Stochastic simulation with antithetic variates is used to evaluate the bias of deterministic simulation in nonlinear econometric models. Application to the Klein-Goldberger model exemplifies the potentiality of the method.

When dealing with nonlinear econometric models, resort is often made to simulation techniques for the investigation of their dynamic properties. A spectral analysis using stochastic and analytic simulation is carried out on a nonlinear model of the Italian economy. The two approaces are...

This paper presents a Monte-Carlo study on the practical reliability of numerical algorithms for FIML-estimation in nonlinear econometric models. The performance of different techniques of Hessian approximation in trust-region algorithms is compared regarding their "robustness" against "bad"...

The stochastic simulation of an econometric model is an application of Monte Carlo methods. Deterministic simulation is performed setting error terms to zero. Stochastic simulation, on the contrary, takes into account the disturbance terms, solving the model after adding a vector of...

This paper determines the value of asset tradeability in an option pricing framework. In our model, tradeability is valuable since it allows investors to exploit temporary mis-pricings of stocks. The model delivers several novel insights on the value of tradeability: The value of tradeability is...
