In this paper we outline the Lagrangian constrained optimization method to solve complex problems subject to constraints. Firstly we summarize the Lagrangian constrained optimization routine. Secondly we outline a detailed implementation strategy. Thirdly and finally we provide example and solve...

In this paper, the authors present an EOQ model with substitutions between products and a dynamic inventory replenishment policy. Their key assumption is that many products in the market are substitutable at different levels, and that, in most cases, a customer who discovers that a desired...

Diese kumulative Dissertation analysiert eine Auswahl aktueller Themen in der dynamischen Makroökonomik sowie der Finanzierung des Staatshaushaltes. Die Kapitel dieser Dissertation teilen die gemeinsame Eigenschaft, dass sich sämtliche Aufsätze mit der Rolle von Wirtschaftspolitik in einem...

We develop a simulated ML method for short-panel estimation of one or more dynamic linear equations, where the dependent variables are only partially observed through ordinal scales. We argue that this latent autoregression (LAR) model is often more appropriate than the usual state-dependence...

This paper develops a break detection procedure for the well-known AR(p) linear panel data model with exogenous or pre-determined regressors. The test allows for a structural break in the slope parameters as well as in the fixed effects. Breaks in the latter are not constrained by any type of...

In this paper we consider inference procedures for two types of dynamic linear panel data models with fixed effects. First, we show that the closure of the stationary ARMA panel model with fixed effects can be consistently estimated by the First Difference Maximum Likelihood Estimator and we...

In this paper we propose an alternative and modified Generalized Regression Neural Networks Autoregressive model (GRNN-AR) in S&P 500 and FTSE 100 index returns, as also in Gross domestic product growth rate of Italy, USA and UK. We compare the forecasts with Generalized Autoregressive...
