The research deals with bootstrap interval estimation of wildlife population sizes frommultiple surveys in the Hluhluwe-Umfolosi Park. The jackknife procedure was also usedto provide the standard errors for the survey estimates. The main wildlife speciese studiedin the research were the White...

This paper shows how to bootstrap hypothesis tests in the context of the Parks (Efficient estimation of a system of regression equations when disturbances are both serially and contemporaneously correlated 1967) estimator. It then demonstrates that the bootstrap outperforms Parks's top...

In studying the asymptotic and finite sample properties of quasi-maximum likelihood (QML) estimators for the spatial linear regression models, much attention has been paid to the spatial lag dependence (SLD) model; little has been given to its companion, the spatial error dependence (SED) model....

This paper shows how to bootstrap hypothesis tests in the context of the Parks's (1967) Feasible Generalized Least Squares estimator. It then demonstrates that the bootstrap outperforms FGLS(Parks)'s top competitor. The FGLS(Parks) estimator has been a workhorse for the analysis of panel data...

We extend the method of indirect inference testing to data that is not filtered and so may be non-stationary. We apply the method to an open economy real business cycle model on UK data. We review the method using a Monte Carlo experiment and find that it performs accurately and has good power.

Abstract This paper employs a Monte Carlo study to compare the performance of equal-tailed bootstrap percentile- t , symmetric bootstrap percentile- t , bootstrap percentile, and standard asymptotic confidence intervals in two distinct heteroscedastic regression models. Bootstrap confidence...

This note describes ParallelKnoppix, a bootable CD that allows econometricians with average knowledge of computers to create and begin using a high performance computing cluster for parallel computing in very little time. The computers used may be heterogeneous machines, and clusters of up to...

This paper reassesses the long-run relation between nominal interest rates and inflation using German data. It shows that the empirical rejection of the strict Fisher effect in previous studies, i.e., the finding of interest rates not fully adjusting to changes in inflation, can be attributed to...
