk aversion (CRRA) strong assumptions on the properties of the returns, the variables used to implement the parametric...

We study dynamic panel data models where the long run outcome for a particular cross-section is affected by a weighted average of the outcomes in the other cross-sections. We show that imposing such a structure implies several cointegrating relationships that are nonlinear in the coefficients to...

The ``REtrieval from MIxed Sampling'' (REMIS) approach based on blocking developed in Anderson et al. (2016) is concerned with retrieving an underlying high frequency model from mixed frequency observations. In this paper we investigate parameter-identifiability in the Johansen (1995) vector...
