This paper extends research in dynamic traffic modeling using METROPOLIS, a dynamic simulation tool. We briefly present an overview of the original departure time choice model introduces by W. Vickrey (1969) for a single O-D pair. Using this framework for our analysis, we explore how the...

This paper develops a formal framework based on multivariate spectral techniques for assesssing the performance of multivariate dynamic models whose solution is approximated through simulation. The approach is especially suitable for models that focus on a particular frequency range , such as...

In this paper we develop a new version of the algortihm proposed in [17] for solving exactly some variants of (un)weighted constrained two-dimensional cutting stock problems. We introduce one-dimensional bounded knapsacks in order to obtain an improved initial lower bound for limitating...

We present a general framework for understanding the transition from local regular to global irregular (chaotic) bahaviour of nonlinear dynamical models in discrete time. The fundamental mechanism is the unfolding of quadratic tangencies between the stable and the unstable manifolds of periodic...

The class of paremetric dynamic latent variable models is becoming more and more popular in economics and finance. Dynamic disequilibrium models, latent factor models, switching regimes models, stochastic volatility models are only few examples of this class of models. Inference in this calss...

Under the conditions of efficiency, a simple economic system is thought to have a unique market attractor, and thus a unique stable fixed point. By contrast, in more complex socioeconomic systems, multiple attractor dynamics predominate. This paper proposes a dynamical representation of suhc...

This paper discusses three key elements of stochastic growth in the Schumpeterian dynamics. These elements comprise the new entry of firms in an industry, the displacement of the old technology by the new and the nonlinear impact of learning by doing on the growth of innovating firms. Each of...

For guidance in determining which items should be included in comprehensive NDP and how they should be included, reference is often made to the linearized Hamiltonian from an optimal growth problem. The paper gives a rigorous interpretation of this procedure in terms of a money-metric utility...
