Consumers' choice set of products within stores can be limited. Ackerberg and Rysman (2005) address this problem by modeling unobserved consumer preferences over products and retail stores, leading to augmented demand ...

The Cox, Ingersoll and Ross (1985) term structure model describes the stochastic evolution of government bond yield curves over time using a square root Orstein-Uhlenbeck diffusion process, whilst
imposing cross-sectional ...
Traditional means to predict tunnel-induced damage for large groups of potentially affected above ground structures has generally focused on creating a settlement trough and estimating subsequent building response limited ...
We compute the productivity gaps in manufacturing industries by urban, rural less sparse and
rural sparse locations in the UK. This is done by using firm-specific total factor productivities,
which are estimated by a ...
This paper presents a novel approach for structural damage detection. The cross-entropy method is used to estimate the structural parameters of a simply supported beam from its response to a static load consisting of a ...
To assess the safety of an existing bridge, the loads to which it may be subject in its
lifetime are required. Statistical analysis is used to extrapolate a sample of load effect values from the simulation period to the ...
Deciding whether a time series that appears nonstationary is in fact fractionally integrated or subject to structural change is a diffcult task. However, various tests have recently been introduced for distinguishing long ...
We estimate productivity dynamics within 4-digit manufacturing industries, using FAME data on UK Companies, from 1994 to 2003. We extend the algorithm in Olley and Pakes (1996) to allow for a selection bias driven by the ...
We construct a theoretical model of the dynamic processes (firm entry, growth,
decline, and exit) that underpin the determination of a limiting firm size distribution
(FSD). In particular, we model such dynamic processes ...
The paper considers the influence of the surface profile on the dynamic amplification of a simply supported bridge when subject to a quarter car vehicle model. The effect of the profile irregularities on the bridge dynamic ...
