In this article the approach of Global Vector-Autoregressive (GVAR) models has been applied to Ukraine and its neighbour-countries which contiguous to Ukraine: Belarus, Bulgaria, Georgia, Moldova, Romania, Poland, Slovakia, Russia Federation, Turkey and Hungary. The goal of the research is to...

This study investigates the dynamic linkages between oil prices and stock markets, also known as the oil price–stock price nexus. Within the framework of a VAR (vector autoregression) we examine dynamic interactions between daily Brent spot prices and several Lebanese stock prices. As...

This study examines the dynamic relationship between changes in oil prices and the economic policy uncertainty index for a sample of both net oil-exporting and net oil-importing countries over the period 1997:01-2013:06. To achieve that, we extend the Diebold and Yilmaz (2009, 2012) dynamic...

We estimate an SVAR model for the Australian economy based on an open economy New Keynesian model that accounts for the forward-looking behaviour exhibited by economic agents. Deep structural parameters are identified by placing exclusion restrictions on the VAR residuals and the covariance...

Standard economic intuition suggests that asset prices are more sensitive to news than other economic aggregates. This has led many researchers to conclude that asset price data would be very useful for the estimation of business cycle models containing news shocks. This paper shows how to...

Vector autoregressions (VARs) are economically interpretable only when identified by being transformed into a structural form (the SVAR) in which the contemporaneous variables stand in a well-defined causal order. These identifying transformations are not unique. It is widely believed that...

Dynamic modeling of demand for goods whose cumulated stocks enter an intertemporal utility function as latent variables, is discussed. The issues include: how represent addiction, how handle unobserved expectations and changing plans, how deal with 'dynamic inconsistency'? Arguments are put...
