This paper improves the estimation procedure of the Multifractal Random Walk model by means of an optimal iterated Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator using an enhanced moments function. We report good estimation results within the scope of a Monte Carlo simulation study, with normally...

We analyze the theoretical moments of a nonlinear approximation to real business cycle model with stochastic volatility … and recursive preferences. We nd that the conditional heteroskedasticity of stochastic volatility operationalizes a time … differing orders of approximation, enabling us to identify the common channel through which stochastic volatility in isolation …

We investigate the price dynamics of two illiquid agricultural futures contracts traded at the European Exchange in Frankfurt. Based on constant and time-varying vector error correction models, we measure the contribution of each futures market to price discovery. Although results from the...

We use a compound option-based structural credit risk model to infer a term structure of banking crisis risk from market data on bank stocks in daily frequency. Considering debt service payments with different maturities this term structure assigns a separate estimator for short- and long-term...

Innovations, be they radical new products or technology improvements are widely recognized as a key factor of economic growth. To identify the factors triggering innovative activities is a main concern for economic theory and empirical analysis. As the number of hypotheses is large, the process...

In a small-scale New-Keynesian model with a hybrid Phillips curve and IS equation, the paper is concerned with an arbitrary frequency of the agents' synchronized decision making. It investigates the validity of a fundamental methodological precept according to which no substantive prediction or...

I explore the effects of on-net / off-net differentiation on network sizes in mobile telecommunications when both rational and non-rational consumers coexist in the market. In particular, three different types of consumers are modeled: (1) fully informed rational (FIR) consumers who are...
