This book deals with the omitted variable test for a multivariate time-series regression model. The empirical motivation is the homogeneity test for a consumer demand system. The consequences of using a dynamically misspecified omitted variable test are shown in detail. The analysis starts with...

This paper offers evidence that bank managers adjust key strategic variables following a risk and/or valuation signal. Banks receive a risk signal when they have a substantially higher volatility compared to the best performing bank(s) with similar business model characteristics, and a valuation...

In this article, we study stochastic orders over an interval. Mainly, we focus on orders related to the Laplace transform. The results are then applied to obtain a bound for heavy-tailed distributions and are illustrated by some examples. We also indicate how these ordering relationships can be...
