This study applies Haider and Solon’s (2005) generalized errors-in-variables model to Swedish income tax data in order to produce estimates of the association between current and lifetime income. Our estimates of this association demonstrate strong life-cycle patterns. This implies that the...

The purpose of this paper is to propose a seigniorage model including the contributions of Bailey (1956) and Marty (1976), using a different framework to Mankiw (1987), to test whether their results are supported, and use a numerical example to estimate the seigniorage model. The government...

The statistical modelling of extreme values has recently received substantial attention in a broad spectrum of sciences. Given that in a wide variety of scenarios, one is mostly concerned with explaining tail events (say, an economic recession) than central ones, the need to rely on statistical...

This paper focusses on survey expectations and discusses their uses for testing and modeling of expectations. Alternative models of expectations formation are reviewed and the importance of allowing for heterogeneity of expectations is emphasized. A weak form of the rational expectations...

Common currency areas and Asian common currency areas in particular are highly topical and somewhat controversial areas for research. We explore the hypothesis that the members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations meet necessary conditions for forming a common currency area and whether...

Cet article généralise l'approche de Bollerslev et Zhang (2003) qui consiste à utiliser des mesures et co-mesures de risque « réalisées » pour l'estimation des sensibilités dans les modèles d'évaluation des actifs financiers. Nous proposons ici d'étendre cette approche en introduisant...

This paper introduces previously missing financial components(efficiency, activity and size) in the assessment of the finance-investment nexus. Using VAR models in the perspectives of VECM and short-run Granger causality, three broad findings are established: (1) while finance led investment...
