Informationen zum Autor Giles\, David E. A. Klappentext Emphasizing the impact of computer software and computational technology on econometric theory and development, this text presents recent advances in the application of computerized tools to econometric techniques and practicesâ¿"focusing on current innovations in Monte Carlo simulation, computer-aided testing, model selection, and Bayesian methodology for improved econometric analyses. Zusammenfassung This book demonstrates the challenges of modern econometric practice and the role that computer software and hardware play in this field. It examines the properties of some tests for various types of non-stationarity that can arise with time-series data that are recorded semiannually. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
