Mardi | 2013-10-01 salle des thèses Emilia COROVEI – Simona MUTU Generally, the incentives of banks to stock liquid assets are driven by two reasons: the precautionary motive and the speculative motive. Using bank-specific balance sheet data this paper provides empirical evidence of the main drivers of liquidity hoarding behavior in the European banking system during 2004-2011. We propose a time-varying approach to distinguish between liquidity hoarding and non-hoarding banks. The methodology is based on the First Difference GMM estimator […]

Mercredi | 2013-09-18 B103 Aurélien LEROY – Désiré KANGA – Yannick LUCOTTE This paper examines the implications of banking competition for the interest rate channel in Eurozone over the period 2003-2010. Using an Error Correction Model (ECM) approach to measure the long and short-run relationship between money market rates, bank interest rates, and our competition proxy, the Lerner index, we find that competition (i) reduces the bank lending interest rates, (ii) increases the long-term interest pass-through and, (iii) speeds up […]

Mardi | 2013-06-25 B103 Sébastien GALANTI – Zahra BEN BRAHAM Financial analysts issue “buy”, “sell” or “hold” recommendation about stocks. Recommendations have value if investors trade upon them, which should affect prices and trading volumes. We use the methodology of event study to analyze price and volume reaction to the recommendation release. With a database of 2359 recommendations about 55 companies on the Tunisian Stock Exchange (BVMT) from 2005 to 2009, we show that prices and volumes react significantly to […]

Mardi | 2013-06-11 salle des thèses Badi H. BALTAJI – Alain PIROTTE This paper derives the Best Linear Unbiased Predictor (BLUP) for a spatial nested error components panel data model. This predictor is useful for panel data applications that exhibit spatial dependence and a nested (hierarchical) structure. The predictor allows for unbalancedness in the number of observations in the nested groups. One application includes forecasting average housing prices located in a county nested in a state. We derive the BLUP […]

Mardi | 2013-06-04 B103 Neslihan SAKARYA – Robert DE JONG The Hodrick-Prescott (HP) filter is a commonly used tool in macroeconomics, and is used to extract a trend component from a time series. In this paper, we derive a new representation of the transformation of the data that is implied by the HP fi lter. This representation highlights that the HP filter is a weighted average plus a number of adjustments that are important near the begin and end of […]
