Econometric Theory and Methods provides a unified treatment of modern econometric theory and practical econometric methods. The geometrical approach to least squares is emphasized, as is the method of moments, which is used to motivate a wide variety of estimators and tests. Simulation methods,...

Information inequalities in a general sequential model for stochastic processes are presented by applying the approach to estimation through estimating functions. Using this approach, Bayesian versions of the information inequalities are also obtained. In particular, exponential-family processes...

In the present paper we consider a model for stock prices which is a generalization of the model behind the Black-Scholes formula for pricing European call options. We model the log-price as a deterministic linear trend plus a diffusion process with drift zero and with a diffusion coefficient...
