This report is part of the 2-year exploratory research project MITICA (MonItoring Transport Infrastructures with Connected and Automated vehicles). It presents the experimental loading testing undertaken on the Reinforced Concrete (RC) platform that represents the full-scale bridge-like...

We present a statistical test for the long-term calibration in rating systems that can deal with overlapping time windows as required by the guidelines of the European Banking Authority (EBA), which apply to major financial institutions in the European System. In accordance with regulation,...

All parameters in structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) models are locally identified when the structural shocks are independent and follow non-Gaussian distributions. Unfortunately, standard inference methods that exploit such features of the data for identification fail to yield correct...

Evaluating policy in imperfectly competitive markets requires understanding firm behavior. While researchers test conduct via model selection and assessment, we present the advantages of Rivers and Vuong (2002) (RV) model selection under misspecification. However, degeneracy of RV invalidates...
