We introduce a mixed-frequency score-driven dynamic model for multiple time series where the score contributions from high-frequency variables are transformed by means of a mixed-data sampling weighting scheme. The resulting dynamic model delivers a flexible and easy-to-implement framework for...

We consider unobserved components time series models where the components are stochastically evolving over time and are subject to stochastic volatility. It enables the disentanglement of dynamic structures in both the mean and the variance of the observed time series. We develop a simulated...

The demand for air transport is largely determined by the spending capacity of customers. Thispaper aims to offer more insight into the determinants of price elasticities in the aviation sector. Itseeks to identify both common and contrasting factors that influence the price elasticities, on...

The concept of resilience has received a great deal of attention in the past decades. Starting fromthe first fundamental definitions offered by Holling, Pimms and Perrings in an economic-ecologicalmodeling context, the present paper explores the ‘evolution’ of the resilience concept – as...

Environmental sustainability issues have in recent years received much attention from the side ofenvironmental scientists and economists. There is a broad recognition on the relevance of externaleffects in open and interacting spatial systems. It would be helpful if ecological economic...

International and interregional trade and transport are on the rise and hence, there is a clear needfor reliable estimates of transport flows. However, the available databases and estimation methodsare not yet satisfactory for analytical and predictive purposes.In this paper we explore the use...

This paper aims to analyze and depict urban equilibrium from the perspective of acomplex force field between (positive) agglomeration economies and (negative) environmentalexternalities. Based on a simplified representation of a linear urban economy, anarchetypical model based on general...

The paper revisits the problem of wage bargaining between a firm and multiple workers. We show that the Subgame Perfect Equilibrium of the extensive-form game proposed by Stole and Zwiebel (1996a) does not imply a profile of wages and profits that coincides with the Shapley values as claimed in...

The linear Gaussian state space model for which the common variance istreated as a stochastic time-varying variable is considered for themodelling of economic time series. The focus of this paper is on thesimultaneous estimation of parameters related to the stochasticprocesses of the mean part...

Pesticide use in agriculture poses several risks to both human health and non-target agro-ecosystems. Due to lack of information on the monetary value of reducing pesticide risks, it is difficult to perform an economic analysis that addresses social efficiency of policy and draws conclusions...
