The well-known SETAR model introduced by Tong belongs to the wide class of TAR models that may be specified in several different ways. Here we propose to consider the delay parameter as endogenous, that is we make it to depend on both the past value and the specific past regime of the series. In...

Counterfeiting is a well known world-wide phenomenon afflicting several real economies. Notwithstanding the importance of this topic, there are not many works about it in the literatute; moreover, these contributions mainly deal with counterfeiting employing a model developed in a static time...

In the literature of risk analysis different synthetic indices are built on the bases of some indicators and in this work we propose to use, alternatively to PCA, a combination statistical procedure. The univariate indices that we use are those proposed by _V-lab_ using a nonparametric...
