The main computational tool for solving SUR or simultaneous equations models is the generalized QR decomposition (GQRD) of an exogenous matrix A and the Cholesky factorization of a dispersion matrix C. Initially the GQRD computes the QRD of A and then the RQD of QC, where Q is an orthogonal...

We continue our research into the Quasi Monte Carlo simulation method and its application in macroeconometrics. Prior research indicated Quasi Monte Carlo simulation to be superior to traditional Monte Carlo methods. Now we address additional important issues including the robustness of the...

Agent based models take into account limited rational behaviour of individuals acting on financial markets. Explicit simulation of this behaviour and the resulting interaction of individuals provide a description of aggregate financial market time series. At least for some parameter settings,...
