We study dynamic panel data models where the long run outcome for a particular cross-section is affected by a weighted average of the outcomes in the other cross-sections. We show that imposing such a structure implies several cointegrating relationships that are nonlinear in the coefficients to...

In this article we estimate default intensities within the continuous time Jarrow/Turnbull (1995) model from daily observations of German bank bond prices, based on the default-free term structure estimated from the Svensson (1994) model provided by the Deutsche Bundesbank. Cross-sectional and...

This article covers the implicit estimation of the parameters in the Jarrow/Turnbull (1995) default risk model. We demonstrate by means of a simulation analysis that joint estimation of the default intensity and the recovery rate by non-linear least squares is numerically unstable. Therefore, we...
