A recent literature have proposed different methods to produce second-order accurate approximation to the solutions to DGSE's from a straightforward second-order approximation of the model. Among others, Judd (2002), Jin and Judd (2002) show how to compute approximation of arbitrary order on...

The research on financial engineering by means of genetic programming is gradually popular and appealing. For example, Kaboudan (1999, 2001) and Iba and Sasaki (1999), Iba and Sasaki (1999), used standard GP to evolve forecasting models. Neely, et al. (1997), Allen and Karjalainen (1999), Fyfe...

Bounded rationality is introduced into a standard growth model by assuming that households form one-period ahead least squares forecasts on production factor prices, and expect that future level of consumption and physical capital will be consistent with the balanced growth path. Under those...

This paper assesses the relative merits of panel time series models in forecasting sovereign default. It explores the contentious issue of whether controlling for time-series and country heterogeneity is important in forecasting emerging market default. For this purpose, it uses conventional...

In this paper we present the first estimation results of total investment expenditure for the Romanian economy, applying the Bayesian estimation approach of DSGE models presented in a number of various papers appeared recently in the open literature. The procedure requires the linear...

This paper investigates the performance of efficient portfolios in a financial market with heterogeneous investors including rational traders, noise traders, and chartists. A generalization of the security market line result states that, regardless of the diversity of beliefs, the portfolios of...

Combining two or more items and selling them as one good, a practice called bundling, can be a very effective strategy for reducing the costs of producing, marketing, and selling goods. In this paper, we design a system for a shop, to negotiate both the contents and the price of bundles of goods...

We consider a simple asset-pricing model with one risky and one riskless asset in discrete time. In each trading period heterogeneous boundedly rational agents form their individual demand for the risky asset, and then the price of the asset is determined via Walrasian mechanism imposing a...

Modularity has recently become an important concept in economics and management science alike (Ulrich 1995; Baldwin and Clark 2000). However, it is not always clear what is meant by modularity as formal treatments are rare. The aim of this paper is threefold. First, we want to provide a rigorous...

Motivated from the charting analysis in the financial industry, Chen and He (2003) are the first to use self-organizing maps to search for and identify price patterns. Such a model is referred to as the trajectory-domain model (TDM). Chen and Tsao (2003) apply the TDMs to three American stock...
