One of most promising applications of wavelets is in the field of nonparametric statistical estimation, in which one wants to estimate an unknown signal from some noisy data. Donoho and Johnstone (1994) have developed a simple and yet powerful methodology for nonparametric regression and...

In this work, we propose the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), with theobjective of predicting the volatility of peseta exchange rate. Firstly, we perform anexhaustive analysis of the forecasting ability of ANNs by comparing them against otherARCH-type models. The results suggest that...

The recent crises of the nineties have made it clear that the links between exchange rates and stock market prices are relevant factors in the transmission of the crises. Using daily exchange rates and stock index prices of the last decade (1990-1999) the interactions between the stock market...

We quantify the role of financial factors behind the sluggish post-crisis performance of European firms. We use a firm-bank-sovereign matched database to identify separate roles for firm and bank balance sheet weaknesses arising from changes in sovereign risk and aggregate demand conditions. We...

Recent asset pricing studies demonstrate the relevance of incorporating the coskewness in Asset Pricing Models, and illustrate how this component helps to explain the time variation of ex-ante market risk premiums. This paper analyzes the role of coskewness in mutual funds performance...

This paper studies the properties of the continuous double auction trading mechanishm using an artificial market populated by heterogeneous computational agents. In particular, we investigate how changes in the population of traders and in market microstructure characteristics affect price...

Notwithstanding the effects of the expansive policies in the advanced economies, due to the 2008 financial crises, could raise their interest rates, generating a crowding-out effect over emerging market debt, this relation could not hold given the better fiscal position of these economies, such...
