We show that forward rates can be modeled as ABCD parametric tenor basis spreads over the underlying overnight rate curve. This is possible for both continuously and simply compounded forward rates, with a simple approximation for converting between the corresponding basis. Increasing...

This work analyzes and proposes solutions for subtle, but relevant, problems related to the EONIA curve calibration. The first issue examined is how to deal with jumps and turn-of-year effects. The second point is related to the problem caused by imperfect concatenation between spot starting OIS...

Purpose: This article intends to investigate on the undeclared work (UW) by involving several features, which can be evaluated throughout a set of appropriate variables. The REBUS-PLS (Response Based procedure for detecting Unit Segments–Partial Least Squares) has been proposed in order to...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to understand: whether the changes that have occurred in migrants’ conditions over time are smaller than the differences in their conditions existing across countries; and whether the comparison between immigrants and native-born conditions allows the...
