On modeling the volatility in speculative prices
… in Mis-Specification(M-S) testing leads to respecification strategies from the original Normal-(V)AR models to the St-(V)AR models. The results from formal Mis-Specification (M-S) tests and forecasting performance indicate that the St-(V)AR models provide a more appropriate way to model …

A Retrospective View of the Phillips Curve and Its Empirical Validity since the 1950s
… statistically adequate models produced from the respecification with the same data suggest new understandings of the main variables' behaviors. The dissertations' findings from the representative papers cast doubt on the traditional narrative of the Phillips curve, which the representative papers …
