The work of Professor P.C.B. Phillips, even if it is focused on the area of linear nonstationary models, is enormous. So it is hard for me to explore the whole of his work in this paper. Therefore I have decided to take up only a few results of his work. The topics chosen here are applications...

We discuss some computational problems associated with distributions of statistics arising from the fractional Brownian motion (fBm). In particular, we deal with (ratios of) its quadratic functionals. While it is easy in principle to deal with the standard Bm, the fBm is difficult to analyze...

Understanding the effects of marginal tax rate on debt policy is crucial not only for　considering various capital structure theories of firms but also for evaluating corporate tax reform proposals. In this empirical study, we have found a positive relation in most cases between the...

In 2009 China passed the United States to become the world's top country in terms of motor vehicle manufacturing and sales. One factor behind automobile industry development is motorization. Motorization is perceived as a synonym for an affluent life, but as one can see from the examples of...

This article analyzes the identifiability of k-variate, M-component finite mixture models in which each component distribution has independent marginals, including models in latent class analysis. Without making parametric assumptions on the component distributions, we investigate how one can...
