POST CRISIS BANKING SECTOR REGULATION AND EUROPEAN UNION ECONOMIC GROWTH NEXUS by Ivica Klinac, Roberto Ercegovac, Mario Pečarić

“… The objective of this paper is to examine the impact of the new banking regulation on the European Union real economic activity in the period following the global financial crisis using a sample of 22 listed banking groups with high systemic importance, using dynamic panel models with a one-step GMM estimator. Higher regulatory capital and liquidity requirements are the main consequences of the global financial crisis, the pro-cyclical contraction of bank credit, and the advanced adaptive consolidation of the banking sector. …”

On Local Linear Approximations to Diffusion Processes by X. L. Duan, Z. M. Qian, W. A. Zheng

“…In general, the maximum likelihood functions for diffusion models are not available, hence it is difficult to derive the exact maximum likelihood estimator (MLE). There are many different approaches proposed by various authors over the past years, see, for example, the excellent books and Kutoyants (2004), Liptser and Shiryayev (1977), Kushner and Dupuis (2002), and Prakasa Rao (1999), and also the recent works by Aït-Sahalia (1999), (2004), (2002), and so forth. …”
