NONLINEARITY AND MARKET EFFICIENCY IN GCC STOCK MARKETS
Alharbi, Abdullah M. H. - 2009
will probably be irrelevant in doing empirical analysis. Existence of nonlinearity in financial markets has been argued by … regarded nonlinearity tests. In addition, the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) was tested in this dissertation for the GCC … stock markets using both the standard linear approach and the more sophisticated nonlinearity tests. Since most of the …

Banking and economic growth : case of the Gambia
Bukhari M. S. Sillah - 2005
This research advances four theoretical approaches in an attempt to relate the banking activities to the real economic activities. It starts with the Schumpeter’s circular flow of creditary production that argues that the banks start the production cycle for offering the credits that enable...

Finding Optimal Targets for Change Agents: A Computer Simulation of Innovation Diffusion
Maienhofer, Dirk; Finholt, Thomas A. - 2002
We introduce a diffusion of innovation model based on a network threshold approach. Realistic network and threshold data were gathered regarding the diffusion of new software tools within part of a large organization. Novel model features are a second threshold for innovation rejection and a...

A small, macroeconometric model of the Australian economy : with an emphasis on modelling wages and prices
McHugh, Zoe D. - 2004
Traditional macroeconometric models of the Australian economy estimate the behaviour of wage and price inflation separately, thereby ignoring the possibility that there is a contemporaneous relationship between these two variables. This thesis follows a recent trend emerging in other small open...

A Dynamic Equilibrium Model of Real Exchange Rates with General Transaction Costs
GOSWAMI, GAUTAM; SHRIKHANDE, MILIND; WU, LIUREN - 2002
We study the behavior of real exchange rates in a two-country dynamic equilibrium model. In this model, consumers can only consume domestic goods but can invest costlessly in capital stocks of both countries. Nevertheless, transporting goods between the two countries is costly and, hence, the...

Sample Size and Robustness of Inferences from Logistic Regression in the Presence of Nonlinearity and Multicollinearity
Bergtold, Jason S.; Yeager, Elizabeth A.; Featherstone, … - 2011
The logistic regression models has been widely used in the social and natural sciences and results from studies using this model can have significant impact. Thus, confidence in the reliability of inferences drawn from these models is essential. The robustness of such inferences is dependent on...
