歐元的問世，代表的是從1970年代固定匯率被打破以來，世界金融體系最大一次的變革，其對全球之金融及社會文化有很深遠的意義；因此，有關美國與歐元區間之匯率、利率及物價關係的探討遂成為國際金融市場所關心的焦點之一；本文以Frankel (1992)所提出衡量國際間資本移動性的三種利率平價說：拋補利率平價說(Covered Interest Parity，CIP) 、無拋補利率平價說 (Uncovered Interest Parity，UIP)、實質利率平價說 (Real Interest Parity，RIP)為基礎，來檢驗此三種利率平價說是否成立。在實證方法上，本文以Dickey & Fuller (1979,1981)之ADF單根檢定來確定變數之數列特性，再採Johansen (1988)之最大概似估計法，對CIP、UIP與RIP進行實證分析。實證結果發現，於1999 年 1 月至 2004 年 7 月期間，美國與歐元區間 CIP 與 UIP 同時成立，表示當兩國資產報酬率有差異時，可以經由國際間資本的移動，使得報酬率最後有趨於相等的傾向；並且接受遠期匯率為未來即期匯率的不偏估計值之虛無假設，顯示歐元與美元間外匯市場具有效率性。另外，本文之實證結果並不支持 RIP 的成立，其有可能歐元區與美國在編制物價指數時，所使用的物價項目和比重情況不同而異，因此難以表示出公正之匯價；再者由於現實之貨幣、商品市場之不完全，與人民不一定能完全預期及存在貨幣幻覺等許許多多未考慮因素下，故在諸多驗證 RIP之文獻中，亦大多顯示無法找到其均衡之平價關係。 / The emergence of Eurodollar exemplified a significant reformation in the world financial system since the fixed rate had been broken in 1970, which brings far-reaching significance to the global finance and social culture. Therefore some discussions on exchange rate, interest rate and price relationship in the range of US Dollar and Eurodollar are one of focuses the international financial market concerns; On the basis of the three kinds of interest rate parity Frankel brought forward (1992) including Covered Interest Parity (CIP), Uncovered Interest Parity (UIP) and Real Interest Parity (RIP), this research mainly proves their feasibility. For the empirical methods, the Dickey & Fuller (1979, 1981)’s ADF unit root test was used to confirm the characteristics of variable series in this research; additionally, Johansen’s maximum likelihood method (1988) was adopted to do the empirical analysis on CIP, UIP and RIP. Based on the empirical results, we found out that the CIP and UIP are tenable simultaneously in the range of tenable US Dollar and Eurodollar from 1999 January to 2004 July. That means when return on asserts between two counties has some differences, it would become towards equality lastly on the basis of international capital mobility. And the null hypothesis that the forward rate is an unbiased predictor of the future spot rate can be employed, revealing the foreign exchange market in the range of Eurodollar and US Dollar has certain efficiency. Additionally, The empirical results of this research do not support the RIP, because it would vary with different prices and proportion used while making the price index in the range of Eurodollar and US Dollar, and cannot present equitable exchange rate; furthermore, because of imperfect current currency and commodity markets, and many unconsidered factors such as people’ incompletely anticipation and money illusion, most researches for validating RIP fail to find out its balanced parity relation.

