We formulate a price discovery model in which the price discovery measures vary either locally, say, for instance, at … intervals of 30 minutes or at a daily frequency. Given the empirical and theoretical evidence that price discovery measures …. The resulting kernel-based price discovery measures are consistent and asymptotically normal. Empirically, we compute …

We characterize modern econometrics in terms of the emergence a widely accepted analytical framework. A major theme which dominated much of the debate through the century was whether and how econometric models can reflect theory-generated economic structures. In the period prior to the 2nd world...

This paper deals with the issues of identification and estimation in the canonical model of contagion advanced in Pesaran and Pick (2007). The model is a two-equation nonlinear simultaneous equations system with endogenous dummy variables; it also represents an extension of univariate threshold...

This paper examines the effect of systematic self-report bias, the non-random deviation between the self-reported and true values of the same measure. This bias may be constant or variable, and can mislead empirical analyses based on descriptive statistics, program evaluation and instrumental...

In social network analysis, many estimation methods have been developed over the past three decades. Due to the computational complexity for analyzing large-scale social network data, however, those methods cannot be applied effectively. On the other hand, the structure of large-scale network...

This paper develops structural stability tests based on the Efficient Method of Moments for the case of a known breakpoint. Computationally attractive post-sample estimators and test-statistics for structural stability are proposed, which are modifications of the Lagrange Multiplier, Likelihood...

This paper uses multi-level factor models to characterize within- and between-block variations as well as idiosyncratic noise in large dynamic panels. Block-level shocks are distinguished from genuinely common shocks, and the estimated block-level factors are easy to interpret. The framework...

This paper aims to estimate the equilibrium real exchange rate for the Brazilian economy. The equilibrium exchange rate is defined as the level of exchange rate that guarantees the stability of the net foreign asset position over time. An econometric model is estimated using a Vector Error...

We consider a new class of estimators for volatility functionals in the setting of frequently observed Itô diffusions which are disturbed by i.i.d. noise. These statistics extend the approach of pre-averaging as a general method for the estimation of the integrated volatility in the presence of...

This paper introduces a novel approach for dealing with the 'curse of dimensionality' in the case of large linear dynamic systems. Restrictions on the coefficients of an unrestricted VAR are proposed that are binding only in a limit as the number of endogenous variables tends to infinity. It is...
