In a discrete model, the predicted probabilities of a particular event can be matched to the observed (0, I) outcomes and this will give rise to a measure of fit for that event. Previous results for the binomial model are applied to multinomial models. In these models the measure of fit will...

We analyze the performance of firms in the German business-related services sector. A quarterly business survey provides the panel data base of our study. Firm performance is measured by the survey respondents? ordinal indication of their changes in total sales. We use a firstorder Markov chain...

Housing policy formulation should be informed by a careful understanding of the behaviour of the housing market, as reflected by housing demand. Such basic information is important, not only for improved project design but also for the development of better sector-wide policies. Housing is a...
