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: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-
count for the positive correlation between temporary contracts and the employ-
ment rate, and for the high transition rates into permanent ...
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 ...

Title:Referral Networks and the Allocation of Talent
Author(s):POTHIER, DavidDate:2012Type of Publication:Working PaperSeries/Report no.:EUI ECOAbstract:We study a model of occupational choice where workers must rely on their social contacts to acquire job vacancy information. Contrary to the existing literature, we allow for worker heterogeneity in terms of their idiosyncratic ...
Title:Regime Switching Interest Rates and Fluctuations in Emerging Markets
Author(s):GRUSS, Bertrand; MERTENS, KarelDate:2009Type of Publication:Working PaperSeries/Report no.:EUI ECOAbstract:We estimate regime switching models for emerging market interest rates and embed the obtained nonlinear dynamics in a small open economy model with a financial friction. We show that the presence of an infrequent regime ...
