      Almeida, Caio Ibsen Rodrigues de
      2005-02-03
      Multivariate Affine term structure models have been increasingly used for pricing derivatives in fixed income markets. In these models, uncertainty of the term structure is driven by a state vector, while the short rate ...

      Nosso objetivo neste trabalho foi examinar a vulnerabilidade do Brasil a choques externos dada a constante afirmação dos bons fundamentos econômicos ora apresentados por nossa economia. Nossa metodologia consistiu em ...
    • Auction econometrics by least squares 

      Rezende, Leonardo
      2004-07-15
      This paper proposes a method to structurally estimate an auction model using a variation of OLS, under commonly held assumptions in both auction theory and econometrics. In spite of its computational simplicity, the method ...
    • Bayesian analysis of extreme events with threshold estimation 

      Lopes, Hedibert Freitas; Assunção, Cibele Noronha Behrens; Gamerman, Dani
      2004-08-20
      The aim of this paper is to analyze extremal events using Generalized Pareto Distributions (GPD), considering explicitly the uncertainty about the threshold. Current practice empirically determines this quantity and proceeds ...
    • Beyond common priors 

      Barelli, Paulo
      2004-07-08
      One property (called action-consistency) that is implicit in the common prior assumption (CPA) is identified and shown to be the driving force of the use of the CPA in a class of well-known results. In particular, we show ...

    • Co-movement between two processes with local persistence 

      Lima, Luiz Renato Regis de Oliveira
      2001
      This paper introduces a residual based test where the null hypothesis of c:&InOvement between two processes with local persistenc~ can be tested, even under the presence of an endogenous regressor. It, therefore, fills in ...

      In this essay, a method for comparing the asymptotic power of the multivariate unit root tests proposed in Phillips & Durlauf (1986) and Flˆores, Preumont & Szafarz (1996) is proposed. In order to determine the asymptotic ...

      We develop a model in which managers choose whether or not to reveal their 'vision' for the future of their companies. Visionary managers are valuable because they generate incentives for workers to develop profitable ...
    • Decision rules and information provision : monitoring vs manipulation 

      Iossa, Elisabetta; Palumbo, Giuliana
      2001-12-06
      We analyze the contractual design problem of a principal who delegates decision-making and information provision. The principal faces two tasks: he has to decide the level of discretion to be granted to the decision-maker ...

      Lima, Luiz Renato Regis de Oliveira; Xiao, Zhijie
      2004-03-01
