Bayesian Inference for Joint Estimation Models Using Copulas to Handle Endogenous Regressors

open access: yesOxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study proposes a Bayesian approach for finite‐sample inference of the Gaussian copula endogeneity correction. Extant studies use frequentist inference, build on a priori computed estimates of marginal distributions of explanatory variables, and use bootstrapping to obtain standard errors. The proposed Bayesian approach facilitates precise

Systemic risk in the insurance sector: A semi‐parametric approach based on Spearman's rho

open access: yesRisk Management and Insurance Review, EarlyView.
Abstract We propose a new method to measure systemic risk in the global insurance sector by analyzing interconnectedness among firms under different market conditions. Using a semi‐parametric approach that relies on the Spearman correlation and copula‐based partial dependence, we assess relationships in relatively stable, extremely bullish, and ...

Modal Logic and Modal Metaphysics: An Avicennian Division of Labour

open access: yesTheoria, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper argues that Avicenna was both a necessitarian and a realist about contingency. The two aspects of his modal metaphysics are reconciled by arguing that Avicenna's modal metaphysics is founded on realism about essences: strictly speaking, an individual has no contingent properties, but a modal distinction can be made between the ...

(Co‐)Reference All the Way Down: A Unified Theory of (Pro) Nominals in Ordinary English

open access: yesTheoria, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This essay joins two themes, both arising from Kripke's inspiring ideas in the theory of reference. The first theme concerns reference in general. The second examines the notion of co‐reference and the role it plays in a unified theory of pronouns for natural language.

Testing Copula Hypothesis with Copula Entropy

open access: yes
Testing copula hypothesis is of fundamental importance in the applications of copula theory. In this paper we proposed a copula hypothesis testing with copula entropy. Since copula entropy is a unified theory in probability and therefore testing copula hypothesis based on it can be applied to any types of copula function.
