This paper studies the least squares estimator (LSE) of the multiple-regime threshold autoregressive (TAR) model and establishes its asymptotic theory. It is shown that the LSE is strongly consistent. When the autoregressive function is discontinuous over each threshold, the estimated thresholds...

In this paper we discuss the calibration issues of power models built on mean-reverting processes combined with long memory. The unknown parameters of fractional mean-reversion processes are estimated by a hybrid estimation method, which is built upon the marriage of the quadratic variation and...

which the transitional density is a multivariate Gaussian density with first and second moments approximating the true … moments of the unknown density. For affine drift and diffusion functions, the moments are exactly those of the true … transitional density and for nonlinear drift and diffusion functions the approximation is extremely good and is as effective as …

We investigate statistically the characteristics, functioning and incidence of pre-emptive patenting, defined as patent filings whose main effect is to hamper the grant of other patents. Patent applications can be used to prevent the grant of exclusive rights on markets and technologies to...

Understanding and quantifying the determinants of the number of sectors or firms exporting in a given country is of relevance for the assessment of trade policies. Estimation of models for the number of exporting sectors, however, poses a challenge because the dependent variable has both a lower...

This paper estimates ordered logit models for bank ratings which include a country index to capture country-specific variation. The empirical findings support the hypothesis that the individual international bank ratings assigned by Fitch Ratings are underpinned by fundamental quantitative...

The present study uses the conditional demand model to analyse end use electricity demand. It also uses Binary logistic model to find out likelihood of households being affected from electricity crises. The model also uses household’s characteristics and ownership of modern appliances as...