本文研究目的係以台灣作實證研究，針對這樣一個逐漸開放的小型經濟體系，分析影響其短期利率變動的因素，並驗證其短期利率的變動是否僅受到國外因素（如國外利率）變動的影響，或者是僅受到國內因素（如預期物價膨脹、貨幣供給、景氣、財政及市場資金狀況等）變動的影響，亦或者是兩者皆有。本文以1989年4月到2004年12月這段期間月資料的時間數列為樣本，利用Dickey & Fuller(1981)之ADF單根檢定法來確定變數之數列特性，並採用Johanson (1988)所提出最大概似估計法來分析影響台灣短期利率變動的因素。本文實證結果顯示，台灣31-90天商業本票利率與消費者物價指數年增率、實質經濟成長率、意外貨幣成長、美國三個月國庫券利率、國庫券發行餘額及金融機構平均淨超額準備皆為I(1)數列，並具有一組共整合關係，顯示彼此間具有共同趨勢。其中商業本票與消費者物價指數年增率、實質經濟成長率、意外貨幣成長及美國三個月國庫券利率呈現顯著正向關係，而與金融機構平均淨超額準備呈現顯著負向關係，由此可知，台灣短期利率不僅受到國內因素的影響,亦同時受到國外因素的影響。 / The purpose of this paper is to analyze the determinants of short-term interest rate variation in Taiwan. This paper attempts to examine whether the external factors or internal factors influence the volatility of the short-term rate in Taiwan. ADF unit root test is adopted to check the characteristics of variable series; Johansen’s maximum likelihood method is used to analyze the determinants of short-term interest rate variation in Taiwan based on monthly data from April 1989 to December 2004.The empirical results shows that the rate of commercial paper, consumer price growth rate, real economic growth rate, unanticipated M2 growth rate, U.S. treasury bill rate, balance on treasury bill and net excess reserves are I(1) time series. Besides, those variables have one cointegration relationship with common trend. Specifically, the rate of commercial paper is significantly positively correlated with consumer price growth rate, real economic growth rate, unanticipated M2 growth rate and U.S. treasury bill rate, and is significantly negatively correlated with net excess reserves. Therefore, the variation of short-term interest rate in Taiwan is determined by both external and internal factors.

New keynesian Phillips curve (NKPC) has become a central model to study the relation between inflation and real economic activity, notably in the framework of optimal monetary policy design. However, some recent evidence suggests that empirical data are usually at odds with the underlying theory. The model due to its inherent structure represents a statistical challenge in its own right. Since Galí and Gertler (1999) published their seminal paper introducing estimation via GMM techniques, they have triggered a heated debate on its empirical relevance. Their approach has been heavily criticised by later authors, mainly on the grounds of questionable behaviour of GMM estimator in the NKPC context and/or its small sample properties. The common criticism includes sensitivity to the choice of instrument set, weak identification and small sample bias. In this thesis I propose a new estimation strategy that provides a remedy to above mentioned shortcomings and allows to obtain reliable estimates. The procedure exploits recent advances in GMM theory as well as in other fields of statistics, in particular in the area of time series factor analysis and bootstrap. The proposed estimation strategy consists of several consecutive steps: first, to reduce a small sample bias resulting from excessive use of instruments I summarize all available information by employing factor analysis and include estimated factors into information set. In the second step I use statistical information criteria to select optimal instruments and eventually I obtain confidence intervals on parameters using bootstrap method. In NKPC context all these methods were used for the first time and can also be used independently. Their combination however provides synergistic effect that helps to improve the properties of estimates and to check the efficiency of given steps. Obtained results suggest that NKPC model can explain Czech inflation dynamics fairly well and provide some support for underlying theory. Among other things the results imply that the policy of disinflation may not be as costly with respect to a loss in aggregate product as earlier versions of Phillips curve would indicate. However, finding a good proxy for real economic activity has proved to be a difficult task. In particular we demonstrated that results are conditional on how the measure is calculated, some measures even showed countercyclical behaviour. This issue -- in the thesis discussed only in passing -- is a subject of future research. In addition to the proposed strategy and provided parameter estimates the thesis brings some partial simulation-based findings. Simulations elaborate on earlier literature on naive bootstrap in GMM context and study performance of bootstrap modifications of unit root and KPSS test.

