Bootstrapping Time-Varying Uncertainty Intervals for Extreme Daily Return Periods

This study aims to overcome the problem of dimensionality, accurate estimation, and forecasting Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES) uncertainty intervals in high frequency data. A Bayesian bootstrapping and backtest density forecasts, which are based on a weighted threshold and quantile of a continuously ranked probability score, are developed. Developed backtesting procedures revealed that an estimated Seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average-generalized autoregressive score-generalized extreme value distribution (SARIMA–GAS–GEVD) with a skewed student-t distribution had the best prediction performance in forecasting and bootstrapping VaR and ES. Extension of this non-stationary distribution in literature is quite complicated since it requires specifications not only on how the usual Bayesian parameters change over time but also those with bulk distribution components. This implies that the combination of a stochastic econometric model with extreme value theory (EVT) procedures provides a robust basis necessary for the statistical backtesting and bootstrapping density predictions for VaR and ES.

This study extracts the common factors from firm-based credit spreads of major Japanese corporate bonds and examines the predictive content of the credit spread on the real economy. Instead of employing single-maturity corporate bond spreads, we focus on the entire term structure of the credit spread to predict the business cycle. We extend the dynamic Nelson-Siegel model to allow for both common and firm-specific factors. The results show that the estimated common factors are important drivers of individual credit spreads and have substantial predictive power for future Japanese economic activity. This study contributes to the literature by examining the relationship between firm-based credit spread curves and economic fluctuation and forecasting the business cycle. Full article

We propose a comprehensive approach for the analysis of real economy and government sector risk transmission to the banking system and apply it in ten Euro-Area countries from 2005 to 2017. A flexible methodology is developed to model banks’ assets according to the risk-adjusted balance sheet of the counterparts. The use of distance to distress as a popular risk metric shows that Contingent Claims Analysis underestimates banks risk in stable periods and overstates it during crisis. Furthermore, the approach succeeds in detecting spillovers from households, non-financial corporations and sovereign sectors: for the countries examined the main source of instability comes from the Non-Financial Corporation sector and its increased assets volatility.

Population, Income, and Farmland Pricing in an Open Economy
by Huijian Dong and Xiaomin Guo

Abstract
Farmland valuation models usually incorporate local purchasing power as one of the pricing factors. A plausible rationale is that a larger population and higher income per capita imply increasing demand for agricultural products and farmland.

Farmland valuation models usually incorporate local purchasing power as one of the pricing factors. A plausible rationale is that a larger population and higher income per capita imply increasing demand for agricultural products and farmland. In this paper, we study the relationship between the agricultural land prices, the regional population, and income per capita in an open economy setting in nominal and real variable terms using data from 1929 to 2018 at the state level. We show that in most areas of the United States, agricultural land prices are less affected by the state population or personal income. The valuation of agricultural land should not factor in the local purchasing power factors, with a few exceptions. Full article
