Spinodal decomposition in systems with initially quenched fluctuations of the order parameter

Abyzov, A.S.; Davydov, L.N.; Mchedlov-Petrosyan, P.O.; … - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 272 (1999) 3, pp. 459-480

Early time kinetics of a system with conserved order parameter quenched into unstable two-phase region of the phase diagram is considered. We study the influence of random inhomogeneities of the order parameter distribution, present already in the system before the quench, on the process of...

A decomposition approach for undiscounted two-person zero-sum stochastic games

Avsar, Zeynep Müge; Baykal-Gürsoy, Melike - In: Mathematical Methods of Operations Research 49 (1999) 3, pp. 483-500

action spaces are assumed finite. By making use of the concept of maximal communicating classes, the following decomposition … independently. It is shown that the proposed decomposition algorithm is exact in the sense that the solution obtained from the … decomposition procedure gives the best stationary strategies for the original stochastic game.

Econometric applications of positive rank-one modifications of the symmetric factorization of a positive semi-definite matrix

Sentana, Enrique - In: Spanish Economic Review 1 (1999) 1, pp. 79-90

We present an algorithm for updating the symmetric factorization of a positive semi-definite matrix after a positive rank-one modification, which works even if the matrices involved do not have full rank. Recursive least squares and factor analysis provide two important econometric applications....

Is a significant socio-economic structural change a pre-requisite for `initial' fertility decline in the LDCs? Evidence from Thailand based on a multivariate cointegration/vector error correction modelling approach

Masih, Abul M. M.; Masih, Rumi - In: Journal of Population Economics 12 (1999) 3, pp. 463-487

This study is the first attempt at placing the analysis of fertility in a temporal dynamic framework in the case of a developing Asian economy such as Thailand by binding the relationship between fertility and its determinants within a cointegrated system. The analysis is based on the...

Generalized Selection Bias and The Decomposition of Wage Differentials

Yun, Myeong-Su - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 1999

-wages. In this context, we offer a general approach to performing decomposition analysis when selection effects are present. We … expectation of the residuals estimated from the joint estimation. It is appropriate to apply the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition … method to the wage differentials adjusted for the GSB. The GSB approach to decomposition analysis is not only easy to …

Switching Models with Self-Selection: Self-Employment in Hungary

Gang, Ira N.; Co, Catherine Y.; Yun, Myeong-Su - Department of Economics, Rutgers University-New Brunswick - 1999

We estimate the determinants of earnings for both the self-employed and wage/salary sectors in an economy undergoing transition from socialism to greater market orientation. We adopt a (full information) MLE methodology in addition to Heckman's two-step method, while taking both participation...
