In this book, Andrew Harvey sets out to provide a unified and comprehensive theory of structural time series models. Unlike the traditional ARIMA models, structural time series models consist explicitly of unobserved components, such as trends and seasonals, which have a direct interpretation. As a result the model selection methodology associated with structural models is much closer to econometric methodology. The link with econometrics is made even closer by the natural way in which the models can be extended to include explanatory variables and to cope with multivariate time series. From the technical point of view, state space models and the Kalman filter play a key role in the statistical treatment of structural time series models. The book includes a detailed treatment of the Kalman filter. This technique was originally developed in control engineering, but is becoming increasingly important in fields such as economics and operations research. This book is concerned primarily with modelling economic and social time series, and with addressing the special problems which the treatment of such series poses. The properties of the models and the methodological techniques used to select them are illustrated with various applications. These range from the modellling of trends and cycles in US macroeconomic time series to to an evaluation of the effects of seat belt legislation in the UK.

There Is a Risk–Return Trade-Off After All

Globalization, if defined as the integration of international commodity markets, started in the eighteenth century and progressed gradually and with some setbacks into the nineteenth century, instead of suddenly appearing at some point after the 1820s. We use grain prices in Europe and the Americas to determine the extent and dynamics of market integration throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. An innovative methodology, with special attention being paid to changes in residual dispersion of the univariate models of relative prices between markets, permits us to obtain a measure of market integration over time.

The Integration of Grain Markets in the Eighteenth Century: Early Rise of Globalization in the West

espanolEste articulo describe una metodologia que permite contrastar la convergencia absoluta y relativa del nivel general de precios (en media y varianza), basada en un modelo de precios relativos que incluye un proceso de transicion y permite medir la velocidad de convergencia de precios entre un conjunto de paises o regiones. Aplicamos esta metodologia considerando el nivel de precios de los paises miembros de la Union Monetaria desde 2001 hasta 2011 y encontramos distintos patrones de comportamiento para las series precios de los paises miembros, asi como la falta de convergencia en el largo plazo para la mayoria de estos. Asi, atendiendo al diferencial de precios entre paises, solo encontramos convergencia absoluta de precios, con diferencial igual a cero, cuando comparamos el nivel de precios aleman con el frances y el italiano. Por otra parte, solo un subconjunto de paises muestra convergencia relativa, con un diferencial de precios constante distinto de cero. Estos resultados revelan la existencia de un «coste de convergencia» pagado por los paises con menor nivel de precios, que no tiende a cero en el largo plazo cuando no existe convergencia. Ello resultaria de interes para los responsables de la politica monetaria, ya que evidencia el efecto desigual de dicha politica en los paises miembros de la EMU. Se recomienda la prevision y seguimiento de la convergencia (relativa y absoluta) del nivel de precios en la zona euro para entender la eficiencia de la politica monetaria a largo plazo. EnglishThis article provides a methodology to test absolute and relative price convergence (in mean and variance) based on a model of relative prices that includes a transition path, and offers a way to measure the speed of price convergence across countries. By applying this test to the European Monetary Union (EMU) price indices from 2001 to 2011, we ﬁ nd empirical evidence of different price level patterns and the lack of price level convergence in the long run for most countries. In terms of the price gap between countries, only when we compare the German with French and Italian prices, we do get zero-gap (absolute) price level convergence. A few other countries report relative price level convergence. These results underscore the existence of a “convergence cost” that EMU countries with lower price levels paid and that does not tend toward zero in the long-term in the absence of convergence. This ﬁ nding might be of particular interest to European monetary policymakers as it implies that implemented monetary policy does not affect (beneﬁ t/harm) all EMU members equally. Monitoring the relative and absolute price level convergence is advised to understand the monetary policy efﬁ ciency in the long run.

Eurozone prices: a tale of convergence and divergence

This paper addresses two important topics in recent economic historiography: globalization and the great divergence. We first present a search for statistical evidence in the Far East of an “Early Globalization” comparable to the one ongoing in the West since the mid-eighteenth century. Moreover, we analyze the extent of the integration of rice markets in Central southeast China and Japan during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and its functioning in comparison with Western countries. Finally, the relevance of our findings for the debate on the great divergence is discussed. Our primary conclusions are as follows: (1) in contrast to the West, no international integration of the grain markets existed in the Far East during the Early Modern Era; (2) significant levels of domestic market integration were reached in some Far Eastern countries; (3) integration of the domestic grain markets may be reached through various combinations of agents and policies with dissimilar effects on long-run economic growth, which are better in the West and worse in the Far East. We suggest that the absence of an “Early Globalization” in the Far East reveals the existence of certain economic and institutional limitations in this part of the world that may have made contribution to its “Great Divergence” with the West from at least the eighteenth century.

State-Space Methods for Time Series Analysis: Theory, Applications and Software

Fixed coecients State-Space and VARMAX models are equivalent, meaning that they are able to represent the same linear dynamics, being indistinguishable in terms of overall fit. However, each representation can be specically adequate for certain uses, so it is relevant to be able to choose between them. To this end, we propose two algorithms to go from general State-Space models to VARMAX forms. The rst one computes the coecients of a standard VARMAX model under some assumptions while the second, which is more general, returns the coecients of a VARMAX echelon. These procedures supplement the results already available in the literature allowing one to obtain the State-Space model matrices corresponding to any VARMAX. The paper also discusses some applications of these procedures by solving several theoretical and practical problems.
