This paper develops a method of analyzing average value of a complex-valued function that can be represented as a Fourier series satisfying a few realistic restrictions. This method may be useful when Discrete Fourier transform is highly inefficient, and comparison with Hodrick-Prescott filter...

I have provided an algorithm to invert market shares in pure characteristics model with arbitrary number of random coefficients by using first order information of direct mapping from structural parameters to market shares (Jacobian matrix). I have coded that algorithm, checked that it correctly...

Describes the behavior of financial markets as functions of the variables 'price return' and 'time' based on the net difference between ask and bid volumes over a unit period, thereby suggesting that at least a negative non-trivial price return extreme exists for a unit period. This admittedly...
