The investment development path (IDP) approach claims that countries go through five stages with respect to their net outward investment positions as they develop. Attempts to test its validity using time-series or cross-section estimation techniques were moderately successful and the functional...

The nlsur command is better suited to demand-system estimation than the suite of ado-fifies provided in Poi (2002, Stata Journal 2: 403–410) because it is faster and requires only one ancillary ado-file. This article replicates the results presented in Poi (2002) by using nlsur instead of ml.

The objective of this thesis is to design a relative navigation and guidance system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for vision-based control applications. The vision-based navigation, guidance and control has been one of the most focused on research topics for the automation of UAVs. This is...

In this paper, we reformulate the theoretical baseline DAS-AD model of Asada, Chen, Chiarella and Flaschel (2004) to allow for its somewhat simplified empirical estimation. The model now exhibits a Taylor interest rate rule in the place of an LM curve and a dynamic IS curve and dynamic...

This article provides an example illustrating how to use Stata to estimate systems of household demand equations. More generally,the techniques developed here can be used to estimate any system of nonlinear equations using Stata's maximum likelihood routines. Copyright 2002 by Stata Corporation.

A new technique for nonlinear state and parameter estimation of the discrete time stochastic volatility models in the state space form is developed. The Gibbs sampler is used to construct a Markov-chain simulation tool that reflects both inherent model variability and parameter uncertainty. The...
