This thesis comprises three essays. The first two chapters address topics in commodity markets and their interaction with derivative and other asset markets. The third essay deals with the effects to and from fiscal policy that arise due to the structure of the relationship between central and regional governments. Finance and applied econometrics constitute the common thread for these articles. The first two take a financial economics and financial econometrics perspective, while the third essay addresses a topic of public finance with an empirical approach. The first chapter offers an explanation for volatile oil prices. Using information from options and futures I document economically large jump tail premia in the crude oil market which can be related to investors' "fear". These premia vary substantially over time and significantly forecast crude oil futures and spot returns. The results suggest that oil futures prices overshoot (undershoot) in the presence of upside (downside) tail fears in order to allow for smaller (larger) risk premia thereafter. The second essay relates the comovement of stock and commodity prices to increased participation of financial investors in commodity future markets. I present a partial equilibrium model in which demand for futures by financial investors transmits stock market shocks into commodity prices via a time varying risk premium. Empirically, I find that commodity index investors react systematically to stock market shocks by adjusting their commodity risk exposure. In the third chapter, joint with Abián García Rodríguez, we investigate the relationship between fiscal decentralization - the share of government spending and taxation carried out at the subnational level - and fiscal policy effects. Using a cross-section of countries, we document a positive relationship between decentralization and the effectiveness of fiscal policy as measured by the size of fiscal multipliers. We also present a case study for the decentralization process in Spain and find that it had a positive impact on output growth.

This edited collection concerns nonlinear economic relations that involve time. It is divided into four broad themes that all reflect the work and methodology of Professor Timo Teräsvirta, one of the leading scholars in the field of nonlinear time series econometrics. The themes are: Testing for linearity and functional form, specification testing and estimation of nonlinear time series models in the form of smooth transition models, model selection and econometric methodology, and finally applications within the area of financial econometrics. All these research fields include contributions that represent state of the art in econometrics such as testing for neglected nonlinearity in neural network models, time-varying GARCH and smooth transition models, STAR models and common factors in volatility modeling, semi-automatic general to specific model selection for nonlinear dynamic models, high-dimensional data analysis for parametric and semi-parametric regression models with dependent data, commodity price modeling, financial analysts earnings forecasts based on asymmetric loss function, local Gaussian correlation and dependence for asymmetric return dependence, and the use of bootstrap aggregation to improve forecast accuracy. Each chapter represents original scholarly work, and reflects the intellectual impact that Timo Teräsvirta has had and will continue to have, on the profession.

Professor Richard Quandt has made a major contribution to the development of economics in the 20th century. The range and significance of his work has long required a collection of his essays which will allow his contribution to be assessed as a whole. Despite an early interest in microeconomic theory, Richard Quandt has devoted most of his career to econometrics and, in particular, modal split estimation. More recently his work has focused on the econometrics of disequilibrium models with reference to both free market and planned economies. As well as outlining his many articles in microtheory, general econometrics, disequilibrium modeling, financial economics and the economics of planned economies, this collection should have a particular value for all scholars interested in the emergence of the new economies in Eastern Europe, a subject to which Professor Quandt has applied himself in recent years. This book includes an introduction by Professor Quandt describing his early life in Budapest and the circumstances which led him to study economics in America.

Abstract: This dissertation is composed of three chapters centering on nonparametric econometrics with applications to consumer demand system analysis, value-at-risk analysis of commodity future prices, and credit risk analysis of home mortgage portfolios. The first chapter, based on my joint research with Abdoul Sam considers a semiparametric estimation model for a censored consumer demand system with micro data. A common attribute of disaggregated household data is the censoring of commodities. Maximum likelihood and existing two-step estimators of censored demand systems yield biased and inconsistent estimates when the assumed joint distribution of the disturbances is incorrect. This essay proposes a semiparametric estimator that retains the computational advantage of the two-step methods while circumventing their potential distributional misspecification. The key difference between the proposed estimator and existing two-step counterparts is that the parameters of the binary censoring equations are estimated using a distribution-free single-index model. We implement the proposed estimator using household-level data obtained from the Hainan province in China. Horrowitz and Härdle (1994)'s specification test lends support to our approach. The second chapter is an empirical application of a nonparametric estimator of Value-at-Risk on the cattle feeding margin. Value-at-Risk, known as VaR is a common measure of downside market risk associated with an asset or a portfolio of assets. It has been used as a standard tool of predicting potential portfolio losses for twenty years in the financial industry. Recently VaR has gained popularity in agricultural economics literature since the market price risks associated with agricultural commodities are under evaluation. As initial empirical findings suggest that the performance of any VaR estimation technique is sensitive to the types of data set (portfolio composition) used in developing and evaluating the estimates, agricultural data provides a unique laboratory to further explore VaR and its estimation approaches. This essay as a first attempt applies a distribution-free nonparametric kernel estimator of VaR in an agricultural context, the cattle feeding margin using futures data. The empirical results suggest that the nonparametric VaR estimates enjoy a significant efficiency gain without losing much accuracy compared to the parametric estimates. The third chapter measures credit risks associated with residential mortgage loans. Credit risk is the primary source of risk for real estate lenders. Recent advancements in the measurement and management of credit risk give lenders with sophisticated internal risk models a significant comparative advantage over other lenders in terms of capital optimization and risk controlling. This manuscript helps understand the determinants of credit risk and acquire perspectives on how it is distributed in the current or future loan portfolios. This essay contributes to the existing volume of literature as it incorporates the nonparametric estimation technique into default risk analysis. The CreditRisk model is modified and estimated using the consumer side of information. The model identifies the factors determining household default risks and generates a full loan loss distribution at the portfolio level using consumer finance survey data. In the end, portfolio management strategies are discussed.

Over the last two decades there has been a great deal of research into nonlinear dynamic models in economics, finance and the social sciences. This book contains twenty papers that range over very recent applications in these areas. Topics covered include structural change and economic growth, disequilibrium dynamics and economic policy as well as models with boundedly rational agents. The book illustrates some of the most recent research tools in this area and will be of interest to economists working in economic dynamics and to mathematicians interested in seeing ideas from nonlinear dynamics and complexity theory applied to the economic sciences.
