Statistical Methods for Nonlinear Dynamic Models with Measurement Error Using the Ricker Model

Resendes, David Joseph - 2011

In ecological population management, years of animal counts are fit to nonlinear, dynamic models (e.g. the Ricker model) because the values of the parameters are of interest. The yearly counts are subject to measurement error, which inevitably leads to biased estimates and adversely affects...

Empirical Essays on the Elasticity of Substitution, Technical Change, and Economic Growth

Pereira, Claudiney M - 2003

We estimate the elasticity of substitution using two different production functions. The usual Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) production function and a Box-Cox production function for Japan (1890-1991), UK (1870-1991), and US (1890-1992; 1929-2000). The main results are that we find the...
