For a Lévy process X having finite variation on compact sets and finite first moments, µ( dx) = xv( dx) is a finite signed measure which completely describes the jump dynamics. We construct kernel estimators for linear functionals of µ and provide rates of convergence under regularity...

We investigate the impact of market power of banks on their risk-taking, using bank-level data from 35 emerging economies during the period of 2000-2014. We set up a semiparametric model of the market power-bank risk nexus, and conduct estimation applying the Bayesian inference, which provides...
