This paper deals with a general class of observation-driven time series models with a special focus on time series of counts. We provide conditions under which there exist strict-sense stationary and ergodic versions of such processes. The consistency of the maximum likelihood estimators is then...

A repairable system is composed of components ofI types. A component can be loaded, put on standby, queued or repaired. The repair facility is here assumed to be a queueing system of a rather general structure though interruption of repairs is not allowed. Typei components possess a lifetime...

In this paper we consider the stochastic sequence {Pt}E N defined recursively by the linear relation Pt+1 = At Pt + Bt in a random environment which is described by the non-stationary process V = {(At, Bt) t E N.. We formulate sufficient conditions on v which ensure that the finite-dimensional...

The strong consistency and asymptotic normality of the maximum likelihood estimator in observation-driven models usually requires the study of the model both as a filter for the time-varying parameter and as a data generating process (DGP) for observed data. The probabilistic properties of the...

The subprime crisis was largely unanticipated as the efficient market hypothesis held sway and the Gaussian techniques used to rate collateralized debt obligations were assumed to have diversified risk and reduced systemic risk. However, as this paper argues, many of the shortcomings stemming...
