We present different bit-string models of haploid asexual populations in which individuals may exchange part of their genome with other individuals (parasex) according to a given probability. We study the advantages of this parasex concerning population sizes, genetic fitness and diversity. We...

The competition between two orders which have three and two components, respectively, in three dimensions, modeling the general phase diagram of high-Tc superconductivity (SC) with proximity of antiferromagnetism (AF) and d-wave SC, is investigated by Monte Carlo simulations on an O(5)...

In this paper we propose a simple procedure for data dependent determination of the number of lags and leads to use in feasible estimation of cointegrated panel regressions. Results from Monte Carlo simulations suggests that the feasible estimators considered enjoys excellent precision in terms...

This paper uses Monte Carlo methods to investigate the effects of asymmetricadjustment on estimates of the parameters of the equilibrium relationshipbetween a set of variables. We demonstrate that simple least squares estimatesand the implicit estimates from a symmetric error correction model...

This paper proposes a simple residual based panel CUSUM test of the null hypothesis of cointegration. The test has a limiting normal distribution that is free of nuisance parameters, it is robust to heteroskedasticity and it allows for mixtures of cointegrated and spurious alternatives. Our...
