A Monte Carlo Study Of Growth Regressions: This paper evaluates the bias properties of common estimators used in growth regressions derived from the Solow model. This paper suggests that using an OLS estimator applied in a single cross-section of variables averaged over time performs best in terms of the extent of bias on each of the estimated...; Tags: Stanford Knowledgebase; White papers 2003-12-01
A Non-Parametric Approach to Multi-Product Pricing: Through interaction with on-line consumers, E-commerce web sites are capable of gathering large quantities of data that reflect consumer preferences. Motivated by the availability of such data, it formulates a non-parametric approach to multi-product pricing. It also considers three different models of consumer behavior. Each model relates observed data on...; Tags: Engineering, Pricing, Stanford Knowledgebase, algorithm, e-commerce Web site, pricing strategy, e-business; White papers 2003-02-12

Dynamic Coherent Risk Measures: In this paper, a notion of risk measure is defined for dynamic models. Three axioms, coherence, relevance and dynamic consistence, are postulated. It is shown that every dynamic risk measure that satisfies the axioms can be represented as the maximal expected present value of future losses where expectations are taken...; Tags: Stanford Knowledgebase, axiom, Bayesian; White papers 2003-01-10
