In this paper, we review the extant mathematical and environmental economics literatures on the stochastic properties of CO2 emission allowance futures prices. We explain the main findings arising from this literature from both continuous- and jump-diffusion models. Based on the Activity...

"We analyse the impact of retraining for the unemployed on future labour market success, and estimate effects separately for different target occupations. We use German registry data and apply statistical matching methods. The results show that on average, after a period with strong lock-in...

We analize the gender wage gap in Mexico using the population censuses from 1990 to 2010. The wage gap has decreased on average during this period. In 2010, the gender wage gap was about 6%. However, the average hides important aspects of the wage gap across the distribution of wages. We find a...

Given a nonparametric regression model, we assume that the number of covariates $d\rightarrow\infty$ but only some of these covariates are relevant for the model. Our goal is to identify the relevant covariates and to obtain some information about the structure of the model. We propose a new...

The local polynomial estimator is particularly affected by the curse of dimensionality. So, the potentialities of such a tool become ineffective for large dimensional applications. Motivated by this, we propose a new estimation procedure based on the local linear estimator and a nonlinearity...

Son yıllarda ham petrol fiyatlarında gerçekleşen yükselişler bu piyasaların daha iyi anlaşılmasını gerekli kılmış, ekonomik birimlerin daha iyi tahminlere ulaşabilmek için çaba sarf etmesine neden olmuştur. Vadeli sözleşmelerin ise bu amaç için en çok başvurulan araç...