本研究分別利用傳統 OLS、誤差修正模型以及 Bivariate GARCH 模型研究以摩根台股指數期貨規避台灣股價指數的避險效果，現貨部分除了摩根台股指數現貨之外，亦考慮了台灣加權股價指數，目的在於瞭解摩根指數期貨的避險效果，並提出未來台灣加權股價指數上市後一套研究指數期約避險績效的研究架構。 本研究實證結果發現： (1)將台灣加權股價指數、摩根台股指數現貨以及摩根台股指數期貨的每日收盤價取對數值，並且依照避險期間分為三種情況，利用 ADF(Augmented Dicky and Fuller)進行單根檢定，結果顯示三個時間數列皆非定態(stationary)。 (2)時間數列取一階差分之後，視為指數的報酬率，同樣利用 ADF 進行單根檢定，結果顯示三個時間數列呈現定態(stationary)，亦即時間列服從 I (1)。此時，報酬的迴歸式存在具有實質意義。進行供整合檢定之結果顯示，無論是台灣加權指數與摩根台股指數期貨市場間，或是摩根台股指數之現貨與期貨市場間存在長期穩定之均衡關係。因此欲研究現貨與期貨市場的避險比率，應考慮誤差修正項。 (3)在加權股價指數與摩根指數期貨間避險效果方面： 1.在樣本內實證中，傳統 OLS 除了在避險期間為每日的情況之外，所造成投資組合變異數降低幅度較大，有較好的樣本內避險效果表現。 2.在樣本外實證中，傳統 OLS 無論在何避險期間，所造成投資組合變異數降低幅度較小，其避險效果皆較差。 3.避險誤差均方根比較方面，傳統 OLS 表現較差。 (4)在摩根台股指數現貨與摩根指數期貨間避險效果方面 1.在樣本內實證中，傳統 OLS 在各避險期間，所造成投資組合變異數降低幅度較大，有較好的樣本內避險效果表現。 2.在樣本內實證中，傳統 OLS 無論在何避險期間，其避險效果差皆較差。 3.避險誤差均方根比較方面，同樣以傳統 OLS 表現較差。 / Investors of Taiwan Stock Market have been long lack of hedging tools. SIMEX has provided a new merchant, MSCI Taiwan Index Future on January 9,1997. In addition, Taiwan Futures Exchange is going to run on July, 1998. Though investors are still not familiar with the new derivatives. Futures will be the new markets in Taiwan and it is the right time for us to analyze it. This research use different econometrics methods to check if it is a good hedge tool for the investors. The results are as followed. 1.The time series of MSCI Taiwan Index futures, MSCI Index Spots and Taiwan Weighted Index are not stationary. They are integrated of order 1. 2.There exist cointegrations between MSCI Taiwan Index futures and MSCI Index Spots, in addition to MSCI Taiwan Index futures and Taiwan Weighted Index. 3.OLS Regression, Error Correction Model and Bivariate GARCH Model are applied to find the optimal hedge retio. Among them, the hedge ratios of Bivariate GARCH Model are dynamic while the other two are constant. 4.According to the in-sample hedging effects results, the OLS are outstanding. The low variance of hedging portfolios and the reduction percentage compared to the no-hedged portfolios prove that. 5.Investors may care more about the out-sample results. From the table we know that Error Correction Model and Bivariate GARCH Model perform better than OLS, especially when the time period is longer. 6.When we check the RMSE, we get the same conclusion that OLS is the worst one among the three methods.

