We investigate asymmetries in the relationship between the cross-sectional mean (aggregate) rate of inflation and the second and third central moments of the cross-sectional distribution of relative prices by means of a modified Calvo pricing model with regime-dependent price rigidities. We...

We examine which methods are appropriate for estimating dynamic panel data models in empirical corporate finance. Our simulations show that the instrumental variable and GMM estimators are unreliable, and sensitive to the presence of unobserved heterogeneity, residual serial correlation, and...

Motivated by the stylized fact that intraday returns can provide additional information on the tail behaviour of daily returns, we propose a functional autoregressive value-at-risk approach which can directly incorporate such informational advantage into the daily value-at-risk forecast. Our...

We employ dynamic threshold partial adjustment models to study the asymmetries in firms' adjustments toward their target leverage. Using a sample of US firms over the period 2002-2012, we document a negative impact of the Global Financial Crisis on the speed of leverage adjustment. In our...

We develop a dynamic panel threshold model of capital structure to test the dynamic trade-off theory, allowing for asymmetries in firms' adjustments toward target leverage. Our novel estimation approach is able to consistently estimate heterogeneous speeds of adjustment in different regimes as...
