Cover Story: In a recent study, it was demonstrated that the maximum simulated likelihood (MSL) estimator produces significant biases when applied to the bivariate normal and bivariate Poisson-lognormal models. The study’s conclusion suggests that similar biases could be present in other models generated by correlated bivariate normal structures, which include several commonly used specifications of the mixed logit (MIXL) models. This paper conducts a simulation study analyzing the MSL estimation of the error component (EC) MIXL. We find that the MSL estimator produces significant biases in the estimated parameters. The problem becomes worse when the true value of the variance parameter is small and the correlation parameter is large in magnitude. View this paper

Investigation of Equilibrium in Oligopoly Markets with the Help of Tripled Fixed Points in Banach Spaces

  • Atanas Ilchev,
  • Vanya Ivanova,
  • Hristina Kulina,
  • Polina Yaneva and
  • Boyan Zlatanov

In the study we explore an oligopoly market for equilibrium and stability based on statistical data with the help of response functions rather than payoff maximization. To achieve this, we extend the concept of coupled fixed points to triple fixed po...

On the Validity of Granger Causality for Ecological Count Time Series

  • Konstantinos G. Papaspyropoulos and
  • Dimitris Kugiumtzis

Knowledge of causal relationships is fundamental for understanding the dynamic mechanisms of ecological systems. To detect such relationships from multivariate time series, Granger causality, an idea first developed in econometrics, has been formulat...

The most common approach to measuring inequality of opportunity in income is to apply the Gini inequality index or the Mean Log Deviation (MLD) index to a smoothed distribution (i.e., a distribution of type mean incomes). We show how this approach ca...
