In a classic article, Granger (Econometrica 34, 1966) asserted that most economic time series measured in level have spectra that exhibit a smooth declining shape with considerable power at very low frequencies. There has been no systematic attempt to examine Granger's assertion with...

Existence of a cointegration relationship between two time series in the time domain imposes restrictions on the series zero‐frequency behaviour in terms of their squared coherence, phase and gain, in the frequency domain. I derive these restrictions by studying cross‐spectral properties of...

We analyse the decline in output volatility in Germany. A lower level of variance in an autoregressive model of output growth can be either due to a change in the structure of the economy (a change in the propagation mechanism) or a reduced error term variance (reduced impulses). In Germany the...

In a classic article, Granger (1966) asserted that most economic time series measured in level have spectra that exhibit a smooth declining shape with considerable power at very low frequencies. There has been no systematic attempt to examine Granger,s assertion with international data. We...

In this paper, the sub-cycles in two economic activity measures are analyzed by using periodogram analyses. Our results from Turkish data suggest that industrial production and capacity utilization rate consist of various cycles including seasonal cycles. These series also have common cycles...

Based on intraday data for a large cross-section of individual stocks and Exchange traded funds, we show that short-term as well as long-term fluctuations of realized market and average idiosyncratic higher moments risks are priced in the crosssectionof asset returns. Specifically, we find that...
