Title:Rationalizing Trading Frequency and Returns
Author(s):BONAPARTE, Yosef; COOPER, RussellDate:2010Type of Publication:Working PaperSeries/Report no.:EUI ECOAbstract:Barber and Odean (2000) study the relationship between trading frequency and returns. They find that households who trade more frequently have a lower net return than other households. But all households have about the ...
Title:Reaction to Technology Shocks in Markov-Switchings Structural VARs: Identification via heteroskedasticity
Author(s):NETŠUNAJEV, AlekseiDate:2012Type of Publication:Working PaperSeries/Report no.:EUI ECOAbstract:The paper reconsiders the conflicting results in the debate connected to the effects of technology shocks on hours worked in the bivariate system. Given major dissatisfaction with the just-identifying long-run restrictions, ...
Title:Realized Beta GARCH: Multivariate GARCH model with realized measures of volatility and covolatility
Author(s):HANSEN, Peter Reinhard; LUNDE, Asger; VOEV, ValeriDate:2012Type of Publication:Working PaperSeries/Report no.:EUI ECOAbstract:We introduce a multivariate GARCH model that incorporates realized measures of
volatility and covolatility. The realized measures extract information about the current
level of volatility and covolatility from high-frequency ...
Title:Realized GARCH: A joint model for returns and realized measures of volatility
Author(s):HANSEN, Peter Reinhard; HUANG, Zhuo; SHEK, Howard HowanDate:2012Type of Publication:ArticleAbstract:We introduce a new framework, Realized GARCH, for the joint modeling of returns and realized measures of volatility. A key feature is a measurement equation that relates the realized measure to the conditional variance of ...
Title:Reassessing Labor Market Reforms: Temporary Contracts as a Screening Device
Author(s):FACCINI, RenatoDate:2008Type of Publication:Working PaperSeries/Report no.:EUI ECOAbstract:Standard models of temporary contracts are either inconclusive, or fail to ac-

Title:Reconstructing Aggregate Euro-Zone Data
Author(s):BEYER, Andreas; DOORNIK, Jurgen A.; HENDRY, David F.Date:2000Type of Publication:ArticleAbstract:Reconstructing historical euro-zone data by aggregation across individual countries is problematic because of past exchange rate changes. The approach here avoids such distortions, yet aggregates exactly when exchange rates ...
Title:Recursive Contracts
Author(s):MARCET, Albert; MARIMON, RamonDate:1998Type of Publication:Working PaperSeries/Report no.:EUI ECOAbstract:We obtain a recursive formulation for a general class of contracting problems involving incentive constraints. These constraints make the corresponding maximization (sup) problems non recursive. Our approach consists of ...
