We find a condition for the normalized sequence of independent and identically distriubted random nuclear operators to satisfy the Central Limit Theorem.

The Jordan Form of the VAR's Companion matrix is used for proving the equivalence between the statement that there are no jordan blocks of order two or higher in the Jordan matrix and the conditions of Granger's Representation Theorem for an I(1) series. Furthermore, a Diagonal polynomial matrix...

The application of nonlinear fixed effects models in econometrics has often been avoided for two reasons, one methodological, one practical. The methodological question centers on a incidental parametres problem that raises questions about the statistical properties of the estimator. The...

In Van den Akker, Van Hoesel, and Savelsbergh (1994), we have studied a time-indexed formulation for single-machine scheduling problems and have presented a complete characterization of all facet inducing inequalities with right-hand side 1 and 2 for the convex hull of the monotone extension of...

This paper studies the implementation of the coupling from the past (CFTP)method of Propp and Wilson (1996) in the set-up of two and three component mixtures with known components. We show that monotonicity structures can be exhibited in both cases, but that CFTP an still be costly for three...

This paper provides a brief survey of the bootstrap and its use in econometrics. As an introduction, the paper gives a description of the basics of the method, with a special emphasis on boostrap testing. A fairly large amount of space is devoted to discuss why bootstrap tests provide...

Likelihood ratio tests for restrictions on contegrating vectors are asymptotically X2 distributed. For some values of the parameters this asymptotic distribution does not give a good approximation to the finite sample distribution. In this paper we derive the Bartlett correction factor for the...

Spatial statistical models are applied in many problems for which dependence in observed random variables is not easily explained by a direct scientific mechanism. In such situations there may be a latent spatial process that acts to produce the observed spatial pattern. We present methods for...

This paper "tests" the performance of the approaches of Watson (1993), DeJong, Ingram and Whiteman (1996), Canova and De Nicolo (1995) and Ortega (1998) for evaluating stochastic dynamic general equilibrium models using Monte Carlo techniques. It asks: Do different model evaluation methodologies...
