In likelihood-based estimation of linearized Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models, the evaluation of the Kalman Filter dominates the running time of the entire algorithm. In this paper, we revisit a set of simple recursions known as the “Chandrasekhar Recursions” developed by...

We develop a computationally efficient methodology to evaluate optimal management in a spatially and temporally dynamic bioeconomic system. The method involves standard techniques from the macroeconomics literature to calculate approximately optimal linear decision rules. Iterations between the...

The paper investigates the emergence of complex market expectations (opinion dynamics) around nominal exchange rate adjustments using a macro-financial model of a small open economy featuring heterogeneous expectation formation (chartists and fundamentalists) and gradual adjustment processes in...

The traditional causality relationship proposed by Granger (Econometrica 37(3):424–438, <CitationRef CitationID="CR10">1969</CitationRef>) assumes the relationships between variables are short range dependence with the same integrated order.Chen (J Forecast 25(3):193–200, <CitationRef CitationID="CR2">2006</CitationRef>, J Forecast 27:607–620, <CitationRef CitationID="CR3">2008</CitationRef>) proposed a bivariate model...</citationref></citationref></citationref>

Credit risk management is important for the investors in practical risk management. This paper aims to discuss how to evaluate the default risk of bond portfolios by applying extreme value theory. Based on Black and Cox default approach, we propose a novel threshold default model and use extreme...

In December 2013 the European Commissioner Barnier, presenting the Single Resolution Mechanism for the resolution and recovery of banking crises, said it will “break the vicious circle between banks and their sovereigns”. But is there any vicious circle? And if so, will resolution tools be...
