      There is increasing evidence of associations between the presence of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and tinnitus. It has been recently proposed that tinnitus patients with TMJ complaints could constitute a subtype, ...
    • Modelling clusters of corporate defaults: Regime-switching models significantly reduce the contagion source 

      Berentsen, Geir Drage; Bulla, Jan; Maruotti, Antonello; Støve, Bård (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      In this paper, we report robust evidence that the process of corporate defaults is time-dependent and can be modelled by extending an autoregressive count time series model class via the introduction of regime-switching. ...
