Measuring Nonlinear Serial Dependencies Using the Mutual Information Coefficient
Journal Title: Dynamic Econometric Models - Year 2010, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
Construction, estimation and application of the mutual information measure have been presented in this paper. The simulations have been carried out to verify its usefulness to detect nonlinear serial dependencies. Moreover, the mutual information measure has been applied to the indices and the sector sub-indices of the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

On the Interpretation of Causality in Granger’s Sense
The concept of causality formulated in 1969 by C.W.J. Granger is mostly popular in the econometric literature. The central assumption of the concept is the fact that the cause precedes the effect and can help in forecast...
The Share of European Economies in the Process of Convergence of Long-term Interest Rates in the EU in the Period of 2006–2016
The paper refers to the process of convergence of interest rates of ten-year government bonds emitted by EU countries. It is an attempt to assess the participation of particular European economies in this process. The pr...
Density Forecasts Based on Disaggregate Data: Nowcasting Polish Inflation
The paper investigates gains in performance of density forecasts from models using disaggregate data when forecasting aggregate series. The problem is considered within a restricted VAR framework with alternative sets of...
