Business surveys modelling with Seasonal-Cyclical Long Memory models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Business surveys are an important element in the analysis of the short-term economic situation because of the timeliness and nature of the information they convey. Especially, surveys are often involved in econometric models in order to provide an early assessment of the current state of the economy, which is of great interest for policy-makers. In this paper, we focus on non-seasonally adjusted business surveys released by the European Commission. We introduce an innovative way for modelling those series taking the persistence of the seasonal roots into account through seasonal-cyclical long memory models. We empirically prove that such models produce more accurate forecasts than classical seasonal linear models. The views expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Banque de France.

Identification of Cyclical Banks in Iranian Banking System (Focus on Leverage Ratio)
T he cyclical banks have different behavior than other banks. The structure of the balance sheet in cyclical banks is different from anti-cyclical banks. The cyclical banks have a relationship between leverage growth and asset growth while the other banks have no relationship between asset growth and leverage growth in the banking system. This relationship depends on the structure of...

متن کاملSeasonal Adjustment and the Business Cycle in Unemployment
Several recent studies show that seasonal variation and cyclical variation in unemployment are correlated. A common nding is that seasonality tends to diier across the business cycle stages of recessions and expansions. Since seasonal adjustment methods assume that the two sources of variation can somehow be separated, the present study examines the impact of seasonal adjustment on the analysis...

متن کاملTesting Fractional Order of Long Memory Processes: A Monte Carlo Study
Testing the fractionally integrated order of seasonal and non-seasonal unit roots is quite important for the economic and financial time series modelling. In this paper, Robinson test (1994) is applied to various well-known long memory models. Via Monte Carlo experiments, we study and compare the performances of this test using several sample sizes.
