Purpose: Banking is the key industry to guarantee the core leading role of finance in the process of economic development. It is important to study the bank efficiency and optimal allocation of bank’s resources. The purpose of our paper is to study the optimal allocation of resources between...

This thesis develops a new Bayesian approach to structural break modeling. The focuses of the approach are the modeling of in-sample structural breaks and forecasting time series allowing out-of-sample breaks. Our model has some desirable features. First, the number of regimes is not fixed and...

A Markov-switching model in wind speed forecasting is examined in this research. The proposed method employs a regime switching process governed by a discrete-state Markov chain to model the nonlinear evolvement of the wind speed time-series. A Bayesian inference rather than the traditional...

Non-fullerene small molecule acceptor (NF-SMAs) such as Y6 derivatives were the current working horse for the top performing polymer solar cells (PSCs). For this reason, numerous chemical modifications have been explored for establishing structural-property-performance relationship for Y6-based...
