Changes in stock price will be influenced by many aspects of factors. When we are predicting stock price, it is difficult to build a determined mathematical model between stock prices and these complex factors. This paper first utilizes ε − SVM (ε − support vector machine) to build a stock price prediction model. By fitting the prediction error sequence, we find the law factors, which the predi...

This study aimed to discover the insight of error correction by implementing two correction systems on three Iranian university students. The three students were invited to write four in-class essays throughout the semester, in which their verb errors and individual-selected errors were corrected using the Code Correction System and the Individual Correction System. At the end of the study, the...

The paper analyses the relationship between shadow economy and unemployment rates using a Structural VAR approach for quarterly data during the period 2000-2010. The size of Romanian shadow economy is estimated using the currency demand approach based on VECM models, stating that its size is decreasing over the analyzed period, from 36.5% at the end of 2000 to about 31.5% of real GDP at the mid...

The predictive accuracy of various econometric models, including random walks, vector autoregressive and vector error-correction models, are investigated using daily futures prices of 4 commodities (the S&P500 index, treasury bonds, gold and crude oil). All models are estimated using a rolling window approach, and evaluated by both in-sample and out-of-sample performance measures. The criteria ...
