Ecography, EarlyView.Understanding the mechanisms controlling community diversity is a central, topic in ecology, particularly in microbial ecology. Although species pools and local assembly processes are believed to play non‐negligible roles in shaping the within‐community (α) and among‐community (β) diversity of microbial communities, their relative importance as ...

High order discretization schemes for stochastic volatility models [PDF]
In usual stochastic volatility models, the process driving the volatility of the asset price evolves according to an autonomous one-dimensional stochastic differential equation. We assume that the coefficients of this equation are smooth.

To Grandmother's House We Go: Informal Childcare and Female Labor Mobility
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We document how childcare costs and the location of extended family influence the labor supply and mobility of US women. Women return to their home locations immediately before fertility events, suggesting that informal childcare needs may motivate home migration. Women who live near their parents have lower child earnings penalties.

A Comparative Review of Specification Tests for Diffusion Models
International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary Diffusion models play an essential role in modelling continuous‐time stochastic processes in the financial field. Therefore, several proposals have been developed in the last decades to test the specification of stochastic differential equations.

A Non‐Parametric Framework for Correlation Functions on Product Metric Spaces
International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary We propose a non‐parametric framework for analysing data defined over products of metric spaces, a versatile class encountered in various fields. This framework accommodates non‐stationarity and seasonality and is applicable to both local and global domains, such as the Earth's surface, as well as domains evolving over linear time or time ...

Performance analysis of Stochastic Process Algebra models using Stochastic Simulation
, 2008 We present a translation of a generic stochastic process algebra model into a form suitable for stochastic simulation. By systematically generating rate equations from a process description, we can use tools developed for chemical and biochemical ...

Goodness‐of‐Fit Tests for Positive Quadrant Dependence
International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary When two random variables are positive quadrant dependent (PQD), they are more likely to assume small (or large) values simultaneously compared with when the random variables are independent. This dependence structure is of interest in many areas, including finance, actuarial science and engineering.

On approximating the stochastic behaviour of Markovian process algebra models [PDF]
, 2014 Markov chains offer a rigorous mathematical framework to describe systems that exhibit stochastic behaviour, as they are supported by a plethora of methodologies to analyse their properties. Stochastic process algebras are high-level formalisms, where

Demographic Dynamics and International Trade: Stylized Facts and Theoretical Insights
Journal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Demographic change within a country has economic repercussions for other countries through international transactions. Ongoing shifts in population size and age structure across countries have important implications for international trade, operating through changes in market size, consumption preferences, and labor supply.

Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We propose a new formulation of the Vašičekmodel within the framework of functional data analysis. We treat observations (continuous‐time rates) within a suitably defined trading day as a single statistical object. We then consider a sequence of such objects, indexed by day.
