A method is proposed which simplifies estimation of all parameters in the functional measurement error model with no error in the equation under the assumption that the error covariance for the explanatory variables is known and the model variance is unknown. The proposed method is shown to produce the same estimates given for the structural model in Schneeweiss (1976) and Fuller(1987) .

A measurement error model is a regression model with (substantial) measurement errors in the variables. Disregarding these measurement errors in estimating the regression parameters results in asymptotically biased estimators. Several methods have been proposed to eliminate, or at least to reduce, this bias, and the relative efficiency and robustness of these methods have been compared. The pap...

T his study investigates the factors affecting the demand for new residential buildings in urban areas of Iran during 1976-2010. The demand function for new residential buildings in urban areas was estimated and then the existence of a long-run relationship among variables of this function was studied using the Bounds testing of the Autoregressive Distributed Lag Co-integration procedure. The t...

The prime objective of the study is to identify the long-run and short-run relationship between Indian stock price viz., BSE SENSEX (hereafter named as BSE) and gold price (GOLD) in India. The daily closing price data were collected for the period of ten years ranging from 1st April 2004 to 31st March 2014 with 2490 observations. The study employed two models: Model one us...

from the perspective of new growth models and new international trade theories, both exports and imports play an important role in a dynamic economy. economically, we cannot merely emphasize on a positive trade balance and we ignore the benefits of imports, and also we cannot advise negative trade balance. but the main concern of policy makers about international trade should be making stabilit...

the purpose of this study is to investigate the role of oil, natural gas and coal consumption in iran’s economic growth during the periods from 1980 to 2012. the stationary analysis is performed by using adf and phillips-perron unit root test and auto-regressive distributed lag (ardl) approach was used to test for co-integration between the variables. the findings show that the variables are co...

This work considers cooperative advertising in a manufacturer–retailer supply chain. While the manufacturer is the Stackelberg leader, the retailer is the follower. Using Sethi model it models the dynamic effect of the manufacturer and retailer’s advertising efforts on sale. It uses optimal control technique and stochastic differential game theory to obtain the players’ advertising strategies a...

privatization advocates believe that transfer to private sector increases firm’s performance and value, business environment, and therefore economic growth and welfare improves. in this research, by using the 70 accepted firms in the tehran stock exchange for the period of 2005 to 2009, we investigate the effect of firm’s ownership structure on their value by applying generalized method of mome...
