The jackknife is a resampling method that uses subsets of the original database by leaving out one observation at a time from the sample. The paper develops fast algorithms for jackknifing inequality indices with only a few passes through the data. The number of passes is independent of the...

In this article we propose a modification of time-series segmentation algorithm which allows to identify homogenous periods of money market history by clustering multidimensional probability distributions of relevant variables. We provide step-by-step instructions to systematically choose how...

The publication is a part of the consultation series our journal offers to the readers on those econometric methods that are rela-tively new and rarely described in the Russian literature on the subject. Here we are presenting or, to be more exact, describing how to analyze the vector...

This study is aimed at creation of the macroeconometric models of the key macro-indices of the national economics of Russia and Armenia: GDP, inflation, export and import, the average wage, etc. The choice of predictors of these models is made according to findings from theoretical models...

The paper is the first part of the study which is devoted to the analysis of the macroeconomic trends in the Russian Federation and the Republic of Armenia in the period 1995–2011 and the development of the aggregated macroeconometric models of the national economies of these two countries. We...

This paper estimates the economic losses related to the negative effect of smoking on wages in Russia. Data from the 2006 Living Standards Survey of Russia’s Tomsk region are used to jointly estimate a system of three equations: the smoking decision equation and two separate equations for...

Models of Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (ARCH) and their generalizations are widely used in ap-plied econometric research, especially for analysis of financial markets. We bring to our reader’s attention a consul-tation on this topic prepared from the book of Marno Verbeek “A...

This research deals with methodological problems of econometric modeling for the Russian economy of 1990–2000s with respect to modern trends in macroeconomic and econometric theory. The authors propose a two-stage procedure of modeling. At the first stage a disaggregated dynamical model is...

Economic Summary of 2005: Results of Econometric Analysis

In elaboration of the stochastic frontier methodology we offer an approach to test a statistic hypothesis about independence of random components of a stochastic production function for the purpose of estimation of technical efficiency. We describe the dependence between the error components by...
