Chen and Zadrozny (1998) developed the linear extended Yule-Walker (XYW) method for determining the parameters of a vector autoregressive (VAR) model with available covariances of mixed-frequency observations on the variables of the model. If the parameters are determined uniquely for available...

In this paper we consider convex combinations of matrices that arise in the study of distribution problems and analyse the properties of Perron's eigenvalue, and its associated positive eigenvector. We prove that the components in the (normalized) associated positive eigenvector have a monotone...

Regions, independent of their geographic level of aggregation, are known to be interrelated partly due to their relative locations. Similar economic performance among regions can be attributed to proximity. Consequently, a proper understanding, and accounting, of spatial liaisons is needed in...
