Do Bank Capital Requirements Make Resource Allocation Suboptimal?
by Sangkyun Park
Abstract
Bank capital requirements would entail large social costs if they made resource allocation suboptimal and banking services costly by unduly limiting the banks’ ability to lend.

Vector Error Correction Models with Stationary and Nonstationary Variables
by Pu Chen
Abstract
Vector Error Correction Models (VECM) have become a standard tool in empirical economics for analyzing nonstationary time series data because they integrate two key concepts in economics: equilibrium and dynamic adjustment in a single model. The current standard VECM procedure is limited to time series data with the same degree of integration, i.e., all I(1) variables. However, [...] Read more
