Finite Sample Analysis of Weighted Realized Covariance with Noisy Asynchronous Observations [PDF]
In this paper, we provide a framework to evaluate finite sample MSE of several realized covariance estimators when using nonsynchronous observations contaminated with microstructure noise. This framework enables us to examine different estimators.

Among 132 older adults, 13 had peripheral artery disease (PAD), identified using the ankle–brachial index. Over approximately 13 months, PAD was associated with increasing middle cerebral artery mean flow velocity, with a significant difference in left‐sided velocity change between groups.

Identification of dynamic economic models from reduced form VECM structures: an application of covariance restrictions [PDF]
This analysis is a straightforward implementation of both long-run and short-run identifying or overidentifying restrictions on a vector error correction model in the "structural VAR" framework.

Covariance matrix estimation methods for constrained portfolio optimization in a South African setting [PDF]
One of the major topics of concern in Modern Portfolio Theory is portfolio optimization which is centred on the mean-variance framework. In order for this framework to be implemented, esti- mated parameters (covariance matrix for the constrained portfo ...

The Geography of Success: A Spatial Analysis of Export Intensity in the Italian Wine Industry
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the paradox of how Italy's fragmented, SME‐dominated wine industry achieves global export success. Moving beyond purely firm‐centric explanations, we test whether export intensity is spatially dependent, clustering geographically in regional ecosystems.

Testing of a Structures Covariance Matrix for Three-Level Repeated Measures Data. [PDF]
This paper considers the problem of estimating, and testing for, a Kronecker product covariance structure of three-level (multiple time points (p), multiple sites (u), and multiple response variables (q)) multivariate data.

Protection Motivation Theory and Farmers' Participation in Futures Markets: Evidence From Germany
ABSTRACT This study examines why German farmers show limited adoption of commodity futures contracts despite substantial price volatility, applying Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) to understand the cognitive processes driving participation decisions in futures markets. Survey data from 303 German farmers collected in 2024 were analyzed using Partial

Weather Attention in Online Discourse and Price Uncertainty in Agricultural Futures Markets
ABSTRACT Weather is a central determinant of production risk in agricultural markets, but markets respond not only to weather conditions themselves, but also to how those conditions are noticed, framed, and interpreted in public discourse. In this setting, real‐time online weather discussions may shape price uncertainty by influencing how market ...
