Nonparametric estimation of time varying parameters under shape restrictions
(2001-01)In this paper we propose a new method to estimate nonparametrically a time varying parameter model when some qualitative information from outside data (e.g. seasonality) is available. In this framework we make two main ... -
Analysis of Length of Time Spent in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

International Trade and Strategic Privatization
(2001-03)The literature on mixed oligopoly does not consider that there is strategic interaction between governments when they decide whether to privatize their public firms. In order to analyze this quetion we consider two countries; ... -
