It allows for the integration of a high-frequency event study into a mixed-frequency structural model where agents are faced with genuine news shocks. The empirical strategy also proposes an innovative way of modeling expectations in the presence of structural breaks (rather than recurrent regime switching).
Lecture schedule on 15 - 16 May
In the lectures, Professor Ludvigson will apply the mixed-frequency structural approach to central bank news. Yet, applications can address the reasons for jumps in markets or other types of returns and indices around any kind of news.
| Monday May 15: Lectures | 9:30-12:00 and 14:00-16:30 |
| Tuesday May 16: Lectures | 9:30-12:00 and 14:00-16:30 |
