This paper proposes a new class of dynamic copula models for daily asset returns that exploits information from high frequency (intra-daily) data. We augment the generalized autoregressive score (GAS) model of Creal et al. (2013) with high frequency measures such as realized correlation to...

In this paper, we discuss the structure of a forward-looking model of the Japanese economy, which has been jointly developed by the Institute of Economic Research, Kyoto University, and the Policy Research Institute, Ministry of Finance, and use the model to simulate policies for fiscal...

The leading strategy for analyzing unstructured data uses two steps. First, latent variables of economic interest are estimated with an upstream information retrieval model. Second, the estimates are treated as “data” in a downstream econometric model. We establish theoretical arguments for...

The issue of income disparity has long plagued South Africa because of the political environment that existed before the country's 1994 democratic transition. Based on the widely used Gini index, which gauges global inequality, the nation routinely has some of the highest rates of income...

En este artículo se presentan modelos binarios logit y probit para analizar el impacto de la inflación de los activos financieros (acciones, vivienda y crédito) sobre la probabilidad de desaceleración económica en Colombia, para el período 1990-2011. Se determina el plazo (corto o mediano)...

En Colombia se han llevado a cabo varias reformas tributarias las cuales tuvieron como objetivoel aumento de los ingresos tributarios para asegurar el equilibrio de las finanzas públicas a cortoy mediano plazo. Si bien, las diversas reformas tributarias lograron incrementar los ingresosdel...

This study implements a regular vine copula methodology to evaluate the level of contagion among the exchange rates of six Latin American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru) from June 2005 to April 2012. We measure contagion in terms of tail dependence coefficients,...

El mercado laboral colombiano ha acogido cada vez más al género femenino hasta el punto de ocupar cargos de altos salarios y reconocimiento. Para analizar lo anterior, se tomaron en cuenta los registros de la Encuesta Integrada de Hogares, datos oficiales, para los segundos trimestres de los...

Resumen: Frecuentemente en el análisis de regresión es necesario transformar la variable dependiente con el fin de obtener aditividad y errores normales y de varianza constante. Box y Cox (1964) proponen una transformación paramétrica de potencia basada en el supuesto de normalidad con el...

We propose a numerical method, based on indirect inference, for checking the identification of a DSGE model. Monte Carlo samples are generated from the model's true structural parameters and a VAR approximation to the reduced form estimated for each sample. We then search for a different set of...
