Asymptotic analysis of stochastic models of hierarchic structure and applications in queueing models
, 1998 A class of switching stochastic systems with hierarchic state space working in different scales of time ( slow and fast) that are adequate mathematical models at the analysis and modelling of various classes of computing systems and networks of a ...

Low Participation and Risk Reduction Potential of Supplemental Crop Insurance in the United States
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Federally subsidized crop insurance is a cornerstone of U.S. farm risk management, yet policies with the greatest share of participation only trigger indemnities after losses exceed 15%. Supplemental insurance was introduced to cover part of this deductible, but participation remains largely unchanged.

Cost Pass‐Through in Crisis: Evidence From the German Malt‐Beer Supply Chain
Agribusiness, EarlyView.Abstract Global agri‐food supply chains are increasingly exposed to geopolitical shocks, climate volatility, and market consolidation, factors that disrupt traditional price relationships and reshape market power dynamics. Nowhere is this more visible than in the brewing sector, where agricultural raw materials meet complex industrial processing and ...

Stochastic Actor-Oriented Models of Functional and Structural Human Brain Networks in Aging
The human brain is a complex and dynamical system that changes throughout the lifetime. Non-invasive imaging techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), allow for the measurement of large-scale functional and structural connectivity networks in the brain. Beyond trends, the dynamics across long timescales are still poorly understood.

Multivariate Stochastic Volatility Models: Bayesian Estimation and Model Comparison [PDF]
In this paper we show that fully likelihood-based estimation and comparison of multivariate stochastic volatility (SV) models can be easily performed via a freely available Bayesian software called WinBUGS.
