In recent years, political science has seen a boom in the use of sophisticated methodological tools for time series analysis. One such tool is the general error correction model (GECM), originally introduced to political scientists in the pages of this journal over 20 years ago (Durr 1992; Ostrom and Smith 1992) and re-introduced by De Boef and Keele (2008), who advocate its use for a wider set...

This paper presents a hybrid model for the CoNLL-2013 shared task which focuses on the problem of grammatical error correction. This year’s task includes determiner, preposition, noun number, verb form, and subject-verb agreement errors which is more comprehensive than previous error correction tasks. We correct these five types of errors in different modules where either machine learning based...

This paper proposes a nonlinear error-correction model based upon smooth transition regression methodology. The model is speci® ed such that the short-run adjustment toward long-run equilibrium is nonlinear and that the error correction is a smooth function of long-run deviation. Empirical results obtained from estimating M2 money demand in Taiwan support the hypothesis of a nonlinear error-cor...

This paper analyzes the transmission mechanisms of a contractionary monetary policy shock on the real economy. The sufficiently long regime uniform time period since the political transformation in the Czech Republic provides evidence for effective inflation targeting by the Czech National Bank. I apply a recursive vector autoregression (VAR), a structural VAR, and structural vector error corre...

The goal of this study was to investigate the manufacturing error correction model of the wavelet transform processor (WTP) using surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices. The motive of this work was prompted by the output accuracy of the WTP using SAW devices varying with the manufacturing accuracy of each finger of the devices. Thus, in this paper, we presented the functional relationship between ...

Dieser Beitrag beschreibt die Bereitstellung wiederverwendbarer Datenpfadkomponenten durch Generatorwerkzeuge für die Klasse der RS(Reed-Solomon) Fehlerkorrekturcodes. Die Parameterisierbarkeit und Modularisierbarkeit der FEC(Forward Error Correction) Applikation erfolgt werkzeuggestützt bez. der unterschiedlichen Codeparameter, optimierter Teilkomponenten und der Algorithmenauswahl. Bei der Pa...

The extent, pattern, and degree of integration are analyzed in a multivariate system with cointegrating restrictions. The extent of the market is found by identifying locations that are linked by trade and where prices share identical long–run information (permanent component). The pattern of integration characterizes interdependence and is analyzed by estimating a vector error correction model...

The objective of this study is to see the impacts of economic reforms and trade liberalisation policies on agricultural export performance of Pakistan. The major purpose is to examine the effects of both domestic supply-side factors and world demand on agricultural export performance. Four indicators of economic reforms and trade liberalisation policies are considered namely competitiveness, di...

This study investigated the relationship between financial development and economic growth for Ireland for the period 1965-2007 using a vector error correction model (VECM). Questions were raised whether financial development causes economic growth or reversely taking into account the positive effect of industrial production index. Financial market development is estimated by the effect of cred...

We examine the statistical power of fundamental and behavioral factors with regards to stock returns of the Dow Jones Industrials Index. With a novel sentiment dataset from over 3.6 million Reuters news articles, we nd signi cant correlations between Reuters sentiment and stock returns. We show with vector autoregression and error correction models that sentiment can explain and predict changes...
