Olfactory fMRI Connectivity Analysis Based on Granger Causality with Application in Anosmia Assessment

In this work, we describe hubs organization within the olfactory network with Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). Granger causality analyses were applied in the supposed regions of interest (ROIs) involved in olfactory tasks, as described in [1]. We aim to get deeper knowledge about the hierarchy of the regions within the olfactory network and to describe which of these regions, in terms of strength of the connectivity, impair in different types of anosmia.

Granger causality and systemic risk

Building on the concept of Granger causality in risk in Hong et al. (2009), and focusing on an international sample of large-capitalization banks, we test for predictability in comovements in the left tails of returns of individual banks and the global system. The main results show that large individual shocks (defined as balance-sheet contractions exceeding the 1% VaR level) are a strong predictor of subsequent shocks in the global system. This evidence is particularly strong for US banks with large desks of proprietary trading. Similarly, we document strong evidence of financial vulnerabilities (exposures) to systemic shocks in US subprime creditors.

Análise de casualidade de Granger, função impulso resposta e decomposição da variância do preço do suíno vivo nos mercados gaúchos e catarinense no período de 2008 a 2014

Atualmente a carne suína é a mais consumida no mundo, sendo o Brasil o quarto maior produtor. Este trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a relação do preço pago ao produtor de suíno por meio da análise dos preços do suíno vivo pagos aos produtores no Rio Grande do Sul e Santa Catarina, procurou-se comparar as diferenças e o comportamento entre as matrizes de produção destes dois Estados, para explicar o comportamento dos preços pagos aos produtores. Através dos resultados obtidos, constatou-se que os preços médios pagos aos produtores gaúchos foram historicamente maiores que os preços pagos aos produtores catarinenses. Por meio do Teste de Causalidade de Granger, Função Impulso Resposta e Decomposição da Variância, pode-se concluir que os preços pagos aos produtores de suíno integrados em Santa Catarina no passado, influenciam na formação dos preços pagos aos produtores independentes de suíno no Rio Grande do Sul no presente, ao mesmo tempo que os preços pagos aos produtores independentes gaúchos no passado influenciam na formação dos preços pagos aos produtores em Santa Catarina.

Property investment, construction and economic growth : the case of Malaysia

It is generally accepted that there is a close relationship between property investment and construction activity. The construction sector plays a crucial role in economic development, especially for a developing nation such as Malaysia. However, the volume of new properties added to the property market is only a fraction of the total volume of the property market. Is the conventional assumption of the relationship between property investment and construction supported by empirical data? This paper revisits the tripartite relationships between economic growths, property investment and construction activities with official Malaysian 2000Q1-2010Q4 quarterly time series data. The Granger causality tests are used to establish the causality runs from the GDP to the value of property transactions, and the growth of construction activities to GDP growth. The result is expected to be useful for policymakers and industrial practitioners in formulating industrial policies and corporate strategies.
