Benchmarking, Temporal Distribution, and Reconciliation Methods for Time Series (Lecture Notes in Statistics)
- ISBN:
- 0387311025
- Authors:
- Estela Bee Dagum, Pierre A. Cholette
In modern economies, time series play a crucial role at all levels of activity. They are used by decision makers to plan for a better future, by governments to promote prosperity, by central banks to control inflation, by unions to bargain for higher wages, by hospital, school boards, manufacturers, builders, transportation companies, and by consumers in general. A common misconception is that time series data originate from the direct and...
Strategic Interaction and Markets
- ISBN:
- 0198233418
- Authors:
- Jean J. Gabszewicz
Imperfect competition is the paradigm that develops as soon as economic agents interact in a conscious manner, which is the rule when competition takes place amongst a restricted number of agents. This book explores the theoretical richness of these economic contexts, using some basic tools of game theory. Designed as an ancillary text for graduate students, it summarizes the historic contributions made by economic theorists and makes accessible...

Nonlinear Dynamics and Heterogeneous Interacting Agents (Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems)
- ISBN:
- 3540222375
Economic application of nonlinear dynamics, microscopic agent-based modelling, and the use of artificial intelligence techniques as learning devices of boundedly rational actors are among the most exciting interdisciplinary ventures of economic theory over the past decade. This volume provides us with a most fascinating series of examples on
Einführung in die Zeitreihenanalyse (Statistik und ihre Anwendungen) (German Edition)
- ISBN:
- 3540256288
- Authors:
- Jens-Peter Kreiß, Georg Neuhaus
Das Buch führt in die grundlegenden Bereiche der klassischen Zeitreihenanalyse ein. Deshalb spielen in den ersten Kapiteln die Begriffe Stationarität und Autokovarianz- bzw. Autokorrelationsstruktur eine wesentliche Rolle. Ergänzend zu den grundlegenden Modellen werden aber auch schon zu Beginn eine Reihe von Beispielen diskutiert. Mit Hilfe des Spektralsatzes und der Filterung stationärer Zeitreihen kann die wichtige Klasse der ARMA-Modelle...
Computer-Aided Introduction to Econometrics
- ISBN:
- 354044114X
The advent of low cost computation has made many previously intractable econometric models empirically feasible and computational methods are now realized as an integral part of the theory. This book provides graduate students and researchers not only with a sound theoretical introduction to the topic, but allows the reader through an internet based interactive computing method to learn from theory to practice the different techniques discussed...

Game Theory for Applied Economists
- ISBN:
- 0691003955
- Authors:
- Robert Gibbons
This book introduces one of the most powerful tools of modern economics to a wide audience: those who will later construct or consume game-theoretic models. Robert Gibbons addresses scholars in applied fields within economics who want a serious and thorough discussion of game theory but who may have found other works overly abstract. Gibbons emphasizes the economic applications of the theory at least as much as the pure theory itself; formal...
Anticipating Correlations: A New Paradigm for Risk Management (The Econometric and Tinbergen Institutes Lectures)
- ISBN:
- 0691116415
- Authors:
- Robert Engle
Financial markets respond to information virtually instantaneously. Each new piece of information influences the prices of assets and their correlations with each other, and as the system rapidly changes, so too do correlation forecasts. This fast-evolving environment presents econometricians with the challenge of forecasting dynamic correlations, which are essential inputs to risk measurement, portfolio allocation, derivative pricing, and many...
Student Solutions Manual for Mathematics for Economics - 2nd Edition
- ISBN:
- 0262582015
- Authors:
- Michael Hoy, John Livernois, Chris McKenna, Ray Rees, Anthanassios Stengos
This text offers a presentation of the mathematics required to tackle problems in economic analysis. After a review of the fundamentals of sets, numbers, and functions, it covers limits and continuity, the calculus of functions of one variable, linear algebra, multivariate calculus, and dynamics.
Handbook of Computational Economics, Volume 2: Agent-Based Computational Economics (Handbooks in Economics)
- ISBN:
- 0444512535
The explosive growth in computational power over the past several decades offers new tools and opportunities for economists. This handbook volume surveys recent research on Agent-based Computational Economics (ACE), the computational study of economic processes modeled as dynamic systems of interacting agents. Empirical referents for "agents" in ACE models can range from individuals or social groups with learning capabilities to physical world...
Exchange Rate Economics: Where Do We Stand? (CESifo Seminar Series)
- ISBN:
- 0262042223
Recent theoretical developments in exchange rate economics have led to important new insights into the functioning of the foreign exchange market. The simple models of the 1970s, which could not withstand empirical evaluation, have been succeeded by more complex models that draw on theoretical work in such areas as the microstructure of financial markets and open economy macroeconomics. Additionally, new and powerful econometric techniques allow...
Econometrics, Vol. 3: Economic Growth in the Information Age
- ISBN:
- 0262100940
- Authors:
- Dale W. Jorgenson
The relentless decline in the prices of information technology (IT) has steadily enhanced the role of IT investment as a source of economic growth in the United States. Productivity growth in IT-producing industries has gradually risen in importance, and a productivity revival has taken place in the rest of the economy. In this book Dale Jorgenson shows that IT provides the foundation for the resurgence of American economic growth. Information...
