• Accounting for Individual-Specific Heterogeneity in Intergenerational Income Mobility 

      Chang, Yoosoon; Durlauf, Steven N.; Hu, Bo; Park, Joon Y. (CAMP Working Paper Series;03/2024, Working paper, 2024-02-21)
      This paper proposes a fully nonparametric model to investigate the dynamics of intergenerational income mobility. In our model, an individual’s income class probabilities depend on parental income in a manner that accommodates ...
    • Common Trends and Country Specific Heterogeneities in Long-Run World Energy Consumption

      We employ a semiparametric functional coefficient panel approach to allow an economic relationship of interest to have both country-specific heterogeneity and a common component that may be nonlinear in the covariate and ...
    • The Influence of Fiscal and Monetary Policies on the Shape of the Yield Curve 

      Chang, Yoosoon; Gómez-Rodríguez, Fabio; Matthes, Christian (CAMP Working Paper Series;02/2024, Working paper, 2024-01-23)

    • 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 ...
    • Oil Prices Uncertainty, Endogenous Regime Switching, and Inflation Anchoring 

      Chang, Yoosoon; Herrera, Ana María; Pesavento, Elena (CAMP Working Paper Series;02/2023, Working paper, 2023-02-27)
      Using a novel approach to model regime switching with dynamic feedback and interactions, we extract latent mean and volatility factors in oil price changes. We illustrate how the volatility factor constitutes a useful ...
