Purpose This paper aims to explore the effects of a surge in tourism short-term rentals (STR) on housing prices municipalities within Portugal’s two largest Metropolitan Statistical Areas. Design/methodology/approach study applies difference-in-differences (DiD) methodology by using feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) estimator seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) equation model. Findings...

Most quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping experiments typically collect phenotypic data on multiple correlated complex traits. However, there is a lack of a comprehensive genomewide mapping strategy for correlated traits in the literature. We develop Bayesian multiple-QTL mapping methods for correlated continuous traits using two multivariate models: one that assumes the same genetic model for...

This paper analyzes the relationships between bilateral trade and economic growth in the U.S. and Korean economies. Using quarterly data from 1990 to 2008, the theoretical procedures utilize Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) models under the static model assumption, an Impulse Response Function (IRF) and Forecast Error Variation Decomposition (FEVD) under the ...

Abstract Indigenous leafy vegetables (ILVs) do not only play a significant role in ensuring livelihoods for households South Africa but can also contribute enhancing the consumption of diversified foods improved micronutrient intake. However, these plants are underutilized and their is determined by ILVs' regional cuisines accepted certain ethnic groups. This study was set out to assess accepta...

Communities around the world living in either urban or rural areas continue to experience serious WASH problems during flood episodes. and individual households are affected differently depending on their coping capacities resource base. Flooding causes extensive damage water sanitation infrastructure, leaving communities vulnerable WASH-related illnesses. This paper aimed analyze factors influ...

Aim/purpose – This paper aims to examine with new empirical evidence the joint rela- tionships between violence, income inequality, and real per capita in a simulta- neous equation framework using worldwide sample at country level. Design/methodology/approach To several simultaneous relationships variables, this study uses Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) Three-Stage Least Squares (3SLS) tw...

The number of cross-national homicide studies is increasing rapidly. Many scholars, however, do not consider the details how individual nations and four main centralized data sources—raw estimates from World Health Organization (WHO) Mortality Database, adjusted WHO Global Observatory, United Nations Office on Drugs Crime, Bank Development Indicators—generate national rates impact this may have...

In transportation studies, variables of interest are often influenced by similar factors and have correlated latent terms (errors). In such cases, a seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) model is normally used. However, most studies ignore the potential temporal and spatial autocorrelations across observations, which may lead to inaccurate conclusions. In contrast, the SUR model proposed in this...

Casuarina equisetifolia is commonly planted and used in the construction of coastal shelterbelt protection in Hainan Island. Thus, it is critical to accurately estimate the tree biomass of Casuarina equisetifolia L. for forest managers to evaluate the biomass stock in Hainan. The data for this work consisted of 72 trees, which were divided into three age groups: young forest, middle-aged forest...
