Since its first introduction in the Schmalenbach Business Review, Hahn et al.'s (2002) finite mixture partial least squares (FIMIX-PLS) approach to response-based segmentation in variance-based structural equation modeling has received much attention from the marketing and management...

We propose a novel approach for estimating the similarity between the trends of two time series, which has been an important problem in the fields of finance, economics and econophysics. We introduce the exit-time correlation (EC) to measure this similarity based on the exit-time method recently...

This paper describes a way to model a seasonally and irregularly peaking price dynamics, as that originated in commodity and energy markets, using a system of coupled nonlinear stochastic differential equations. The specific case of an electric power market is used to show which microeconomic...

This paper describes the economic phenomenon of price spiking in electric power markets and introduces a new way to model it. A stochastic FitzHugh-Nagumo dynamics in a special regime is proposed as a basic model for the power market, and an extension of the FitzHugh-Nagumo system is introduced...

This paper discusses a simple regime-switching SETARX model for electricity prices in discrete and continuous time. The regime structure of the model is linked to market organizational features. In continuous time the model can include spikes without using jumps

This paper discusses a rather general approach to build nonlinear dynamic models that reproduce some important aspects of electricity price series, as spike and antispike dynamics. Two specific models are proposed first in a continuous time form, then in four discrete time forms. It is then...

The effects of slight changes in the parameters on the characteristic roots of a model (sensitivity analysis) has great potential in econometrics.The author, after suggesting a criterion for giving empirical contents to the notion of "slight", shows how the application of sensitivity analysis to...

El presente documento busca analizar el comportamiento de los hogares colombianos en la compra de vehículo nuevo para uso particular, y modelar el funcionamiento de la demanda de vehículos particulares en Colombia, entre 2009 y 2011. Esto a partir de la estimación de un modelo logit anidado...

In finite mixture model clustering, each component of the fitted mixture is usually associated with a cluster. In other words, each component of the mixture is interpreted as the probability distribution of the variables of interest conditionally on the membership to a given cluster. The...
