This dissertation is composed of four articles describing inference and visualization of periodic sequences.In the first article, a nonparametric method is proposed for estimating the period and values of a periodic sequence when the data are evenly spaced in time. Theperiod is estimated by a...

Because of heterogeneity across regions, economic policy measures are increasingly targeted at the regional level, and the need for forecasts at the regional level is rapidly increasing. The data available to compute regional forecasts is usually based on a pseudo-panel of a limited number of...
