We investigate the macro financial determinants of the Great Financial Crisis of 2007-2009 using data on 83 countries from the period 1998-2006. Our results show that the probability of suffering the crisis in 2008 was larger for countries having higher levels of credit deposit ratio whereas it...

By analysing the macro financial determinants of the Great Financial Crisis of 2007-2009 on 83 countries, we find that the probability of suffering the crisis in 2008 was larger for countries having higher levels of credit deposit ratio whereas it was lower for countries having higher levels of:...

Two experiments investigated impacts of hazard types and information deliveries on riskperception, with a focus on the role of emotions. In the first experiment, technologicalhazards aroused stronger emotions, and were considered as riskier than natural hazards. Nodifferences were found between...

The use of different currencies in the invoicing of international trade transactions plays a major role in the international transmission of economic fluctuations. Existing studies argue that an exporter’s invoicing choice reflects structural aspects of her industry, such as market share and...

We study a quadratic BSDE in a continuous filtration with an unbounded generatorand an infinite time horizon. This equation comes from a stochasticcontrol problem in the context of robust utility maximisation.[...]

We study the robustness of block resampling procedures for time series. We first derive a setof formulas to quantify their quantile breakdown point. For the block bootstrap and the sub-sampling, we find a very low quantile breakdown point. A similar robustness problem arisesin relation to...
