Title:A Note on Testing Restrictions for the Cointegration Parameters of a VAR with I(2)
Variables
Author(s):JOHANSEN, Soren; LUETKEPOHL, HelmutDate:2005Type of Publication:ArticleAbstract:We give a brief introduction to the vector autoregressive model for cointegrated I(2) variables and show how some plausible economic relations can be formulated in the I(2) framework in such a way that likelihood ratio ...
Title:Oligopoly Limit Pricing - Strategic Substitutes, Strategic Complements
Author(s):MARTIN, StephenDate:1995Type of Publication:ArticleAbstract:Conditions are outlined under which it is a sequential equilibrium for firms to forgo current profit to reduce the likelihood of entry, if firms are uncertain about rivals' costs. The assumptions about out-of-equilibrium ...
Title:On B-robust Instrumental Variable Estimation of the Linear Model with Panel Data
Author(s):WALDMANN, Robert; WAGENVOORT, Rien J.L.M.Date:2002Type of Publication:ArticleAbstract:The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how to acquire robust consistent estimates of the linear model when the fundamental orthogonality condition is not fulfilled. With this end in view, we develop two estimation procedures: ...
Title:On the Computation and Efficiency of A Hbp-Gm Estimator Some Simulation Results
Author(s):HINLOOPEN, Jeroen; WAGENVOORT, Rien J.L.M.Date:1997Type of Publication:ArticleAbstract:We propose and test a specific correction factor which improves both the resampling and projection algorithm for approximating the minimum volume ellipsoid (MVE) estimator. Simulations show that a high-breakdown-point GM ...
Title:On the Evolutionary Selection of Sets of Nash Equilibria
Author(s):SCHLAG, Karl H.; BALKENBORG, DieterDate:2006Type of Publication:ArticleAbstract:It is well established for evolutionary dynamics in asymmetric games that a pure strategy combination is asymptotically stable if and only if it is a strict Nash equilibrium. We use an extension of the notion of a strict ...

Title:On the Existence of A Beliefs Social Equilibrium
Author(s):FERNANDEZ DE CORDOBA MARTOS, GonzaloDate:1997Type of Publication:ArticleAbstract:This paper presents a result on the existence of a beliefs social equilibrium. This is a preliminary step to find a definition of equilibrium in economics that explicitly takes account of beliefs. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
Title:On the Predictability of Time-Varying VAR and DSGE Models
Author(s):BEKIROS, Stelios D.; PACCAGNINI, AlessiaDate:2012Type of Publication:ArticleAbstract:Over the last few years, there has been a growing interest in DSGE modelling for predicting macroeconomic fluctuations and conducting quantitative policy analysis. Hybrid DSGE models have become popular for dealing with ...
Title:Openness and the Case for Flexible Exchange Rates
Author(s):CORSETTI, GiancarloDate:2006Type of Publication:ArticleAbstract:Models of stabilization in open economy traditionally emphasize the role of exchange rates as a substitute for nominal price flexibility in fostering relative price adjustment. This view has been recently criticized on the ...
