The aim of this article is the study of complex structures which are behind the short-term predictability of stock returns series. In this regard, we employ a seasonal version of the Mackey-Glass-GARCH(p,q) model, initially proposed by Kyrtsou and Terraza (2003) and generalized by Kyrtsou (2005,...

In this paper we consider the use of fuzzy modelling in the context of econometric analysis of both time-series and cross-section data. We discuss and demonstrate a semi-parametric methodology for model identification and estimation that is based on the Fuzzy c-Means algorithm that is widely...

This paper examines the very long-run relationship between income and emissions of enteric methane in New Zealand, over the period 1895 to 1996. Controlling the emissions of this particular greenhouse gas is of crucial importance if that country is to meet its obligations as a signatory to the...

In a paper construction branch forecasting model which allows to estimate the industry development problems is shown. Difference from anthers models, in given paper the main attention is turned to the building of the living area. Model stands from sub model (blocks): amount of apartments, real...

The paper analyzes the circumstances in which the combination of forecasts yields better results than the use of the forecasts separately. We propose a method of combining forecasts based on their efficiency on long and medium-term using as benchmarks the combination of forecasts based on...

Electromagnetic field (EMF) measurements have limited accuracy, which is additionally impaired by meter self-noise influence. In this paper a novel noise cancellation method is proposed, based on the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) methodology. It allows to calculate the overall field intensity with a...

Vector autoregressions (VARs) are economically interpretable only when identified by being transformed into a structural form (the SVAR) in which the contemporaneous variables stand in a well-defined causal order. These identifying transformations are not unique. It is widely believed that...

In work development of the construction branch in Latvia is forecasted. The forecast is developed used system dynamic method (by J. Forrester) and Latvian construction brunch forecasting model (RTU). Construction demand consists of the state construction orders, construction demand of...
