Introduction (Gilles Dufrénot and Takashi Matsuki, eds) -- Part I. Macroeconometrics and international finance -- Chapter 1. Quantile and copula spectrum: a new approach to investigate cyclical dependence in economic time series (Gilles Dufrénot, Takashi Matsuki and Kimiko Sugimoto) -- Chapter...

We estimate a multivariate unobserved components stochastic volatility model to explain the dynamics of a panel of six exchange rates against the US Dollar. The empirical model is based on the assumption that both countries' monetary policy strategies may be well described by Taylor rules with a...

The book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest econometric methods for studying the dynamics of macroeconomic and financial time series. It examines alternative methodological approaches and concepts, including quantile spectra and co-spectra, and explores topics such as non-linear and...

The paper considers the problem of volatility co-movement, namely as to whether two financial returns have perfectly correlated common volatility process, in the framework of multivariate stochastic volatility models and proposes a test which checks the volatility co-movement. The proposed test...
