Preface
In the past few decades there has been a surge of interest in modeling of economic relationships using nonlinear models. Economic theory often suggests that the relationships between major economic and financial variables are nonlinear. For example, the law of one price starts to apply only when the deviation from it generates enough profits to exceed the involved transaction or transportation costs in the arbitrage activities (see, e.g., Michael, Nobay, and Peel (1997) Lo and Zivot (2001)). It is also often argued that business cycles are asymme
