US deficit sustainability revisited: A multiple structural change approach
2008
In this article we re-examine the long-run sustainability of US budget deficits, using Bai and Perron's multiple structural change approach. While the deficit would have been weakly sustainable over the full sample (1947:1–2005:3), strong sustainability would appear only between January 1982 and February 1996.
Moving closer? Comparing regional adjustments to shocks in EMU and the United States
2020
Highlights • Interstate migration is the main adjustment channel to labor demand shocks for the US. • EMU countries adjust through changes in labor force participation and unemployment. • Price flexibility is more important as a shock absorber for EMU. • Risk-sharing mechanisms have been more effective in the US than in the EMU. • The strength of these channels has increased for EMU ad declined for the United States.
Toward empirically based criteria for the classification of somatoform disorders
1999
Abstract There is a major need for an empirical evaluation of classification criteria for somatoform disorders. The present study analyzes psychometric properties of the existing criteria for somatization disorder. The full sample consisted of 324 patients seeking help because of “psychosomatic problems.” Data from a subsample of carefully diagnosed patients with somatization syndrome (n=76) and a clinical comparison group (n=32) permitted the analysis of the discriminative power of items. Twenty-one somatic symptoms adopted from DSM-IV and ICD-10 criteria did not exhibit the necessary psychometric characteristics (item probability, item-total correlation, etc.). Thirty-two somatic symptoms…
Asymmetric semi-volatility spillover effects in EMU stock markets
2018
Abstract The aim of this paper is to quantify the strength and the direction of semi-volatility spillovers between five EMU stock markets over the 2000–2016 period. We use upside and downside semi-volatilities as proxies for downside risk and upside opportunities. In this way, we aim to complement the literature, which has focused mainly on the contemporaneous correlation between positive and negative returns, with the evidence of asymmetry also in semi-volatility transmission. For this purpose, we apply the Diebold and Yilmaz (2012) methodology, based on a generalized forecast error variance decomposition, to downside and upside realized semi-volatility series. While the analysis of Diebol…
Abstract P2-05-04: Gene expression associated with poor prognosis of young TNBC patients
2015
Abstract Background: Among TNBC patients those of very young age (<40 years) display a significantly worse prognosis (Liedtke et al. 2013 Breast Cancer Res Treat). We verified this result in 1161 TNBC samples with full Affymetrix gene expression data of which 845 patients had both detailed age and follow up information. Materials and Methods: We split the full sample set into a finding cohort of 394 TNBC and a validation cohort of 767 TNBC encompassing 309 and 536 samples, respectively, with both age and follow up data. We then used significance analysis of microarrays (SAM) in the finding cohort to look for genes whose expression is associated with young age (<40 years). Iden…
