In this paper I describe and apply the methods of Symbolic Time Series Analysis (STSA) to an experimental framework. The idea behind Symbolic Time Series Analysis is simple: the values of a given time series data are transformed into a finite set of symbols obtaining a finite string. Then, we...

In this paper we present a formal definition of the notions of economic regime and regime dynamics. Starting from these definitions, we discuss a multiple regime dynamic model generating an endogenous unemployment-price adjustment mechanism. Two different employment regimes are introduced and...

In this paper we describe a method to analyze the structure and dynamics of the 30 largest North American companies. The method combines the tools of Symbolic Time Series Analysis with the nearest neighbor single linkage clustering algorithm. Data symbolization allows to obtain a metric distance...

In this paper we introduce a new method to describe dynamical patterns of the real exchange rate movements time series and to analyze contagion in currency crisis. The method combines the tools of Symbolic Time Series Analysis with the nearest neighbor single linkage clustering algorithm. Data...

In this short paper we present a simple model of three tourist regions to study the incentives of hotels to invest in environmental quality. In particular, we show that the price of a hotel room depends positively on the level of investment to preserve the natural characteristics of the region...

In this paper, we review the basic notions and definitions of economic regime and regime switching. The purpose of this review is to describe how these notions appear implicitly or explicitly in different areas of the economic literature. We will not claim to offer a complete survey. The goal is...

In this paper we introduce the formalism and terminology of multiregime dynamics for both theoretical modeling and data analysis. Coding is proposed as the appropriate tool for the analysis of such special type of dynamics, focussing upon switches between suitably defined dynamical regimes....

The aim of this paper is to apply the methods of Symbolic Time Series Analysis (STSA) to series of inflation from a group of Latin-American economies. Starting with a partition of two inflation regimes, we use data symbolization for identifying temporal patterns. Afterwards the statistical...

In standard economic growth theory it is assumed that labour force follows exponential growth, a not realistic assumption. As described in, for example, Maynard Smith, Ref. 1, the growth of natural populations is more accurately depicted by a logistic growth law. This paper analyzes how...

The main aim of this study is to analyze the expenditure of the cruise passengers arriving in Costa Rica in 2008. The database was provided by the Costa Rican Tourism Institution and starting from this, we selected the main variables of the study. The independence proofs and regression analysis...
