Dans cette étude, nous estimons l'influence de certaines caractéristiques sur les prix des logements avec la méthode des prix hédoniques. Nous utilisons tout d'abord une approche classique, basée sur un modèle de régression paramétrique avec autocorrélation spatiale. Cette approche...

In this article, we use hedonic models to estimate house prices. We first consider a linear regression model with spatial autocorrelation. To use this parametric approach, we have to specify a priori a functional form and a weight matrix. We thus present a semiparametric approach.

Test for unit root based in wavelets theory is recently defined (Gençay and Fan, 2007). While the new test is supposed to be robust to the initial value, we bring out by contrast the significant effects of the initial value in the size and the power. We found also that both the wavelets unit...

In this paper two characteristics a priori contradictory and yet coexistent in the daily returns of exchange rate euro/US dollar are drawn. The non-stationarity of the covariance structure of the series is shown and, after the extraction of the unstable variance using the algorithm based on the...

This paper asks whether the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) provides economic incentives to reduce carbon emissions. If so, electricity producers should include the price of carbon in their cost functions. After identifying different sub-periods of the EU ETS during its pilot...

In order to comply with their commitments under the Kyoto Protocol, France and Germany participate to the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) which concerns predominantly electricity generation sectors. In this paper we seek to know if the EU ETS gives appropriate economic incentives...

This article considers the evidence for threshold effects in the relationship between electricity and emission permit prices in France and Germany during the second phase of the EU ETS. Specifically, we compare linear and nonlinear threshold models of electricity prices using Hansen's (2000)...
