A new Bayesian multi-chain Markov Switching GARCH model for dynamic hedging in energy futures markets is developed by … different hedging components. Our formulation also provides an avenue to analyze the contribution of the volatility dynamics and … framework with regime-switching models allows the definition of a robust minimum variance hedging strategy to also account for …

Smallholder farmers’ preferences for participation in contract farming may take the form of proportional data …-whereby farmers only sell some proportions or fractions of their output to contractors. We analyze determinants for preferences for … zero (potential corner solution) and proportional amounts of milk that farmers sell through contract farming, using dairy …

A stylized fact of African agriculture is that crop responses to inorganic fertilizer application derived from experimental studies are often substantially greater than those from observational studies (e.g. surveys and administrative data). Recent debates on relative costs and benefits of...

Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods are widely used for non-linear filtering purposes. However, the SMC scope encompasses wider applications such as estimating static model parameters so much that it is becoming a serious alternative to Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo (MCMC) methods. Not only do SMC...

A Bayesian dynamic compositional model is introduced that can deal with combining a large set of predictive densities. It extends the mixture of experts and the smoothly mixing regression models by allowing for combination weight dependence across models and time. A compositional model with...

A flexible predictive density combination model is introduced for large financial data sets which allows for dynamic weight learning and model set incompleteness. Dimension reduction procedures allocate the large sets of predictive densities and combination weights to relatively small sets....
