Testing for cointegration using the Johansen methodology when variables are near-integrated

E Hjalmarsson, P Österholm - 2007 - papers.ssrn.com
We investigate the properties of Johansen's (1988, 1991) maximum eigenvalue and trace
tests for cointegration under the empirically relevant situation of near-integrated variables. …

New methods for inference in long-horizon regressions

E Hjalmarsson - Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, 2011 - cambridge.org
I develop new results for long-horizon predictive regressions with overlapping observations.
I show that rather than using autocorrelation robust standard errors, the standard t-statistic …

Characteristic-based mean-variance portfolio choice

E Hjalmarsson, P Manchev - Journal of Banking & Finance, 2012 - Elsevier
We study empirical mean-variance optimization when the portfolio weights are restricted to
be direct functions of underlying stock characteristics such as value and momentum. The …

Efficiency in housing markets: Which home buyers know how to discount?

E Hjalmarsson, R Hjalmarsson - Journal of Banking & Finance, 2009 - Elsevier
We test for efficiency in the Swedish co-op market by examining the negative relationship

Testing the expectations hypothesis when interest rates are near integrated

M Beechey, E Hjalmarsson, P Österholm - Journal of Banking & Finance, 2009 - Elsevier
Nominal interest rates are unlikely to be generated by unit-root processes. Using data on
short and long interest rates from eight developed and six emerging economies, we test the …
