This paper evaluates how different lengths of entry regulation impact market structure and market performance using a dynamic structural model. We formulate an oligopoly model in the tradition of Ericson and Pakes (1995) and allow entry costs to vary over time. Firms have the opportunity to...

We present a new Fair Queuing policy adapted to low-bandwidth flows, and preventing discrepancy which is encountered under almost all of the existing Fair Queuing policies. Unlike Packet-by-packet Generalized Processos Sharing PGPS and its version Worst-case Fair, Fair Queuing WF2Q which...

In this article, we revisit the Friday the 13th effect discussed by Kolb and Rodriguez (1987) that has received increased interest in recent research. Using a dummy-augmented GARCH model, we investigate whether the occurrence of this superstitious calendar day has significant impact on the...

In this paper we consider the problem of interpreting the signs of the estimated coefficients in multivariate time series regressions where the regressors are correlated. Using a continuous time model, we argue that focussing on the signs of individual coefficients in such regressions could be...

This paper introduces a novel approach for dealing with the 'curse of dimensionality' in the case of large linear dynamic systems. Restrictions on the coefficients of an unrestricted VAR are proposed that are binding only in a limit as the number of endogenous variables tends to infinity. It is...

In a first time we draw a rough shape of a general formal framework for polynomial approximation theory which encompasses the existing one by allowing the expression of new types of results. We show how this framework incorporates all the existing approximation results and, moreover, how new...

Lexical parsing is the whole set of techniques to increase from a raw text to a sequence of tagged words ; these tags are morphological and grammatical information. Lexical parsing generally uses an electronic dictionary. But a few of them accommodate themselves to proper nouns that are a...

Une methodologie alternative aux modeles multicriteres fondes sur l'etude economique et financiere de la firme est proposee afin d'estimer le risque de defaut des entreprises et d'elaborer un indicateur du risque de faillite. Nous recourons a une methode de Gestion Actif - Passif d'estimation...

En traitement automatique de la langue naturelle, l'analyse lexicale d'un texte est faite a partir de dictionnaires electroniques. Ceux-ci comportent tres peu de Noms Propres. Un travail de collecte des toponymes (noms de lieux) et gentiles (noms d'habitants) pour la France a ete mene. 55508...

In this paper, we study almost periodic (a.p.) solutions of discrete dynamical systems. We first adapt some results on a.p. differential equations to a.p. difference equations, on the link between boundedness of solutions and existence of a.p. solutions.
