Hacia un modelo estocástico eficiente para la valoración de activos financieros basado en el volumen de negociación: fundamentos teóricos e implementación práctica
Mientras que, dentro del Análisis Técnico, el volumen como variable sujeta a estudio ocupa un lugar de especial significación, en el análisis cuantitativo financiero, salvo algunas y remarcables excepciones, su importancia es bastante menor, cuando no marginal. La relativa escasez de fuentes bibliográficas es paralela a la falta de interés casi inherente a la investigación precio-volumen desde sus orígenes. No obstante, siendo ésta la principal razón que justifica el hecho de que no se haya ahondado lo suficiente en su estudio, podemos encontrar otras causas que le han impedido avanzar, causas por otro lado extrapolables a cualquier otra investigación cuantitativa que se sitúe al margen del análisis cuantitativo “convencional”. Entre esas causas destacaríamos: 1. Razones coyunturales y estructurales 2. Estandarización 3. Problemas de orden operativo
Oil Price Uncertainty
The relationship between the price of oil and the level of economic activity is a fundamental issue in macroeconomics. There is an ongoing debate in the literature about whether positive oil price shocks cause recessions in the United States (and other oil-importing countries), and although there exists a vast empirical literature that investigates the effects of oil price shocks, there are relatively few studies that investigate the direct effects of uncertainty about oil prices on the real economy. The book uses recent advances in macroeconomics and financial economics to investigate the effects of oil price shocks and uncertainty about the price of oil on the level of economic activity.

Growth in Sub-Saharan Africa
The paper investigates empirically the determinants of economic growth for a large sample of sub-Saharan African countries during 1981-92. The results indicate that (i) an increase in private investment has a relatively large positive impact on per capita growth; (ii) growth is stimulated by public policies that lower the budget deficit in relation to GDP (without reducing government investment), reduce the rate of inflation, maintain external competitiveness, promote structural reforms, encourage human capital development, and slow population growth; and (iii) convergence of per capita income occurs after controlling for human capital development and public policies.

Oil Shocks and External Balances
This paper studies the effects of demand and supply shocks in the global crude oil market on several measures of countries' external balance, including the oil and non-oil trade balances, the current account, and changes in net foreign assets (NFA) during 1975-2004. We explicitly take a global perspective. In addition to the U.S., the Euro area and Japan, we consider a number of country groups including oil exporters and middle-income oil-importing economies. We find that the effect of oil shocks on the merchandise trade balance and the current account, which depending on the source of the shock can be large, depends critically on the response of the nonoil trade balance, and differs systema...
