    • Spillovers from US monetary policy: evidence from a time varying parameter global vector auto-regressive model 

      Crespo Cuaresma, Jesus; Doppelhofer, Gernot Peter; Feldkircher, Martin; Huber, Florian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The paper develops a global vector auto-regressive model with time varying parameters and stochastic volatility to analyse whether international spillovers of US monetary policy have changed over time. The model proposed ...
    • Strictly for the birds? On ecosystem services of forage fish 

      Hannesson, Røgnvaldur (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Small pelagic fish like sardine, anchovy and herring feed on zooplankton and are in turn prey for fish higher up in the food chain. They are therefore expected to play a vital role in transfer of energy between levels ...
