We propose a direct and convenient reduced-bias estimator of predictive regression coefficients, assuming that the regressors are Gaussian first-order autoregressive with errors that are correlated with the error series of the dependent variable. For the single-regressormodel, Stambaugh (1999)...

We consider a common components model for multivariate fractional cointegration, in which the s cedil; 1 components have different memory parameters. The cointegrating rank is allowed to exceed 1. The true cointegrating vectors can be decomposed into orthogonal fractional cointegrating subspaces...

We consider a fractional exponential, or FEXP estimator of the memory parameter of a stationary Gaussian long-memory time series. The estimator is constructed by fitting a FEXP model of slowly increasing dimension to the log periodogram at all Fourier frequencies by ordinary least squares, and...

We consider semiparametric estimation of the memory parameter in a modelwhich includes as special cases both the long-memory stochasticvolatility (LMSV) and fractionally integrated exponential GARCH(FIEGARCH) models. Under our general model the logarithms of the squaredreturns can be decomposed...

We study the exposure of the US corporate bond returns to liquidity shocks of stocks and Treasury bonds over the period 1973 - 2007 in a regime - switching model. In one regime, liquidity shocks have mostly insignificant effects on bond prices, whereas in another regime, a rise in illiquidity...