中國大陸於1979年開始進行經濟改革，廣開經濟之門，大量吸收外資來活 潑各項經濟建設活動，正逐步邁向計劃商品經濟的新體制。其中，成立中 國鄭州市場的構想，乃至於正式開業，是大陸傳統社會主義的大改變，表 徵以市場機能為中心的資本主義在大陸抬頭，是應計劃經濟體制必需與自 由市場互相協調配合之經改政策的具體結果。中國鄭州商品交易所與上海 金屬交易所、深圳有色金屬交易所並稱為大陸三大期貨市場，占大陸期貨 總交易量的80％，深受舉世所矚目，成功與否，對大陸經改及形成亞太經 濟圈都具有重要意義。通常期貨市場加入純現貨市場經濟體系，對於穩定 價格和經濟發展有其正面貢獻。本文將探討中國大陸現階段如何建立期貨 市場？如何對大陸傳統經濟體制造成影響與挑戰？目前發展到甚麼程度？ 如何善加利用自由經濟體制的市場機能來成功的發展期貨市場？本文欲對 大陸目前尚在初級水準的期貨市場提出意見，甚至期待其能發展成全球性 期貨市場。本文對全中國大陸期貨市場將作一全面性的概觀、對幾個主要 的期貨交易所作一重點式的簡介，然後進入本文重點，亦即對中國鄭州商 品交易所作詳細探討，包括其運作狀態、市場效率性等，以下是本文內容 。時間數列的資產價格大多為具有單根的非穩定性變數的特性已廣被接受 ，非穩性變數使傳統的F-統計量或t-統計量會得出不正確的檢定結果及估 計。本文採用 Engle & Granger(1987)的二階段估計法，首先以 Dickey & Fuller (1981) 的單根檢定 (ADF unit root test) 得出鄭州 交易所及芝加哥交易所的期貨價格為具有單根的時間數列，其次以 Engle & Granger (1987) 的共整合檢定方法，得出對於才自1993年5月28 日成立的中國大陸鄭州商品交易所與自1865年即開始期貨交易的美國芝加 哥期貨交易所 ( CBOT) 同種商品之間，包括小麥、玉米及大豆，不具共 整合關係，推論此二市場目前尚沒有長期穩定均衡關係，亦即此二市場為 區隔性 ( seg- mented) ，而非共整合性 (cointegrated) 。反之，對鄭 州交易所內不同商品的期貨價格作兩兩共整合檢定，呈現相當高的共整合 現象，隱含一種商品的期貨價格可以被另一種商品的期貨價格所預測 (predictability)，違反市場效率性的假說，故本文得出結論：中國大陸 鄭州商品交易所成立至今短短十個月 (截至1994年3月底止之資料)，尚不 具市場效率性。 / It is now widely accepted that financial price series are generally not stationary and consequently, conventional statisti- cal procedures like F-statistic and t-statistic are no longer appropriate for testing market efficiency and estimation. Since nonstationary variables have infinite variance that make the F- test or t-test invalid, the standard hypothesis testing does not apply to time series with unit roots. This article adopts Engle and Granger's (1987) two-stage estimation. Firstly, apply augu- mented Dickey & Fuller unit root test (1981) to the argricultur markets are with unit roots which means both time series variables are nonstationary. Secondly, apply Engle & Granger's (1987) Cointegration Test to test whether the cointegration relationship, including wheat, corn and soybean futures market, between CZCE and CBOT exists or not, the former one is established on May 28th, 1993 in Mainland China and the latter one is established since 1865 in the United States. The result is the wheat, corn and soybean futures prices in these two markets are not cointegrated which implys by now these two markets have no longterm equilibrium relationship, also implys CZCE and CBOT are segmented, not cointegrated. On the contrary, applying Engle & Granger's (1987) Cointegration Tests to test the different argriculture futures market in CZCE, cointegration can not be rejected. That implys one argriculture futures price can be predicted by other argriculture futures price and the market efficiency hypothesis is rejected. Therefore this article has the following conclusion : the empirical results by now presented the rejection of the market efficiency hypothesis for three argriculture products -- wheat, corn, and soybean -- traded on China Zhengzhou Commodities Exchange.

