When inter-arrival times between events follow an exponential distribution, this implies a Poisson frequency of events, as both models assume events occur independently and at a constant average rate. However, these assumptions are often violated in real-insurance applications. When the rate at...

This paper examines the determinants of exchange rate regime of a country. A competing risks model (CRM) is estimated. It is found that the way a country exits a fixed exchange rate regime is affected nonlinearly by the duration of the peg. In addition, countries with a lower growth rate of...
