   University dissertation from Department of Economics, Lund Universtiy

   Author : Christoffer Bengtsson; Lund University.; Lunds universitet.; [2006]
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; economic systems; economic theory; econometrics; Economics; systemic risk; stochastic volatility; jump-diffusion; shrinkage; covariance matrix estimation; estimation risk; portfolio selection; mean-variance optimization; Markov chain Monte Carlo; Bayesian econometrics; ekonomisk politik; ekonomiska system; ekonomisk teori; ekonometri; Nationalekonomi; economic policy;

   Abstract : This thesis consists of four manuscripts in the area of nonlinear time series econometrics on topics of testing, modeling and forecasting nonlinear common features. The aim of this thesis is to develop new econometric contributions for hypothesis testing and forecasting in thesearea.Both stationary and nonstationary time series are concerned. READ MORE

5. 3. On specification and inference in the econometrics of public procurement

   University dissertation from Umeå : Umeå universitet

   Author : David Sundström; Umeå universitet.; [2016]
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; auctions; dependent variable transformation model; green public procurement; indirect inference; instrumental variable; latent variable; log-generalized gamma distribution; maximum likelihood; measurement error; non-linear least squares; objective effectiveness; orthogonal polynomial regression; prediction; simulation estimation; structural estimation; nationalekonomi; Economics; ekonometri; Econometrics;

   Abstract : In Paper [I] we use data on Swedish public procurement auctions for internal regularcleaning service contracts to provide novel empirical evidence regarding green publicprocurement (GPP) and its effect on the potential suppliers’ decision to submit a bid andtheir probability of being qualified for supplier selection. We find only a weak effect onsupplier behavior which suggests that GPP does not live up to its political expectations. READ MORE

6. 4. On Risk Prediction

   University dissertation from Umeå : Umeå universitet

   Author : Carl Lönnbark; Umeå universitet.; [2009]
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Finance; Time series; GARCH; Estimation error; Asymmetry; Supply and demand; SOCIAL SCIENCES Business and economics Economics Econometrics; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP Ekonomi Nationalekonomi Ekonometri; ekonometri; Econometrics;

   Abstract : This thesis comprises four papers concerning risk prediction. Paper [I] suggests a nonlinear and multivariate time series model framework that enables the study of simultaneity in returns and in volatilities, as well as asymmetric effects arising from shocks. READ MORE

7. 5. Essays on Econometric Theory

   University dissertation from Department of Economics, Lund Universtiy

   Author : Peter Jochumzen; Lund University.; Lunds universitet.; [1998]
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; economic theory; econometrics; Economics; measure of fit; unemployment insurance; non proportionality; stochastic frontier production function; diffusion of technology; Duration analysis; economic systems; economic policy; Nationalekonomi; ekonometri; ekonomisk teori; ekonomiska system; ekonomisk politik;

   Abstract : This dissertation contains a variety of contributions to econometric theory. Broadly speaking, econometrics may be categorized depending on what type of data is being analyzed, the two main categories being time series data and cross sectional data. A third category is panel data, combining cross sectional data observed over time. READ MORE
