An Economic Evaluation of Empirical Exchange Rate Models
This paper provides a comprehensive evaluation of the short-horizon predictive ability of economic fundamentals and forward premiums on monthly exchange-rate returns in a framework that allows for volatility timing. We implement Bayesian methods for estimation and ranking of a set of empirical exchange rate models, and construct combined forecasts based on Bayesian model averaging. More importa...

OBJECTIVES In the standard economic model of evaluation, constant discount rates devalue the long term health benefits of prevention strongly. This study shows that it is unlikely that this reflects societal preference. DESIGN A thought experiment in a cause elimination life table calculates savings of eliminating cardiovascular disease from the Dutch population. A cost effectiveness analysis...

متن کاملData envelopment analysis in service quality evaluation: an empirical study
Service quality is often conceptualized as the comparison between service expectations and the actual performance perceptions. It enhances customer satisfaction, decreases customer defection, and promotes customer loyalty. Substantial literature has examined the concept of service quality, its dimensions, and measurement methods. We introduce the perceived service quality index (PSQI) as a sing...
متن کاملTurnpikes in multi-discount rate environments and GCC policy evaluation
This note discusses the asymptotic behavior of optimal trajectories in infinite horizon control problems when the objective function is a compromise between two averaged discounted sums of the same stream of rewards. We show that the turnpike associated with the lowest discount rate is the one that will prevail. We also show that, when one discount rate is equal to 0, the problem of the best co...
