In this chapter we provide a guide for the construction, use and evaluation of leading
indicators, and an assessment of the most relevant recent developments in this field of …

This paper begins to explore the determinants of the topological properties of the
international-trade network (ITN). We fit bilateral-trade flows using a standard gravity …

We investigate whether the gravity model (GM) can explain the statistical properties of the
International Trade Network (ITN). We fit data on trade flows with a GM using alternative …

We study the changing international transmission of financial shocks over the period 1971–
2012. Global financial shocks are measured as unexpected changes of a US financial …

This paper investigates the transmission of US macroeconomic shocks to Germany using a

In this paper, we study the effects of US policy uncertainty—measured as the policy
uncertainty index of Baker et al.(Measuring economic policy uncertainty, 2013)—on Swedish …

This paper explores the time variation in the stock–bond correlation using high-frequency
data. Gradual transitions between regimes of negative and positive stock–bond correlation …

With the support of spatial-temporal data analysis technologies and network science, the
International Trade Network (ITN) research has made significant progress, demonstrating …
