Econometric models and methods with especial reference to the financial sector

This thesis has as its focal point an analysis of the role and effect of financial behaviour in large-scale economy-wide econometric models. The modelling of financial behaviour in this setting has three aspects to it: the monetary sector itself, the transmission mechanism of monetary policy and the feed-back mechanism of real behaviour to the monetary sector.Section I, Chapters 1-7, deals with two specific aspects of the transmission mechanism: the valuation of corporate equity and corporate cost of capital and wealth channels of monetary policy via the dividend price ratio. The research reported is largely empirical but methodological issues thrown up by the empirical work are also discussed.Section II, Chapter 8-13, of the thesis is addressed to the specification, estimation, testing and application of large-scale models designed to analyse the role and effect of financial behaviour on three-1s2022G-22economies: the U.S., the Canadian and the W. German economies. Some of the research is empirical but much of it is critical appraisal. Section II also deals with methods relevant to estimating and testing in interdependent systems. These seek to analyse the structure of linear methods algebraically and geometrically, and are studied largely for their own ii sake.The principal source of data for constructing large-scale models relies on the Keynesian national income accounting framework and most models - studied have a bias in this direction. Section III, Chapters 16 and 17, looks at the main methodological alternative put forward in the literature, namely, reduced form 'monetarist' models. The purpose here is to analyse what underlies this approach and to appraise its strengths and weaknesses.

Abstract

This thesis has as its focal point an analysis of the role and effect of financial behaviour in large-scale economy-wide econometric models. The modelling of financial behaviour in this setting has three aspects to it: the monetary sector itself, the transmission mechanism of monetary policy and the feed-back mechanism of real behaviour to the monetary sector.Section I, Chapters 1-7, deals with two specific aspects of the transmission mechanism: the valuation of corporate equity and corporate cost of capital and wealth channels of monetary policy via the dividend price ratio. The research reported is largely empirical but methodological issues thrown up by the empirical work are also discussed.Section II, Chapter 8-13, of the thesis is addressed to the specification, estimation, testing and application of large-scale models designed to analyse the role and effect of financial behaviour on three-1s2022G-22economies: the U.S., the Canadian and the W. German economies. Some of the research is empirical but much of it is critical appraisal. Section II also deals with methods relevant to estimating and testing in interdependent systems. These seek to analyse the structure of linear methods algebraically and geometrically, and are studied largely for their own ii sake.The principal source of data for constructing large-scale models relies on the Keynesian national income accounting framework and most models - studied have a bias in this direction. Section III, Chapters 16 and 17, looks at the main methodological alternative put forward in the literature, namely, reduced form 'monetarist' models. The purpose here is to analyse what underlies this approach and to appraise its strengths and weaknesses.
