This chapter provides an overview of solution and estimation techniques for dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models. We cover the foundations of numerical approximation techniques as well as statistical inference and survey the latest developments in the field.

This paper proposes a simple generalization of the classical measurement error model, introducing new measurement errors that subtract signal from the true variable of interest, in addition to the usual classical measurement errors (CME) that add noise. The effect on OLS regression of these lack...

This paper deals with the development of efficient numerical solvers for the primitive equations of the ocean in turbulent regime. We derive the numerical approximation of a reduced model by the Smagorinsky turbulence model that includes stabilization of the pressure discretization by a penalty...

The ground thermal conductivity and borehole thermal resistance are essential parameters for the design of a ground source heat pump system. As it is hardly possible to obtain sufficiently accurate values of these parameters from geological or soil-profile information, thermal response tests...

Energy forecasts are widely used by the U.S. government, politicians, think tanks,and utility companies. While short-term forecasts were reasonably accurate, medium andlong-range forecasts have almost always been highly erroneous. In the U.S. many energypolicy decisions are driven by Annual...

This paper presents results from an experimental manipulation of one versus multiple-items per screen format in a Web survey.The purpose of the experiment was to find out if a questionnaire s format influences how respondents provide answers in online questionnaires and if this is depending on...
