Econometric analysis of microscopic simulation models

Simulation of Pedestrian Dynamics with Macroscopic and Microscopic Mathematical Models

Here, we collect two parts of a research project on the pedestrian flow modeling. Rapid growth in the volume of public transport and the need for its reasonable, efficient planning have made the description and modeling of transport and pedestrian behaviors as important research topics in the past twenty years. First, we present a macroscopic model for the pedestrian flow based on continuum mec...

a study on thermodynamic models for simulation of 1,3 butadiene purification columns

attempts have been made to study the thermodynamic behavior of 1,3 butadiene purification columns with the aim of retrofitting those columns to more energy efficient separation schemes. 1,3 butadiene is purified in two columns in series through being separated from methyl acetylene and 1,2 butadiene in the first and second column respectively. comparisons have been made among different therm...

Econometric Analysis of Models with Social Interactions

On the Qualitative Analysis of Econometric Models

In this paper, I review a number of techniques which are based on the qualitative features of an econometric model (presence of a variable in a relationship .) The issues addressed span from the reconstruction of the theoretical structure behind the model speciication (which is oftentimes lost as the size of the model increases) to the possibility of reordering the equations aimed at achieving ...

Simulation based selection of competing structural econometric models

This paper proposes a formal model selection test for choosing between two competing structural econometric models. The procedure is based on a novel lack-oft criterion, namely, the simulated mean squared error of predictions (SMSEP), taking into account the complexity of structural econometric models. It is asymptotically valid for any xed number of simulations, and allows for any estimator wh...
