This paper considers the problem of estimating a nonlinear statistical model subject to stochastic linear constraints among unknown parameters. These constraints represent prior information which originates from a previous estimation of the same model using an alternative database. One feature...

In this paper, we applied the generalized mixed estimation approach to the problem of estimating the Quebec residential electricity demand for space and water heating. A multinomial discrete-continuous choice model is used and estimated in two stages. The discrete choice is modelled as a...

This paper examines the impact of government debt on interest rates in the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom and Canada, using the sequential causality test procedures suggested by Toda and Phillips (1994) in the Johansen error-correction model (ECM). The general portfolio balance...

This paper examines the impact of government debt on interest rates in the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom and Canada. It builds on the general portfolio balance framework which allows for both direct and indirect tests of the link between public debt and interest rates, and uses the...

This paper tests money-output causality and non-neutrality in five African countries, all members of the West African Monetary Union, using quarterly data for the period 1964 to 1993 and applying recent robust cointegration and dynamic modelling techniques. The real exchange rate, the price...
