Book Do Mechanical Filters Provide a Good Approximation of Business Cycles

Download or read book Do Mechanical Filters Provide a Good Approximation of Business Cycles written by Alain Guay and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, the authors examine how well the Hodrick-Prescott filter (HP) and the band-pass filter recently proposed by Baxter and King, 1995 (BK) extract the business-cycle component of macroeconomic time series. The authors assess these filters using two different definitions of the business-cycle component. First, they define that component to be fluctuations lasting no fewer than six and no more than 32 quarters; this is the BK definition of business-cycle frequencies. Second, they define the business-cycle component on the basis of a decomposition of the series into permanent and transitory components. A simulation study assesses how well these filters retrieve the cyclical component of a time series composed of a random walk and a transitory component. The authors also compare the cyclical component resulting from the application of the HP and BK filters with those obtained with the detrending methods proposed by Watson (1986) and Cochrane (1994) for United States output. Alternative methods are proposed to identify the business-cycle component.

Book Financial Institutions Management

Download or read book Financial Institutions Management written by Anthony Saunders and published by McGraw-Hill Ryerson. This book was released on 2001 with total page 772 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text focuses on the risks faced by managers of financial institutions and the methods and markets through which these risks are managed. The context is the Canadian financial services industry. The text begins with thumbnail sketches of the industry, its member companies, their structures and the regulatory environment. It looks not only at banks but also at insurance companies, trust companies, credit unions, investment banks and finance companies, providing a holistic view of the challenges of liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit and other risks in the global environment.This highly regarded text continues to take the same innovative approach as the first edition, focusing on managing return and risk. The book's central theme is that the risks faced by financial institution managers, and the methods and markets through which these risks are managed, are essentially the same, whether the institution is a commercial bank, an investment bank, a credit union, an insurance company or a finance company. A second theme that emerges in this edition is that the risks booked by the financial institution use risk capital and generate an expected return that should justify that use. The authors explain the latest techniques of risk measurement against the backdrop of the convergence of worldwide securities, investment, credit and insurance industries.

Book Measuring Liquidity in Financial Markets

Download or read book Measuring Liquidity in Financial Markets written by Abdourahmane Sarr and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2002-12 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides an overview of indicators that can be used to illustrate and analyze liquidity developments in financial markets. The measures include bid-ask spreads, turnover ratios, and price impact measures. They gauge different aspects of market liquidity, namely tightness (costs), immediacy, depth, breadth, and resiliency. These measures are applied in selected foreign exchange, money, and capital markets to illustrate their operational usefulness. A number of measures must be considered because there is no single theoretically correct and universally accepted measure to determine a market's degree of liquidity and because market-specific factors and peculiarities must be considered.
