Hall's book gives a consistent and accurate account of the academic developments, especially in the time series area, and clearly fills a niche. The level required is that of a graduate student with a good background in econometrics. - Rosario dell'Aquilla, Journal of the American Statistical...

New Zealand faces the challenge of using our land in ways that are not only resilient to future pressures and sustain our rural communities but also enhance our natural environment. For the public and private sectors to make robust land-use decisions under uncertainty, high-quality modelling...

We propose a new information criterion for impulse response function matching estimators (IRFMEs) of the structural parameters of dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) macroeconomic models. An advantage of our procedure is that it allows researchers to select the impulse responses that...

Abstract We provide formulae for calculating approximate p-values for the non-standard asymptotic null distributions of a variety of tests used for detecting multiple structural change in a wide range of models. Our approximations are based on simulated quantiles obtained from 100,000...

The recognition that policies aimed at “getting prices right” in less developed countries werefailing due to incomplete markets has spurred a new wave of reforms, directed instead at“getting markets and institutions right”. Although previous studies have documented thepotentially crucial...

The author derives the information-matrix test, suggested by H. White (1982), for the normal fixed-regressor linear model, and shows that the statistic decomposes asymptotically into the sum of three independent quadratic forms. One of these is White's general test for heteroscedasticity and the...
