In the traditional time series literature bubbles are viewed as nonstationary and non-estimable components of a process. In this paper, we adopt a different approach and consider the bubbles as inherent features of a strictly stationary causal-noncausal (mixed) Vector Autoregressive (VAR) process. This approach allows us to model and estimate the common bubbles and spikes in cryptocurrency prices. It also provides us linear combinations of cryptocurrencies that eliminate common bubbles analogously to the cointegrating vectors eliminating common trends in unit root processes. They are used to build cryptocurrency portfolios immune to the risk of common bubbles that ensure stable investment strategies. The mixed VAR model is estimated from the US Dollar prices of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, and Stellar over the period 2017–2019. We document the common bubbles and illustrate the behaviour of bubble-free portfolios.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48419,"journal":{"name":"Economic Modelling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S026499932400138X/pdfft?md5=cb3d51d2119ee4fdfe8cd7a1ef4a90e3&pid=1-s2.0-S026499932400138X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141290821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using US market data from 1990 to 2019 to determine how strongly investor trust affects public firms’ stock price efficiency and cost of capital, we find that stock prices of firms with higher investor trust reflect market news more efficiently and predict earnings more accurately.

Although theory and evidence indicate that the expansion of the financial system reduces the size of the shadow economy, little is known on the role played by cooperative and commercial banks in shaping the size of the shadow economy. We address this issue using data from 42 developed and developing countries over the 2006–2017 period. For our empirical purposes, Generalized Least Squares (GLS) and Instrumental Variable (IV) estimators have been employed. Evidence indicates that cooperative banks significantly reduce the size of the shadow economy. On the contrary, commercial banks are shown to increase the shadow economy. Consistent with previous literature, while for cooperative banks increased financial outreach encourages small firms to enter the formal sector, thereby reducing the size of the shadow economy, the expansion of commercial banks exacerbates the latter by tightening credit constraints for small firms.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48419,"journal":{"name":"Economic Modelling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S026499932400141X/pdfft?md5=4ad672e75d625dcf25089012af4d93de&pid=1-s2.0-S026499932400141X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141244951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study employs individual observations of more than 100 Chilean financial traders from 2010 to 2022 to analyze how they update inflation expectations in response to monetary policy surprises, when controlling for other relevant factors. The evidence indicates that traders' reactions to policy shocks depend on the actual inflation rate, suggesting a mechanism where observed inflation reflects the central bank’s credibility and, thus, affects responses to policy actions.

This study categorizes information into two types: standardized information that can be codified and non-standardized information that requires “tacit understanding.” Using bank-enterprise relationship data in China from 2010 to 2021, we find that Fintech acts as a “double-edged sword.” It enhances banks' abilities to access standardized information, mitigating financing constraints in less developed areas, but also weakens their capability to process non-standardized information, potentially undermining these benefits.

Given that firms’ technologies exert a greater influence on long-run rather than short-run management, accounting for technology heterogeneity should prevent distortions in persistent inefficiencies and, to a lesser extent, in transient inefficiencies, which has been overlooked in the literature. Employing data from Dutch dairy farms spanning the years 2009 to 2016, I estimate random and fixed coefficients generalized true random effects models in a Bayesian framework, subsequently comparing the derived inefficiency scores. The findings indicate that average persistent inefficiency and its dispersion are inflated when technology heterogeneity is ignored, whilst transient inefficiency remains virtually unaffected.
