While MRF models have been widely used in the solution of inverse problems, a major disadvantage of these models is the difficulty of parameter estimation. At its root, this parameter estimation problem stems from the inability to explicitly express the joint distribution of an MRF in terms of...

We use novel spatial econometrics techniques to explore spillovers in the sovereign bond market for 24 emerging economies during 1995-2010. The paper extends the previous literature focusing on spillover effects from advanced to emerging economies by analyzing transmission of shocks across...
