The main objective of this study is to assess the impact of real effective exchange rate volatility on domestic labor demand, and the export of Bangladesh. This study is based on the proposition of the relationship between labor demand, exchange rate volatility, and international trade. In this...

The no arbitrage relation between futures and spot prices implies an analogous relation between futures and spot volatilities as measured by daily range. Long memory features of the range-based volatility estimators of the two series are analyzed, and their joint dynamics are modeled via a...

It is well established that the shocks driving many key macro-economic and financial variables display time-varying volatility. In this paper we consider estimation and hypothesis testing on the coefficients of the co-integrating relations and the adjustment coefficients in vector...

This paper investigates the potentially time-varying importance of spot and futures markets in the price discovery process of financial assets. For this purpose, we generalize the concept of component shares and information shares to allow for state-dependent relevance of different markets over...

Long-run restrictions have been used extensively for identifying structural shocks in vector autoregressive (VAR) analysis. Such restrictions are typically just-identifying but can be checked by utilizing changes in volatility. This paper reviews and contrasts the volatility models that have...
