We propose a new nonparametric test for detecting the presence of jumps in asset prices using discretely observed data. Compared with the test statistic in A\quot;{i}t-Sahalia and Jacod (2007), our new test statistic enjoys the same asymptotic properties but has smaller variance. These results...

Integrated watershed management is required to ensure the reasonable use of resources and reconcile interactions among natural and human systems. In the present study, an interval fuzzy multiobjective programming (IFMOP) method was used to solve an integrated watershed management problem. Based...
