(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2005)
Statistical tests in vector autoregressive (VAR) models are typically based on large-sample approximations, involving the use of asymptotic distributions or bootstrap techniques. After documenting that such methods can be ...
Von Neumann-Morgenstern Stable Sets in Matching Problems
