Risk shocks and housing markets
Dorofeenko, Viktor; Lee, Gabriel S.; Salyer, Kevin D. - 2010
This paper analyzes the role of uncertainty in a multi-sector housing model with financial frictions. We include time varying uncertainty (i.e. risk shocks) in the technology shocks that affect housing production. The analysis demonstrates that risk shocks to the housing production sector are a...

Accelerating the calibration of stochastic volatility models
Kilin, Fiodar - 2007
comparison is the choice of the fastest method for the calibration of stochastic volatility models, e.g. Heston, Bates, Barndorff …-Nielsen-Shephard models or Levy models with stochastic time. We show that using additional cache technique makes the calibration with the … direct integration method at least seven times faster than the calibration with the fractional FFT method. …

On the calibration of the Cheyette interest rate model
Beyna, Ingo; Wystup, Uwe - 2010
. Therefore, we apply derivative-free techniques and find that they stabilize the calibration. Furthermore, we identify auspicious … volatility parametrizations determining the Cheyette model. In combination with the established calibration techniques the …

The mechanics of a reasonably fitted quarterly New Keynesian macro model
Mayer, Eric - 2003
The last years have witnessed a sharp increase of interest in monetary policy rules (see Taylor [1999]). This normative branch of monetary policy tries to evaluate the performance of alternative monetary policy rules in terms of associated monetary policy outcomes. Nevertheless this exercise is...

Comparing the accuracy of default predictions in the rating industry: The case of Moody's vs. S&P
Krämer, Walter; Güttler, André - 2003
We consider 1927 borrowers from 54 countries who had a credit rating by both Moody's and S&P as of the end of 1998, and their subsequent default history up to the end of 2002. Viewing bond ratings as predicted probabilities of default, we show that it is unlikely that both agencies are well...

Spatio-Temporal Denoising for Depth Map Sequences
Hach, Thomas; Seybold, Tamara - In: International Journal of Multimedia Data Engineering … 7 (2016) 2, pp. 21-35
This paper proposes a novel strategy for depth video denoising in RGBD camera systems. Depth map sequences obtained by state-of-the-art Time-of-Flight sensors suffer from high temporal noise. Hence, all high-level RGB video renderings based on the accompanied depth maps' 3D geometry like...

Eu enlargement and the gains from trade
Calin-Vlad, Demian - 2013
In this paper I quantify the welfare gains of the 2004 EU enlargement as a result of the abolition of border controls, both for incumbents and for new members. I build a multi-sector Ricardian model, allowing for linkages across sectors, similar to the one in Caliendro and Parro (2011). As with...
