Hétérogénéité des prévisionnistes: une exploration des anticipations sur le marché des changes
No full textForecaster Heterogeneity: An Investigation of the Expectations of Foreign Exchange Forecasters . Ronald MacDonald and Ian W. Marsh . Adatabase of individual forecasters' exchange rate predictions is analysed. We demonstrate that only a small subgroup of forecasters can be described as rational, that some forecasters are significantly more accurate than others, and that this heterogeneity of expectations is positively related to trading volume in the futures market. [fre] Hétérogénéité des prévisionnistes : une exploration des anticipations sur le marché des changes . Ronald MacDonald et Ian W. Marsh . Une base de données individuelles d'anticipations sur les taux de change est exploitée. On montre que seulement un sous-groupe de prévisionnistes peut être considéré comme rationnel, que certains agents prévoient significativement mieux que d'autres, et que cette hétérogénéité des anticipations est positivement liée aux montants des transactions sur le marché futur des monnaies
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Catching Up: The Role of Demand, Supply and Regulated Price Effects on the Real Exchange Rates of Four Accession Countries
Full text linkThe main aim of this paper is to examine the exchange rate behavior of a group of four transitional, EU accession countries, with a view to making policy recommendations regarding their accession to full European Monetary Union. We employ a dynamic OLS panel estimator to investigate the relative importance of demand and supply influences on the exchange rates of these countries. Our analysis shows that both supply- and demand-side effects are important for the accession countries, although their overall effect on inflation differentials and competitiveness seems to be small. An additional focus of the paper is the examination of the role that administrated, or regulated, prices and the productivity of the distribution sector play in the real exchange rate dynamics. Based on a unique database we show that administrated prices have been a powerful force behind price and real exchange developments for our group of accession countries. The distribution sector is shown to have an independent effect on the internal price ratio over-and-above that generated by the BS effect.exchange rates, monetary integration, EMU
