Over the last 60 years, regional economic analysis has been interested in identifying common patterns and regularities of regional economic structure. The identification of such patterns suggests that there predictable relationships between different levels of structural regional development....

Modelling cause and effect relationships has been a major challenge for statisticians in a wide range of application areas. Bayesian Networks (BN) combine graphical analysis with Bayesian analysis to represent causality maps linking measured and target variables. Such maps can be used for...

Standard portfolio construction models are based on the implicit assumption that all information relevant to making investment choices is probabilizable. However, both empirical behaviors of market participants and the increased success of approaches like risk parity underly an implicit...

This study proposes a simple modification to a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) in order to analyze the multiplier effects of a new sector. A different input composition, or technology, of the sector makes a conventional analysis of final-demand injections on existing sectors invalid. We show that...

The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we provide a detailed social accounting matrix (SAM), which incorporates the income and financial flows into the standard input-output matrix, for the Canadian economy for 2004. Second, we use the SAM to assess the strength of the real-financial...
