New Perspectives in Econometric Theory comprises specially selected papers by Halbert White which reflect his research in a variety of related areas in econometrics: heteroskedasticity of unknown form; nonlinear and nonparametric regression; instrumental variables and generalized method of...

Halbert White has made a major contribution to key areas of econometrics including specification analysis, specification testing, encompassing and Cox tests, and model selection. This book presents his most important published work supplemented with new material setting his work in context.

John Chipman is one of the most esteemed economists working in international trade theory. This major reference work presents in an accessible form his principal theoretical surveys. It explores the evolution of thought from classical to new-classical and on to modern theory. The work remains...

Takeshi Amemiya has made a significant contribution to econometric theory over the past 30 years. This volume brings together 34 of his key articles and papers on areas such as limited dependent variables, non-linear simultaneous equations models, time series analysis and error components...

To capture location shifts in the context of model selection, we propose selecting significant step indicators from a saturating set added to the union of all of the candidate variables. The null retention frequency and approximate non-centrality of a selection test are derived using a...

This paper discusses nonparametric kernel regression with the regressor being a \(d\)-dimensional \(\beta\)-null recurrent process in presence of conditional heteroscedasticity. We show that the mean function estimator is consistent with convergence rate \(\sqrt{n(T)h^{d}}\), where \(n(T)\) is...

This paper contributes to the historical political economy literature, which considers the fiscal imperatives of the state to be amongst the driving forces behind the emergence of representative systems of government, by examining the impact on democracy of a government's reliance on alternative...

This article studies specific aspects of the joint replenishment problem in a realsupply chain setting. Particularly we analyze the effect on inventory performance of havingminimum order quantities for the different products in the joint order, given a complextransportation cost structure. The...

See the article in the <I>Annals of Financial Economics</I> (2013). Volume 8, issue 2, pages 1-18.<P> In this paper, we develop a modified maximum likelihood (MML) estimator for the multiple linear regression model with underlying student t distribution. We obtain the closed form of the estimators, derive...</p></i>

A novel simulation-based methodology is proposed to test the validity of a set of marginal time series models, where the dependence structure between the time series is taken ‘directly’ from the observed data. The procedure is useful when one wants to summarize the test results for several...
