Should Music Labels Pay for Radio Airplay? Investigating the Relationship Between Album Sales and Radio Airplay

Montgomery, Alan L.; Moe, Wendy W. - 2002

Managers in the music industry closely monitor both radio airplay of an album as well as the album's sales. Their interest in radio airplay is due to the belief that airplay can increase an album’s sales. Therefore it is natural for managers to attempt to influence radio airplay so as to...

Folded Variance Estimators for Stationary Time Series

Antonini, Claudia - 2005

This thesis is concerned with simulation output analysis. In particular, we are inter-ested in estimating the variance parameter of a steady-state output process. The estimationof the variance parameter has immediate applications in problems involving (i) the precisionof the sample mean as a...

Noise Ratio As a Non-Nested Model Selection Tool.

Kurmanj, Agir - 2009

In this dissertation, we analyze whether the noise ratio statistic of Durlauf and Hall (1989), NRT, can be used as a non-nested model selection tool in a similar fashion to the Rivers and Vuong (2002) framework. For this purpose, we first show that, when scaled by the sample size T, NRT is...
