The problem of computing risk measures associated to flood events is extremely important not only from the point of view of civil protection systems but also because of the necessity for the municipalities of insuring against the damages. In this work we propose, in the framework of an...

Strong consistency and asymptotic normality of the Gaussian pseudo-maximum likelihood estimate of the parameters in a wide class of ARCH(∞) processes are established. We require the ARCH weights to decay at least hyperbolically, with a faster rate needed for the central limit theorem than for...

Strong consistency and asymptotic normality of the Gaussian pseudo-maximum likelihood estimate of the parameters in a wide class of ARCH(1) processes are established. We require the ARCH weights to decay at least hyperbolically, with a faster rate needed for the central limit theorem than for...

This paper proposes an extension of the standard one-way error components model allowing for heteroscedasticity in both the individual-specific and the general error terms, as well as for unbalanced panel. Onthe grounds of its robustness to distributional misspecification, its robustness to...

This paper studies the estimation of dynamic discrete games of incomplete information. Two main econometric issues appear in the estimation of these models: the indeterminacy problem associated with the existence of multiple equilibria, and the computational burden in the solution of the game....
