Policy-related small-area estimation

Longford, Nicholas - Department of Economics and Business, Universitat … - 2014

A method of small-area estimation with a utility function is developed. The utility characterises a policy planned to be implemented in each area, based on the area's estimate of a key quantity. It is shown by simulations that the commonly applied composite and empirical Bayes estimators are...

Incompatibility of estimation and policy objectives. An example from small-area estimation

Longford, Nicholas - Department of Economics and Business, Universitat … - 2014

We show on an application to small-area statistics that efficient estimation is not always conducive to good policy decisions, because the established inferential procedures have no capacity to incorporate the priorities and preferences of the policy makers and the related consequences of...

R&D offshore insourcing in Portugal: drivers and motivations

Pinheiro, Cátia; Sarmento, Paula - Faculdade de Economia, Universidade do Porto - 2013

As the global economy becomes more integrated, the international fragmentation of the value chain activities becomes regular. Despite the recent wave of domestic and cross-border vertical disintegration, vertical integration of R&D remains a decision for some firms. The aim of this paper is to...

Solving SDP's in Non-commutative Algebras Part I : The Dual-Scaling Algorithm

de Klerk, Etienne; Pasechnik, D.V. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2005

Semidefinite programming (SDP) may be viewed as an extension of linear programming (LP), and most interior point methods (IPM s) for LP can be extended to solve SDP problems.However, it is far more difficult to exploit data structures (especially sparsity) in the SDP case.In this paper we will...
