This paper investigates how variations in macroeconomic uncertainty distort commercial banks’ allocation of loanable funds by analyzing the dispersion of banks’ total loan-to-asset ratios over a quartercentury period. JEL: C22, C23, D81, E51.

This paper develops a Bayesian quantile regression model with time-varying parameters (TVPs) for forecasting inflation risks. The proposed parametric methodology bridges the empirically established benefits of TVP regressions ability to flexibly whole distribution inflation. In order make our approach accessible and relevant forecasting, we derive an efficient Gibbs sampler by transforming stat...

An increase in credit, especially consumption can trigger aggregate demand growth above potential output which causes the economy to heat up. This study aims analyze effect of macroeconomic variables, such as interest rates, inflation, and gross domestic product (GDP), on for property credit Indonesia with period January 2011 – December 2018. The results show that short term, rate lag 1 2, infl...

This paper analyzes the asymptotic behavior of two types of so-called KPSS tests when a logarithm transformation has been applied spuriously to data that are themselves an integrated time series. Although a different limit distribution is obtained, the asymptotic convergence behavior of the KPSS statistic is reminiscent of that of integrated time series, and it is shown that the KPSS test canno...

A panel of ex-ante forecasts of a single time series is modeled as a dynamic factor model, where the conditional expectation is the single unobserved factor. When applied to out-of-sample forecasting, this leads to combination forecasts that are based on methods other than OLS. These methods perform well in a Monte Carlo experiment. These methods are evaluated empirically in a panel of simulate...

In this paper we investigate whether macroeconomic uncertainty could distort banks’ allocation of loanable funds. To provide a road– map for our empirical investigation, we present a simple framework which demonstrates that lower uncertainty about the return from lending should lead to a more unequal distribution of lending across banks as managers take advantage of more precise knowledge of di...

Are share markets too volatile? While it is difficult to ignore share market volatility it is important to determine whether volatility is excessive. This paper replicates the Shiller (1981) test as well as applying standard time series analysis to annual Australian stock market data for the period 1883 to 1999. While Shiller’s test suggests the possibility of excess volatility, time series ana...
