This paper estimates depth of reasoning in an Iterative Best Response model using data from Weber (<CitationRef CitationID="CR20">2003</CitationRef>) ten-period repeated guessing game with no feedback. Different mixture models are estimated and the type (Level-0, Level-1, etc) of each player is determined in every round using the...</citationref>

This paper proposes finite mixtures of different Archimedean copula families as a flexible tool for modelling the dependence structure in multivariate data. A novel approach to estimating the parameters in this mixture model is presented by maximizing the penalized marginal likelihood via...

We explore the micro price setting behavior using micro data of the consumer price index (CPI) in Japan. We estimate price hazard functions by the finite mixture model with multiple spells allowing the heterogeneity among price setters. Our estimation supports these striking findings. First,...

This study aims to identify which factors explain why some countries enjoy long durations of stability, while others experience crises in shorter intervals. We analyze the duration of stability periods between currency, debt, and banking crises by employing an innovative econometric strategy,...

Ce papier fournit des arguments historiques et empiriques dont le but est d?expliquer le développement du secteur informel en Egypte. Après avoir rappelé les différentes approches proposées dans la littérature, il identifie la configuration du marché du travail Egyptien tout en permettant...

The aim of this paper is to identify which factors explain why some countries are more prone to enjoy long durations of stability, while others experience crises in shorter intervals. To this end, we analyze the duration of stability periods between currency, debt, and banking crises from 1980...

Diagnosing foehn winds from weather station data downwind of topographic obstacles requires distinguishing them from other downslope winds, particularly nocturnal ones driven by radiative cooling. We present an automatic classification scheme to obtain reproducible results that include...
