In this article, we consider a jump diffusion process (Xt)t≥0 observed at discrete times t=0,Δ,…,nΔ. The sampling interval Δ tends to 0 and nΔ tends to infinity. We assume that (Xt)t≥0 is ergodic, strictly stationary and exponentially β-mixing. We use a penalised least-square approach...

Given n equidistant realisations of a Lévy process (Lt; t = 0), a natural estimator for the distribution function N of the Lévy measure is constructed. Under a polynomial decay restriction on the characteristic function, a Donsker-type theorem is proved, that is, a functional central limit...

This paper considers the asymptotic behaviors of the processes generated by the classical ergodic tent map that is defined on the unit interval. We get the uniform version of central limit theorem for the tent map by using the method of uniformly integrable entropy. An application to...

Using firm-level data for Belgium, we study the validity of Hicks neutrality in several sectors that cover the spectrum of knowledge intensity. We find that Hicks neutrality is clearly not supported by the data in different sectors. The results are not sensitive to altering the specification of...

As opposed to many other school inputs, textbooks have frequently been demonstrated to significantly foster student achievement. Using the rich data set provided by the 'Program on the Analysis of Education Systems' (PASEC) for five francophone, sub-Saharan African countries, this paper goes...

Multinational labor demand responds to wage differentials at the extensive margin, when a multinational enterprise (MNE) expands into foreign locations, and at the intensive margin, when an MNE operates existing affiliates across locations. We derive conditions for parametric and nonparametric...

We consider an extension of conventional univariate Kaplan-Meier type estimators for the hazard rate and the survivor function to multivariate censored data with a censored random regressor. It is an Akritas (1994) type estimator which adapts the nonparametric conditional hazard rate estimator...

We present a non-parametric tail dependence estimator which arises naturally from a specific regression model. Above that, this tail dependence estimator also results from a specific copula mixture.
