In this paper, we analyse a model of non-cooperative exchange "a la Cournot-Nash", proposed by Lloyd S. Shapley, in limit exchange economies. In contrast with the case with a finite number of traders, analysed by Sahi and Yao [Sahi, S., Yao, S., 1989, The non-cooperative equilibria of a trading...

In this paper we apply graph theoretic techniques to provide results for weakening the interior endowment assumption of Arrow and Debreu [Arrow, K.J., Debreu, G., 1954. Existence of an equilibrium for a competitive economy, Econometrica 22, 265-290]. We develop two conditions - C-irreducibility...

This paper reconsiders a block bootstrap procedure for Quasi Maximum Likelihood estimation of GARCH models, based on the resampling of the likelihood function, as proposed by Goncalves and White [2004. Maximum likelihood and the bootstrap for nonlinear dynamic models. journal of Econometrics...

Problems of the analysis of data with incomplete observations are all too familiar in statistics. They are doubly difficult if we are also uncertain about the choice of model. We propose a general formulation for the discussion of such problems and develop approximations to the resulting bias of...

This work is motivated by dose-finding studies, where the number of events per subject within a specified study period form the primary outcome. The aim of the considered studies is to identify the target dose for which the new drug can be shown to be as effective as a competitor medication....

Local bifurcation theory typically deals with the response of a degenerate but isolated equilibrium state or periodic orbit of a dynamical system to perturbations controlled by one or more independent parameters, and characteristically uses tools from singularity theory. There are many...

We introduce the concept of inconsequential arbitrage and, in the context of a model allowing short-sales and half-lines in indifference surfaces, prove that inconsequential arbitrage is sufficient for existence of equilibrium. Moreover, with a slightly stronger condition of nonsatiation than...

A conditional simulation technique has previously been presented for variance reduction when estimating rail probabilities. particularly extreme ones. for a wide class of moving-average processes. Here. ve generalize the technique from continuous ro discrete random variables. Two distinct...

Unemployment durations are generally modelled by using survival analysis. In the past, in Britain, all such studies have not only used very restrictive parametric specifications of the hazard functions, most commonly Weibull in form, but also only modelled unemployment durations without...

The calculation of interval forecasts for highly persistent autoregressive (AR) time series based on the bootstrap is considered. Three methods are considered for countering the small-sample bias of least-squares estimation for processes which have roots close to the unit circle: a bootstrap...
