Using the FEER approach we investigate the long-run equilibrium paths of the real effective exchange rates (REERs) of countries in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU). In an attempt to address econometric estimation uncertainty, we employ both single-country (Johansen and ARDL)...

The effect of 12 different combinations of diffuse–global correlations and tilted surface radiation models on the accuracy of PV output simulation of a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system was studied using statistical methods. A site specific diffuse–global correlation was developed...

In this paper, we propose a panel data semiparametric varying-coefficient model in which covariates (variables affecting the coefficients) are purely categorical. This model has two features: first, fixed effects are included to allow for correlation between individual unobserved heterogeneity...

In this paper, we focus on the building of an invariant distribution function associated to a non-stationary sample. After discussing some specific problems encountered by non-stationarity inside samples like the "spurious" long memory effect, we build a sequence of stationary processes...

In this paper we discuss different aspects of long memory behavior and applicable parametric models. We discuss the confusion that can arise when the empirical autocorrelation function decreases in a hyperbolic way.

Multiple Frame Survey has been originally proposed, according to an optimality approach, in order to persecute survey cost savings, especially in the case of a complete list available but expensive to sample. In the modern sampling practice it is frequent the case where a total and up-to-date...
