Long memory is found in the conditional volatilities of financial returns measured at daily or higher frequencies, as well as in residual cross-products in bivariate series. We test for long memory in conditional correlations by extending the fractionally integrated GARCH model to include...

Income-related inequalities and horizontal inequity in health-care utilisation have recently been widely studied using linear additive models of decomposition. This paper applies new methods of decomposition by factors, based on microsimulation technique. Besides avoiding the unavoidable price...

Corporate ownership networks have a long tradition in developed economies, they are however new to transitional economies like Slovenia, where these networks developed only recently as a result of institutional changes. The resulting network is not natural and is therefore changing rapidly....

This paper proposes a method to analyze interval-censored data, using multiple imputation based on a heteroskedastic interval regression approach. The proposed model aims to obtain a synthetic data set that can be used for standard analysis, including standard linear regression, quantile...

We investigate if green bonds can act as a safe-haven asset for equity investors by analysing their relationship with stocks and other alternative safe havens, namely sovereign bonds and gold. Safe havens are defined as assets that exhibit zero or negative comovement with equity during a stock...

In this paper a count data regression model accounting for endogenous censoring with household specific censoring thresholds is presented. The presented modelling approach is utilized in an analysis of household choice of total number of nights to spend on monthly recreational trips. The...

A multivariate extension of the standard labour supply model in presented. In the multivariate time allocation model leisure is disaggregated into a number of non market activities including sports, volunteer work and home production. Using data from the 2000 UK Time Use Survey, a linear...

Researchers in empirical corporate finance often use bounded ratios (e.g. debt ratios) as dependent variables in their regressions. Using the example of estimating the speed of adjustment toward target leverage, we show by Monte Carlo and resampling experiments that commonly applied estimators...

Households' choice of the number of leisure trips and the total number of overnight stays is empirically studied using Swedish tourism data. A bivariate hurdle approach separating the participation (to travel and stay the night or not) from the quantity (the number of trips and nights) decision...
