Download or read book Recursive Estimation and Time Series Analysis written by Peter C. Young and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-08-04 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a revised version of the 1984 book of the same name but considerably modified and enlarged to accommodate the developments in recursive estimation and time series analysis that have occurred over the last quarter century. Also over this time, the CAPTAIN Toolbox for recursive estimation and time series analysis has been developed at Lancaster, for use in the MatlabTM software environment (see Appendix G). Consequently, the present version of the book is able to exploit the many computational routines that are contained in this widely available Toolbox, as well as some of the other routines in MatlabTM and its other toolboxes. The book is an introductory one on the topic of recursive estimation and it demonstrates how this approach to estimation, in its various forms, can be an impressive aid to the modelling of stochastic, dynamic systems. It is intended for undergraduate or Masters students who wish to obtain a grounding in this subject; or for practitioners in industry who may have heard of topics dealt with in this book and, while they want to know more about them, may have been deterred by the rather esoteric nature of some books in this challenging area of study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the texts of seminars presented during the years 1995 and 1996 at the Université Paris VI and is the first attempt to present a survey on this subject. Starting from the classical conditions for existence and unicity of a solution in the most simple case-which requires more than basic stochartic calculus-several refinements on the hypotheses are introduced to obtain more general results.

Download or read book Discrete Choice Methods with Simulation written by Kenneth Train and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-06 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the new generation of discrete choice methods, focusing on the many advances that are made possible by simulation. Researchers use these statistical methods to examine the choices that consumers, households, firms, and other agents make. Each of the major models is covered: logit, generalized extreme value, or GEV (including nested and cross-nested logits), probit, and mixed logit, plus a variety of specifications that build on these basics. Simulation-assisted estimation procedures are investigated and compared, including maximum stimulated likelihood, method of simulated moments, and method of simulated scores. Procedures for drawing from densities are described, including variance reduction techniques such as anithetics and Halton draws. Recent advances in Bayesian procedures are explored, including the use of the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm and its variant Gibbs sampling. The second edition adds chapters on endogeneity and expectation-maximization (EM) algorithms. No other book incorporates all these fields, which have arisen in the past 25 years. The procedures are applicable in many fields, including energy, transportation, environmental studies, health, labor, and marketing.
Download or read book Economic Growth written by Alfonso Novales and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-12-03 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third corrected and extended edition of a book on deterministic and stochastic Growth Theory and the computational methods needed to produce numerical solutions. Exogenous and endogenous growth, non-monetary and monetary models are thoroughly reviewed. Special attention is paid to the use of these models for fiscal and monetary policy analysis. Models under modern theories of the Business Cycle, New Keynesian Macroeconomics, and Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium models, can be all considered as special cases of economic growth models, and they can be analyzed by the theoretical and numerical procedures provided in the textbook. Analytical discussions are presented in full detail. The book is self-contained and it is designed so that the student advances in the theoretical and the computational issues in parallel. Spreadsheets are used to solve simple examples. Matlab files are provided on an accompanying website to illustrate theoretical results from all chapters as well as to simulate the effects of economic policy interventions. The logical structure of these program files is described in "Numerical exercise"-type of sections, where the output of these programs is also interpreted. The third edition corrects a few typographical errors, includes two new and original chapters on frequentist and Bayesian estimation, and improves some notation.

Book excerpt: From the Preface The first edition of this book was written mainly for audiences with physical science and engineering backgrounds. Nevertheless, it reached some readers with economic and management science training. Analytical training of graduate students in economics and management sciences had progressed much in the last 20 years, and many new research results and optimization algorithms have also become available. My own interest in the meantime has shifted to the analysis of dynamics and optimization problems of economic and management science origin. With these developments and changes, I decided to rewrite much of the first edition to make it more accessible to graduate students and professionals in social sciences. I have also incorporated some new analytic tools that I deem useful in analyzing the dynamic and stochastic problems which confront these readers. I hope that my efforts successfully bring intertemporal optimization problems closer to economics professionals. New topics introduced into this second edition appear mostly in Chapters 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8. Martingales and martingale differences are introduced early in Chapter 2. Some limit theorems and asymptotic properties of linear state space models driven by martingale differences are presented. Because many excellent books are available on martingales and their limit theorems, derivations and proofs are mostly sketchy, and readers are referred to these sources. The results in Chapteer 2 are applied in Chapters 5, 6, and 8, among other places. The notion of dynamic aggregation and its relation to cointegration and error-correction models are developed in Chapter 4. Some recursive parameter estimation schemes and their statistical properties are included in Chapters 5 and 6. Here again, books devoted entirely to these topics are available in the literature, and much had to be omitted to keep the second edition to a manageable size. In an appendix to Chapter 7, a potentially very powerful tool in proving convergence of adaptive schemes is outlined. Rational expectations models and their solution methods are developed in Chapter 8 because of their wide-spread interest to economists. A very important class of problems in sequential decision problems revolves around questions of approximating nonlinear dynamics or more generally complex situations with a sequence of less complex ones. Chapter 9 does not begin to do justice to this class of problems but is included as being suggestive of works to be done. When I first started contemplating the revision of the first edition, I benefited from a list of excellent suggestions from Rick van der Ploeg, though I did not necessarily incorporate all of his suggestions. Conversations with Thomas Sargent and Victor Solo were useful in organizing the material into the form of the second edition. I also benefited from discussions with Hashem Pesaran and correspondences with L. Broze in finalizing Chapter 8. Some material in this book was used as lecture notes in a graduate course in the Department of Economics, University of California, Los Angeles, the winter quarter of 1987. I thank the participants in the course for many useful comments.
