In the paper we try to measure the activity of jumps in returns of some instruments from the Polish financial market. We use Blumenthal-Getoor index ? for Lévy processes as a measure of jumps’ activity. This allows us to distinguish between processes with rare and sharp jumps and the...

This paper gives an account of the recent literature on estimating models for panel count data. Specifically, the treatment of unobserved individual heterogeneity that is correlated with the explanatory variables and the presence of explanatory variables that are not strictly exogenous are...

The exponential model of Bloomfield (1973) is becoming increasingly important due to its recent applications to long memory time series. However, this model has received little consideration in the context of short memory time series. Furthermore, there has been very little attempt at using the...

In this paper we investigate locally E- and c-optimal designs for exponential regression models of the form _k i=1 ai exp(??ix). We establish a numerical method for the construction of efficient and locally optimal designs, which is based on two results. First we consider the limit ?i ? ? and...

This paper derives exact expressions for statistical curvature and related geometric quantities in the first order autoregressive models with stable and unit roots, as well as explosive roots larger than unity. We develop a method for deriving exact moments of arbitrary order in general...
