return and volatility spillovers are important for portfolio selection, asset valuation and market efficiency investigation. using a var-bekk framework model, this paper investigates return and volatility spillover effects between three size-sorted equity indices in tehran stock exchange (tse). although daily return of large stocks leads small stocks (lead-lag effect), there wasn’t any spillove...

This paper uses factor analytic methods to decompose industrial production (IP) into components arising from aggregate shocks and idiosyncratic sector-specific shocks. An approximate factor model finds that nearly all (90%) of the variability of quarterly growth rates in IP are associated with common factors. Because common factors may reflect sectoral shocks that have propagated by way of inpu...

The purpose of this paper is to develop an output oriented methodology for calculating productivity growth by using Malmquist productivity index (MPI) and two different data envelopment analysis (DEA) views (optimistic and pessimistic) simultaneously, and apply it to five Iranian Commercial Banks over the four time period (2009-2013). Consequently, we have proposed a new approach called the dou...

in this paper we examine the effect of the oil volatility, consumer price index (cpi) and industrial production on the stock market return in tehran stock exchange (tse). we used seasonal data in period 1378-1390 and auto regressive distributed method (ardl) for the short-term and long-term relationship between the variables. as results of research indicate, we find that there is positive short...

By generalizing Hamilton’s model of the US business cycle to a three-regime Markov-switching vector autoregressive model, this paper analyzes regime shifts in the stochastic process of economic growth in the US, Japan and Europe over the last four decades. Empirical evidence is established for the presence of a structural break in the expansionary GDP growth for the US and Japan based on an out...

This paper is aimed at analyzing the interrelation between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Energy Consumption (EC) in Mexico during period 1970-2014. To do that, we carry out a cointegration test Granger causality analysis. The empirical results from show stable link growth rates of FDI EC long run. While Granger’s that short run there unidirectional rate toward EC, while medium bidirection...

We develop a global vector autoregressive model GVAR to analyze macroeconomic shock transmission among the East African Community countries. The results suggest that there is a signi…cant growth and in‡ation shock transmissions from Kenya to the rest of the member countries while the transmission in the opposite direction is insigni…cant. The macroeconomic shocks are re‡ected more on prices tha...

This paper reexamines the effects of inflation uncertainty on real economic activity by utilizing a flexible, dynamic, multivariate framework that accommodates possible interaction between the conditional means and variances. The empirical model is based on the identified vector autoregressive regression of Bernanke and Gertler (1995), modified to accommodate multivariate generalized autoregres...

This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the interest rate pass-through euro area monetary policy to retail rates outside area, contributing literature on consequences unofficial financial euroisation and transmission channels spillovers. The results suggest that in long run, more than one third all euroised countries central, eastern south-eastern Europe (CESEE) are linked shadow rate. ...
