Alternative Approaches for Estimating Highest‐Density Regions
International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary Among the variety of statistical intervals, highest‐density regions (HDRs) stand out for their ability to effectively summarise a distribution or sample, unveiling its distinctive and salient features. An HDR represents the minimum size set that satisfies a certain probability coverage, and current methods for their computation require ...

Handling Out‐of‐Sample Areas to Estimate the Unemployment Rate at Local Labour Market Areas in Italy
International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary Unemployment rate estimates for small areas are used to efficiently support the distribution of services and the allocation of resources, grants and funding. A Fay–Herriot type model is the most used tool to obtain these estimates. Under this approach out‐of‐sample areas require some synthetic estimates. As the geographical context is extremely

Specification Tests for Jump‐Diffusion Models Based on the Characteristic Function
International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary Goodness‐of‐fit tests are suggested for several popular jump‐diffusion processes. The suggested test statistics utilise the marginal characteristic function of the model and its L2‐type discrepancy from an empirical counterpart. Model parameters are estimated either by minimising the aforementioned L2‐type discrepancy or by maximum likelihood ...

One‐Way Versus Two‐Way Postacquisition Integration Efforts: Theory and Evidence
Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We develop a theory of postacquisition integration that distinguishes between one‐way (acquirer‐only) and two‐way (mutual) effort strategies. We argue that the method of payment—cash versus shares—may serve as an ex ante commitment mechanism to a particular integration strategy, where cash deals align with unilateral effort, and share deals ...

Econometrics at the Extreme: From Quantile Regression to QFAVAR1
Journal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper surveys quantile modelling from its theoretical origins to current advances. We organize the literature and present core econometric formulations and estimation methods for: (i) cross‐sectional quantile regression; (ii) quantile time series models and their time series properties; (iii) quantile vector autoregressions for ...
