Title:Structural Vector Autoregressions with Markov Switching
Author(s):LANNE, Markku; LUETKEPOHL, Helmut; MACIEJOWSKA, KatarzynaDate:2009Type of Publication:Working PaperSeries/Report no.:EUI ECOAbstract:Abstract. It is argued that in structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) analysis a Markov regime switching (MS) property can be exploited to identify shocks if the reduced form error covariance matrix varies across regimes. ...
Title:Modeling Expectations with Noncausal Autoregressions
Author(s):LANNE, Markku; SAIKKONEN, PenttiDate:2008Type of Publication:Working PaperSeries/Report no.:EUI ECOAbstract:This paper is concerned with univariate noncausal autoregressive models and their
potential usefulness in economic applications. We argue that noncausal autoregres-
sive models are especially well suited for modeling ...
Title:A Statistical Comparison of Alternative Identification Schemes for Monetary Policy Shocks
Author(s):LANNE, Markku; LUETKEPOHL, HelmutDate:2008Type of Publication:Working PaperSeries/Report no.:EUI ECOAbstract:Abstract. Different identification schemes for monetary policy shocks have
been proposed in the literature. They typically specify just-identifying re-
strictions in a standard structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) ...
Title:Stock Prices and Economic Fluctuations: A Markov Switching Structural Vector Autoregressive Analysis
Author(s):LANNE, Markku; LUETKEPOHL, HelmutDate:2008Type of Publication:Working PaperSeries/Report no.:EUI ECOAbstract:The role of expectations for economic fluctuations has received
considerable attention in recent business cycle analysis. We exploit Markov
regime switching models to identify shocks in cointegrated structural vector ...
Title:A Mixture Multiplicative Error Model for Realized Volatility
Author(s):LANNE, MarkkuDate:2006Type of Publication:Working PaperSeries/Report no.:EUI ECOAbstract:A multiplicative error model with time-varying parameters and
an error term following a mixture of gamma distributions is intro-
duced. The model is fitted to the daily realized volatility series of
Deutschemark/Dollar ...
Title:The effect of a transaction tax on exchange rate volatility
Author(s):LANNE, Markku; VESALA, TimoDate:2005Type of Publication:Working PaperSeries/Report no.:EUI ECOAbstract:We argue that a transaction tax is likely to amplify, not dampen, volatility in the foreign exchange markets. Our argument stems from the decentralized trading practice and the presumable discrepancy between 'informed' and ...
