This paper deals with efficient estimation in exchangeable nonlinear dynamic panel models with common unobservable factor. The specification accounts for both micro- and macro-dynamics, induced by the lagged individual observation and the common stochastic factor, respectively. For large...

In this paper we explain how to use the rating histories provided by theinternal scoring systems of banks and by rating agencies in order to predictthe future risk of a given borrower or of a set of borrowers. The method isdeveloped following the steps suggested by the Basle Committee. To...

The recursive prediction and filtering formulas of the Kalman filter are difficult to implement in nonlinear state space models. For Gaussian linear state space models, or for models with qualitative state variables, the recursive formulas of the filter require the updating of a finite number of...

In this paper we are interested in inference problems on the matrix of coefficients in a multivariate linear model; in particular we consider tests on the kernel, the range and the rank of this matrix. Various test procedures are explicited and compared: (pseudo) likelihood ratio, Wald (or...
