In this paper we analyse the problem of the modelling of individual transitions in presence of an incomplete sampling scheme.

This paper proposes alternative methods for constructing estimators from accept-reject samples by incorporating the variables rejected by the algorithm.

This paper synthesises a global approach to both Bayesian and likelihood treatments of the estimation of the parameters of a hidden Markov model for the cases of normal and Poisson underlying distribution.

This paper puts forth a concept of Adptivety Rational Equilibrium (A.R.E) where agents base decisions upon predictions of future values of endogenous variables whose actual values are determined by equilibrium equations.

The simulation result of Nunes, Kuan, and Newbold suggests that it is possible to estimate a spurious break for a regression model with I(1) disturbances. In this note, we provide a rigorous proof for this phenomenon.

In this paper, we derive a general Hajek-Renyi type inequality for vector-valued martingales. Several well known inequalities are shown to be special cases of this general inequality. We also derive a similar inequality for dependent sequences. We then apply the inequality to the problem of...

A procedure for computing the parameters of latent multifactor models in econometrics is proposed based on indirect estimation methods.

The paper deals with the problem of identifying stochastic unobserved two-component models, as in seasonal adjustment or trend-cycle decompositions. Solutions based on the properties of the unobserved component estimation error are considered, and analytical expressions for the variances and...
