Forecast combination under heavy-tailed errors

Cheng, Gang; Wang, Sicong; Yang, Yuhong - In: Econometrics : open access journal 3 (2015) 4, pp. 797-824

Forecast combination has been proven to be a very important technique to obtain accurate predictions for various applications in economics, finance, marketing and many other areas. In many applications, forecast errors exhibit heavy-tailed behaviors for various reasons. Unfortunately, to our...

Bequests, control rights, and cost-benefit analysis

Glazer, Amihai; Kanniainen, Vesa; Niskanen, Esko - 2001

Consider a public project which produces a consumption good and which benefits future generations. Let a conventional cost-benefit analysis find that it gives higher benefits than projects it would dis-place in the private sector. Voters may nevertheless oppose the public project: the...

Toward a Political Economy of Cost-Benefit Analysis

Cole, Daniel H. - 2012

This is a substantially revised, refocused, and updated version of an earlier draft paper, exploring the significant role Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) plays in facilitating or impeding legislative and regulatory policy decisions. The paper centers around three case studies of CBAs EPA prepared...

Bischoff, Ivo; Krauskopf, Thomas - 2013 - This version: March 18, 2013

We investigate the motives of pro-social behavior in collective decisions in an economic experiment. It compares … endowment and have to decide how much of it to donate to charity. The experiment is combined with two long questionnaires that … the control variables are found significant. Comparing subjects' affective state before and after the experiment, we find …

Bequests, Control Rights, and Cost-Benefit Analysis

Glazer, Amihai; Kanniainen, Vesa; Niskanen, Esko - 2021

Consider a public project which produces a consumption good and which benefits future generations. Let a conventional cost-benefit analysis find that it gives higher benefits than projects it would displace in the private sector. Voters may nevertheless oppose the public project: the combination...

Multiple Regimes Model Reconstruction Using Symbolic Time Series Methods

Brida, Juan Gabriel - 2011

In this paper we describe and apply the methods of Symbolic Time Series Analysis to an experimental framework. We discuss data symbolization as a tool for identifying temporal patterns in experimental data and use symbol sequence statistics in a model strategy. In particular, we introduce a...

A robust Bayesian dynamic linear model for Latin-American economic time series : "the Mexico and Puerto Rico cases"

Fúquene, Jairo; Álvarez, Marta; Pericchi, Luis R. - In: Latin American economic review : LAER ; official … 24 (2015), pp. 1-17

The traditional time series methodology requires at least a preliminary transformation of the data to get stationarity. On the other hand, robust Bayesian dynamic models (RBDMs) do not assume a regular pattern or stability of the underlying system but can include points of statement breaks. In...

The endo-exo problem in high frequency financial price fluctuations and rejecting criticality

Wheatley, Spencer; Wehrli, Alexander; Sornette, Didier - 2018

The endo-exo problem lies at the heart of statistical identi fication in many fields of science, and is often plagued by spurious strong-and-long memory due to improper treatment of trends, shocks and shifts in the data. A class of models that has shown to be useful in discerning exogenous and...

Symbolic Time Series Analysis and Economic Regimes

Brida, Juan Gabriel - 2011

In this paper I describe and apply the methods of Symbolic Time Series Analysis (STSA) to an experimental framework. The idea behind Symbolic Time Series Analysis is simple: the values of a given time series data are transformed into a finite set of symbols obtaining a finite string. Then, we...
