Area specific confidence intervals for a small area mean under the Fay-Herriot model
‎Small area estimates have received much attention from both private and public sectors due to the growing demand for effective planning of health services‎, ‎apportioning of government funds and policy and decision making‎. ‎Surveys are generally designed to give representative estimates at national or district level‎, ‎but estimates of variables of interest are oft...
متن کاملSmall area prediction for a unit-level lognormal model
Many variables of interest in business and agricultural surveys have skewed distributions. An example from the National Agricultural Statistics Service is the acres harvested for a particular crop. We investigate small area estimation methods for skewed data under the assumption that a lognormal model is a reasonable approximation for the distribution of the response given covariates. Empirical...
متن کاملTerm Structure of Risk under Alternative Econometric Specifications
This paper characterizes the term structure of risk measures such as Value at Risk (VaR) and expected shortfall under different econometric approaches including multivariate regime switching, GARCH-in-mean models with student-t errors, two-component GARCH models and a non-parametric bootstrap. We show how to derive the risk measures for each of these models and document large variations in term...
متن کاملForecasting Dutch GDP and inflation using Alternative Factor Model Specifications based on Large and Small Datasets
We compare the factor forecasting performance of nested specifications of the generalized factor model based on various configurations of a large macroeconomic data set. The forecast simulation design involves in-sample model selection, factor estimation, parameter estimation and, finally, generating factor forecasts and factor augmented autoregressive forecasts. In order to empirically determi...
متن کاملSmall area estimation under spatial nonstationarity
In this paper a geographical weighted pseudo empirical best linear unbiased predictor (GWEBLUP) for small area averages is proposed, and two approaches for estimating its mean squared error (MSE), a conditional approach and an unconditional one, are developed. The popular empirical best linear unbiased predictor (EBLUP) under the linear mixed model and its associated MSE estimator are obtained ...