Partendo dalla constatazione della sempre maggiore complessità del contesto economico e sociale nazionale ed internazionale, imputabile da un lato al processo di integrazione economico e monetario europeo, e dall'altro alla progressiva decentralizzazione dei poteri a livello regionale, la tesi intende proporsi come uno strumento analitico di supporto al decisore. A tal fine, in base a dati annui di fonte ISTAT-SVIMEZ per il periodo 1970-2003, viene sviluppato un modello econometrico regionale 'globale' per il mercato del lavoro italiano, estendendo un precedente modello mono-regionale proposto da Baussola (2003), ad un contesto pluri-regionale. Il modello conduce non solo a rappresentare soddisfacentemente i mercati regionali italiani, ma opera altresì efficacemente nel ricostruire i valori delle variabili a livello nazionale. Il modello si conferma robusto ed efficace nel rappresentare le realtà regionali, anche nell'ottica di analisi propria dell'econometria delle serie storiche. / The starting point of this thesis is the remark that recent decades have been characterized by a rising complexity in the economic and political context both at the national and international level. This is due both to the European economic and monetary integration process and to the regional decentralisation process. With the aim of providing a useful tool of analysis for the decision-maker,. a 'global' regional model for the Italian labour market has been constructed on the basis of annual data from ISTAT-SVIMEZ over the 1970-2003 period. This model could be viewed as an extension to a multi-regional framework of the previous one-region model developed by Baussola (2003). The model shows good performance not only in representing regional labour market specificities, but also in reproducing national variable values. It is also robust and effective in a time-series context.

本研究係探討匯率與總體經濟之關聯性，以中國大陸1996第一季至 2013年第一季之總體經濟變數，共計樣本數為69筆季資料。先以1996第一季至 2013年第一季全期數據進行實證分析。再以2005年7月為分界點，分為1996年第一季至2005年第二季及2005年第三季至2013年第一季數據分別進行實證分析。 本論文就REER、GDP、CPI、M2、UNEMP、CHIBOR、FDI、OPEN等總體經濟變數，以單根檢定及建構向量自我迴歸模型進行實證分析，並以Granger因果關係檢定、衝擊反應分析及預測誤差變異數分解，以了解匯率與總體經濟相互間之關係。 實證結果發現，中國大陸匯率與總體經濟間的關係自2005年7月21日匯率改革後逐漸增強，但整體言之匯率與總體經濟間之傳導能力仍然不大，人民幣匯率的變動主要受其自身影響較多，受總體經濟變數的相互影響較小，顯示其外匯市場的開放程度與一個真正開放的經濟體還是有些許差距。 / This research examines the correlation between foreign exchange rates and macroeconomics by using the data of economic variables of China from the 1st quarter of 1996 to the 1st quarter of 2013. The sample contains 69 quarterly data during the entire period, while the reform of Chinese exchange rate on 21st July 2005 is a crucial division. In order to find the correlation between foreign exchange rates and macroeconomics, the research examines the economic variables such as REER, GDP, CPI, M2, UNEMP, CHIBOR, FDI, and OPEN by using unit root test, vector autoregression model, Granger causality test, impulse response function and variance decomposition impulse response function. The result of the tests indicates that after the reform of Chinese exchange rate on 21st July 2005, the correlation between exchange rates and macroeconomics has been enhanced, but the connection is not prominent. In other words, the fluctuation of Renminbi is mainly affected by the nation’s policy instead of its macroeconomic factors. Hence, the openness of the Chinese foreign exchange market is still distant from a real open economy.

Utilizando testes lineares tradicionais e através da reprodução de testes não lineares TAR de Enders e Granger (1998) e ESTAR Kapetanios e Shin (2003) conclui-se que a hipótese de expectativas não é totalmente válida para a ETTJ do Brasil, além disso, são encontradas evidências de não linearidade nas séries de spreads que demandam mais pesquisa sobre o assunto. / This dissertation has the aim to evaluate one of the implications of expectation hypothesis in Brazilian term structure of interests. Using traditional linear tests and through the reproduction of nonlinear Threshold Autoregressive (TAR) tests of Enders and Granger (1998) and Exponential Smooth Transition Autoregressive (ESTAR) of Kapetanios and Shin (2003) the conclusion is that expectation hypothesis is not totally valid for Brazil, besides that, some evidences of non-linearity in spreads series were found then more research is needed on the subject.
