The paper addresses the question on what is the typical time horizon over which a full transmission of movements in the real exchange rate into real economy takes place. To this end, we base our analysis on the mixed-frequency small-scale dynamic factor model of Siliverstovs (2012) fitted to the...

In explaining wage or income by personal attributes (e.g. educational attainment, age, and ethnicity) in a regression model, many researchers choose to use the log of wage or income as the dependent variable and then to estimate the unknown coefficients by some version of the least-squares...

This study analyses the intra-EU trade of the world's chief wine exporters, namely Italy, France and Spain. Using an augmented version of the gravity model we empirically assess which of the three countries have experienced growth in intra-EU market trade. Effects of transportation costs, as...

Output devices in print production can be characterized by different characterization methods. One commonly used method of color device characterization is least squares fitting. In essence, the least squares fitting is used to determine the coefficients of a predetermined polynomial, such that...

Summary In hedonic pricing models there is often prior knowledge available which has the form of interval constraints on the unknown coefficients. These are stemming for example from considerations of submarkets for the characteristics involved. In this article we briefly discuss some well known...

Abstract In this paper, we study an inference problem for the regression coefficients in some multivariate regression models with multiple change-points occurring at unknown times, when the regression coefficients may satisfy some restrictions. The hypothesized restriction is more general than...

Under the normal conditions of construction contracts, the client is obliged to pay the contractor in monthly instalments. The amount of each instalment is based on the value of construction work actually produced in the previous month and forecasts are needed in advance of the likely value of...

The research undertaken was four-fold. First, to investigate whether government policy provides protection and by extension, incentives for the local table egg farmers to remain in production. To do so, EPC's for all commercial farms in the industry were estimated to arrive at a weighted or...

This research examines whether stock liquidity affects the crash risk of stock price for companies listed on the Vietnamese stock market. Using a comprehensive dataset encompassing all stocks listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HOSE) and the Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX) from 2010 to 2022, we...

This study presents a set of models for predicting incident duration and identifying variables associated with the incident duration in the state of Maryland. The incident database for years 2003 to 2005 from the Maryland State Highway (MDSHA) database is used for model development, and year...
