In this paper we propose a generalisation of the noise trader transmission mechanism to examine the impact of central bank intervention on exchange rates. Within a heterogeneous expectations exchange rate model intervention operations are supposed to provide support to either chartist or...

For many problems of statistical inference in regression modelling, the Fisher information matrix depends on certain nuisance parameters which are unknown and which enter the model nonlinearly. A common strategy to deal with this problem within the context of design is to construct maximin...

We consider the problem of finding D-optimal designs for estimating the coefficients in a weighted polynominal regression model with a certain efficiency function depending on two unknown parameters, which models he heteroscedastic error structure. This problem is tackled by adopting a Bayesian...

This paper addresses parameter estimation of spatial regression models incorporating spatial lag. These models are very important in spatial econometrics, where spatial interaction and structure are introduced into regression analysis. Because of spatial interactions, observations are not truly...

Driven by increased complexity of dynamical systems, the solution of system of differential equations through numerical simulation in optimization problems has become computationally expensive. This paper provides a smart data driven mechanism to construct low dimensional surrogate models. These...
