Bayesian Mode Inference for Discrete Distributions in Economics and Finance
Cross, Jamie L.; Hoogerheide, Lennart; Labonne, Paul; Van Dijk, Herman K. (CAMP Working Paper Series;11/2023, Working paper, 2023-06-27)Detecting heterogeneity within a population is crucial in many economic and financial applications. Econometrically, this requires a credible determination of multimodality in a given data distribution. We propose a ... -
A Constrained Dynamic Nelson-Siegel Model for Monetary Policy Analysis
Cross, Jamie L.; Poon, Aubrey; Wenying, Yao; Zhu, Dan (CAMP Working Paper Series;06/2024, Working paper, 2024-07-15)The Dynamic Nelson-Siegel (DNS) model implies that the instantaneous bond yield is a linear combination of yield curve’s level and slope factors. However, this constraint is not used in practice because it induces a ... -
The Drivers of Emission Reductions in the European Carbon Market
Bjørnland, Hilde C.; Cross, Jamie L.; Kapfhammer, Felix (CAMP Working Paper Series;08/2023, Working paper, 2023-09-17)This paper studies the drivers of emission reductions in the carbon market of the European Union Emission Trading System (EU ETS) since its inception in 2005. We introduce a novel empirical framework that facilitates the ... -
Flexible Negative Binomial Mixtures for Credible Mode Inference in Heterogeneous Count Data from Finance, Economics and Bioinformatics
Cross, Jamie L.; Hoogerheide, Lennart; Labonne, Paul; Van Djik, Herman K. (CAMP Working Paper Series;09/2024, Working paper, 2024-08-29)In several scientific fields, such as finance, economics and bioinformatics, important theoretical and practical issues exist involving multimodal and asymmetric count data distributions due to heterogeneity of the underlying ... -
Inflation expectations and the pass-through of oil prices
Aastveit, Knut Are; Bjørnland, Hilde Christiane; Cross, Jamie L. (CAMP Working Paper Series;03/2020, Working paper, 2020-06-25)Do inflation expectations and the associated pass-though of oil price shocks depend on demand and supply conditions underlying the global market for crude oil? We answer this question with a novel structural vector ... -
International Transmission of Macroeconomic Uncertainty in Small Open Economies: An Empirical Approach
Cross, Jamie L.; Hou, Chenghan; Poon, Aubrey (CAMP Working Paper Series Paper No. 12/2018;, Working paper, 2018-11)We estimate the effects of domestic and international sources of macroeconomic uncertainty in three small open economy (SOE) inflation targeting countries: Australia, Canada and New Zealand. To this end, we propose a structural ... -
Macroeconomic Forecasting with Large Stochastic Volatility in Mean VARs
Cross, Jamie L.; Hou, Chenghan; Koop, Gary; Poon, Aubrey (CAMP Working Paper Series;04/2021, Working paper, 2021-06-15)Vector autoregressions with stochastic volatility in both the conditional mean and variance are commonly used to estimate the macroeconomic effects of uncertainty shocks. Despite their popularity, intensive computational ... -
Monetary policy shocks and exchange rate dynamics in small open economies
Terrell, Madison; Haque, Qazi; Cross, Jamie L.; Tchatoka, Firmin Doko (CAMP Working Paper Series;10/2023, Working paper, 2023-06-29)This paper investigates the relationship between monetary policy shocks and real exchange rates in several small open economies. To that end, we develop a novel identification strategy for time-varying structural vector ... -
Oil and the Stock Market Revisited: A mixed functional VAR approach
Bjørnland, Hilde C.; Chang, Yoosoon; Cross, Jamie L. (CAMP Working Paper Series;03/2023, Working paper, 2023-03-13)This paper proposes a new mixed vector autoregression (MVAR) model to examine the relationship between aggregate time series and functional variables in a multivariate setting. The model facilitates a re examination of the ... -
On the China factor in international oil markets: A regime switching approach
Cross, Jamie L.; Hou, Chenghan; Nguyen, Bao H. (CAMP Working Paper Series Paper;11/2018, Working paper, 2018)We investigate the relationship between world oil markets and China's macroeconomic performance over the past two decades. Our analysis starts by proposing a simple method for disentangling real economic activity stemming ... -
Quantifying time-varying forecast uncertainty and risk for the real price of oil
Aastveit, Knut Are; Cross, Jamie L.; van Dijk, Herman K. (CAMP Working Paper Series;03/2021, Working paper, 2021-06-01)We propose a novel and numerically efficient quantification approach to forecast uncertainty of the real price of oil using a combination of probabilistic individual model forecasts. Our combination method extends earlier ... -
The Role of Precautionary and Speculative Demand in the Global Market for Crude Oil
Cross, Jamie L.; Nguyen, Bao H.; Tran, Trung Duc (CAMP Working Paper Series;06/2021, Working paper, 2021-11-01)Contemporary structural models of the global market for crude oil jointly specify precautionary and speculative demand as a composite shock, known as storage demand shocks, due to difficulties in identifying these distinct ... -
Uncertainty and the Term Structure of Interest Rates
Cross, Jamie L.; Poon, Aubrey; Zhu, Dan (CAMP Working Paper Series;12/2023, Working paper, 2023-10-13)We present a new stylized fact about the link between uncertainty and the term structure of interest rates: Unexpectedly heightened uncertainty elicits a lower, steeper, and flatter yield curve. This result is established ... -
Unveiling inflation: Oil Shocks, Supply Chain Pressures, and Expectations
Aastveit, Knut Are; Bjørnland, Hilde C.; Cross, Jamie L.; Kalstad, Helene Olsen (CAMP Working Paper Series;05/2024, Working paper, 2024-07-05)This paper demonstrates that inflation expectations have acted as significant amplifiers of recent global demand and supply shocks, thereby playing a crucial role in maintaining inflation at relatively high levels. This ...
