Abstract:

GMM provides a computationally convenient estimation method and the resulting estimator can be shown to be consistent and asymptotically normal under the fairly moderate regularity conditions. It is widely known that the information content in the population moment condition has impacts on the quality of the asymptotic approximation to finite sample behavior. This dissertation focuses on a moment selection procedure that leads us to choose relevant (asymptotically efficient and non-redundant) moment conditions in the presence of weak identification. The contributions of this dissertation can b

Abstract:

The GMM estimator is widely used in the econometrics literature. This thesis mainly focus on three aspects of the GMM technique. First, I derive the prooves to study the asymptotic properties of the GMM estimator under certain conditions. To my best knowledge, the original complete prooves proposed by Hansen (1982) is not easily available. In this thesis, I provide complete prooves of consistency and asymptotic normality of the GMM estimator under some stronger assumptions than those in Hansen (1982). Second, I illustrate the application of GMM estimator in linear models. Specifically, I empha

Abstract:

"The fundamental theorem of asset pricing in finance states that the price of any asset is its expected discounted payoff. Ideally, the payoff is discounted by a factor, which depends on parameters present in the market, and it should be unique, in the sense that financial derivatives should be able to be priced using the same discount factor. In theory, risk neutral valuation implies the existence of a positive random variable, which is called the stochastic discount factor and is used to discount the payoffs of any asset. Apart from asset pricing another use of stochastic discount factor is

Abstract:

In estimating econometric time series models, it is assumed that the parameters remain constant over the period examined. This assumption may not always be valid when using data which span an extended period, as the underlying relationships between the variables in these models are exposed to various exogenous shifts. It is therefore imperative to examine the stability of models as failure to identify any changes could result in wrong predictions or inappropriate policy recommendations. This research proposes a method of estimating the location of break points in linear econometric models with

We consider the effect of disability status on Medicare expenditures. Disabled elderly historically have accounted for a significant portion of Medicare expenditures. Recent demographic trends exhibit a decline in the size of this population, causing some observers to predict declines in Medicare expenditures. There are, however, reasons to be suspicious of this rosy forecast. To better understand the effect of disability on Medicare expenditures, we develop and estimate a model using the generalized method of moments technique. We find that newly disabled elderly generally spend more than tho

This paper tests a new methodology; the discrete time no arbitrage-based model of Heath, Jarrow and Morton (HJM). From within Ho and Lee's framework, HJM's model is shown to encompass Ho and Lee's AR model as a special case. Several discrete stochastic models of the term structure based on restrictions placed on the variance of the forward rate process are discussed. These models are tested in HJM's no arbitrage-based framework. For testing, it is necessary to use current bond prices to substitute out for the market price of risk implied in the initial term structure. In this way, additional c

Compared to other analyses, we show that the inflation process in the Czech Repub

Abstract:

The Stochastic actor-oriented model (SAO) is a statistical model for longitudinal network data. The most often used procedure for the estimation of the parameter of the SAO model is the Method of Moments (MoM), which estimates the parameters using one observed statistic for each estimated parameter. A new set of statistics is defined taking into account the different ways of creating and deleting ties to which a certain effect can contribute. This definition leads to having more than one statistic for a single parameter, i.e. to an over-determined system of equations. Thus, the ordinary MoM ca

This thesis addresses the question, whether the impact of financial development on the relative and absolute indicators of poverty is dependent on the levels of the human capital present in an economy. To answer this question, first we develop a theoretical framework to explain the growth process in the context of financial development assuming that human capital is heterogeneous in terms of the skills and education people have. Then, by using the data sets based on five-year averages over 1960-2010 and 1980-2010, covering 107 developed and developing countries, we empirically investigate the

Empirical trade economists have found that shocks on foreign direct investment (FDI) of some parent country in a host country affect the same parent country´s FDI in other hosts (interdependent hosts).

In general equilibrium, shocks on FDI between any country pair will affect all country-pairs´ FDI in the world, including anyone of the two countries in a pair as well as third countries (interdependent third countries).

This dissertation concerns the problem of spectral estimation subject to moment constraints. Its scalar counterpart is well-known under the name of rational covariance extension which has been extensively studied in past decades. The classical covariance extension problem can be reformulated as a truncated trigonometric moment problem, which in general admits infinitely many solutions. In order to achieve positivity and rationality, optimization with entropy-like functionals has been exploited in the literature to select one solution with a fixed zero structure.

Cette thèse examine la relation complexe et la causalité entre la migration et le développement, sujet d'actualité vus les flux croissants de migrants et les transferts de fonds privés. La revue de la littérature théorique et empirique montre la complexité de cette relation, et l’absence de consensus dégagé par les travaux menés sur les causes et les effets de la migration sur le développement. Sur les causes de migration, une première estimation empirique montre qu’elle fait partie intégrante du processus de développement et n’est donc pas une simple conséquence de faibles niveaux de développ

Abstract:

The CEO and CFO are the two key executives of a firm. They work cohesively to ensure the growth of the firm. After the adoption of the Sarbanes Oxley Act (SOX) in 2002, the importance of CFOs has increased due to their personal legal obligation in certifying the accuracy of financial statements. Only a few papers such as Mian (2001), Fee and Hadlock (2004), and Geiger and North (2006) focus on CFOs in the pre-SOX era. However, a vacuum exists in research focusing exclusively on CFOs in the post-SOX era. The purpose of this dissertation is to delve into a comprehensive investigation of the CFOs

Abstract:

Le problème généralisé des moments (PGM) est un problème d'optimisation linéaire sur des espaces de mesures. Il permet de modéliser simplement un grand nombre d'applications. En toute généralité il est impossible à résoudre mais si ses données sont des polynômes et des ensembles semi-algébriques alors on peut définir une hiérarchie de relaxations semidéfinies (SDP) - la hiérarchie moments-sommes-de-carrés (moments-SOS) - qui permet en principe d'approcher la valeur optimale avec une précision arbitraire. Le travail contenu dans cette thèse adresse deux facettes concernants le PGM et la hiérarc

Abstract:

The empirical interpolation method is an interpolation scheme with problem dependent basis functions and interpolation nodes, originally developed for parameter dependent functions. It was developed in connection with the reduced basis framework for fast evaluation of output from parameterized partial differential equations, but the procedure may be applicable to a variety of problems, such as image and pattern recognition, numerical integration and data compression. We present the theoretical background and implementation of the method, and give examples to verify exponential convergence for

Abstract:

In this thesis, the Method of Moments has been applied to calculate capacitance between two arbitrary 3D metal conductors or a capacitance matrix for a 3D multi-conductor system. Capacitance extraction has found extensive use for systems involving sets of long par- allel transmission lines in multi-dielectric environment as well as integrated circuit package including three-dimensional conductors located on parallel planes. This paper starts by reviewing fundamental aspects of transient electro-magnetics followed by the governing dif- ferential and integral equations to motivate the applicatio

Thesis (MEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Method of Moments (MoM) is routinely used for the numerical solution of electromagnetic surface integral equations. Solution errors are inherent to any numerical computational method, and error estimators can be effectively employed to reduce and control these errors. In this thesis, gradient recovery techniques of the Finite Element Method (FEM) are formulated within the MoM context, in order to recover a higher-order charge of a Rao-Wilton-Glisson (RWG) MoM solution. Furthermore, a new recovery procedure, based spec
