Does Exchange Rate Risk Affect Exports Asymmetrically? Asian Evidence

Fang, WenShwo; Lai, YiHao; Miller, Stephen M. - 2005

The effects of exchange rate risk have interested researchers, since the collapse of fixed exchange rates. Little consensus exists, however, regarding its effect on exports. Previous studies implicitly assume symmetry. This paper tests the hypothesis of asymmetric effects of exchange rate risk...

Statistical Methods for Nonlinear Dynamic Models with Measurement Error Using the Ricker Model

Resendes, David Joseph - 2011

In ecological population management, years of animal counts are fit to nonlinear, dynamic models (e.g. the Ricker model) because the values of the parameters are of interest. The yearly counts are subject to measurement error, which inevitably leads to biased estimates and adversely affects...

Accounting for Estimation Optimality Criteria in Simulated Annealing

Goovaerts, Pierre - 1998

This paper presents both estimation and simulation as optimization problems that differ in the optimization criteria …, minimization of a local expected loss for estimation and reproduction of global statistics (semivariogram, histogram) for … simulation ignoring local constraints, but not as accurate as E-type estimation. Flow simulation results show that accounting for …
