We use stochastic optimal control-dynamic programming (DP) to derive the optimal foreign debt/net worth, consumption/net worth, current account/net worth, and endogenous growth rate in an open economy. Unlike the literature that uses an Intertemporal Budget Constraint (IBC) or the Maximum...

Volatility in the financial markets is commonplace and it comes with a cost. One of these costs is abrupt and huge drop in stock price that is known as stock price crash. To model this, we propose a new machine-learning based stock crash risk measure using minimum covariance determinant (MCD) to...

The paper models foreign capital inflow in a multi-period framework from the developed to the developing countries. The market for foreign loan together with the foreign exchange market simultaneously determines interest rate in the international loan market and the exchange rate. We also derive...

This paper investigates tactical investment strategies for investors to survive financial crises. Compared with the buy-and-hold strategy, the buy-and-sell strategy is much more effective in mitigating downside risk before, during, and after a crisis by restricting the left-tail volatility of...

Alan Greenspan's paper (March 2010) presents his retrospective view of the crisis. His theme has several parts. First, the housing price bubble, its subsequent collapse and the financial crisis were not predicted either by the market, the FED, the IMF or the regulators in the years leading to...

A healthy financial system encourages the efficient allocation of capital and risk. The collapse of the house price bubble led to the financial crisis that started in 2007. There is a large empirical literature concerning the relation between asset price bubbles and financial crises. I evaluate...

This paper presents a stylized model of interaction among boundedly rational heterogeneousagents in a multi-asset financial market to examine how agents' impatience, extrapolation, andswitching behaviours can affect cross-section market stability. Besides extrapolation and performance based...

In this paper we investigate the spillover effects of FOREX and equity markets for USA, Brazil, Italy, Germany and Canada on the basis of daily data. We test for contagion co-movements for the period 2010-2018 post global financial crisis, using the trivariate AR-diagonal BEKK model. The...
