This paper employs response surface regressions based on simulation experiments to calculate asymptotic distribution functions of the tests for cointegration proposed by Johansen. The paper provides accurate tables of asymptotic critical values. A program which can be used to calculate both...

We propose a test for spatial correlation in Probit models that is a joint test for exclusion of spatially lagged-dependent variables and absence of spatial-error correlation. We give a maximum-likelihood justification for the test but use a simulations approach rather than relying on its...

The purpose of this thesis was to study the reliability and the accuracy of GPS positioning in Palm Beach and Broward counties.

Simplex is a geometric figure which is extensively used in economic theory. Depending on the needs of the theory, a simplex S is sometimes cut with a hyperplane H, which separates it into two parts T and T'. It may be useful to appreciate the manner in which the simplex in cut. One mode of...

We consider a class of stochastic mathematical programs with complementarity constraints, in which both the objective and the constraints involve limit functions or expectations that need to be estimated or approximated.Such programs can be used for modeling average or steady-state behavior of...
