Hausman (1978) developed a widely-used model specification test that has passed the test of time. The test is based on two estimators, one being consistent under the null hypothesis but inconsistent under the alternative, and the other being consistent under both the null and alternative...

The authors adapt modern control theoretic techniques based on robust control theory to economic modelling and decision making. The main motivation behind the proposed approach is that concern about model misspecification in economics leads to decision strategies that work over the set of nearby...

DAMGARCH extends the VARMA-GARCH model of Ling and McAleer (2003) by introducing multiple thresholds and time-dependent structure in the asymmetry of the conditional variances. DAMGARCH models the shocks affecting the conditional variances on the basis of an underlying multivariate distribution....
