The aim of this paper to give a multidimensional version of the classical one-dimensional case of smooth spectral density. A spectral density with smooth eigenvalues and H∞ eigenvectors gives an explicit method to factorize the spectral density and compute the Wold representation of a weakly...

This chapter introduces the best linear predictor (BLP) with the asymptotic minimum mean squared forecasting error (MSFE) among linear predictors of variables in cointegrated systems. Accordingly, the authors show that (i) if the autocorrelation coefficient of the cointegration error between the...

We provide a tractable characterization of the sharp identification region of the parameters θ in a broad class of incomplete econometric models. Models in this class have set valued predictions that yield a convex set of conditional or unconditional moments for the observable model variables....
