Specification Issues and Confidence Intervals in Unilateral Price Effects Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper contributes to the economics and econometrics literature on unilateral effects analysis. It introduces the Rotterdam demand system; considers the effect and importance of demand restrictions for minimizing the mean squared error of price simulations; demonstrates that approximate price changes are often misleading indicators of exact price changes; and uses bootstrap techniques to determine confidence intervals and standard errors for simulated price changes, allowing determination not only of their economic significance but also of their statistical significance.

Shadow Price Specification of Natural Gas in Production Activities of the Iranian Economy
Natural gas plays a key role in Iran’s economy and using its shadow price in allocating it to different sectors can lead to optimal use of this resource. This study uses a non-linear input-output model to estimate the shadow price of natural gas in different economic sectors in Iran. The study uses values of the input-output table constructed by the Statistics Center of Iran for the year 2011. ...

A method to calculate the acceptance probability and risk of rejection of bid prices on the electricity market
After restructuring, Iran’s electricity market has become one of the most competitive markets in which generation companies offer their proposed price on several price benches. So, the decisions in this market can use statistical concepts. In this paper, a conceptual model is presented according to simultaneous analysis of probabilistic distribution for historical data of market clearing price ...
متن کاملExact maximum coverage probabilities of confidence intervals with increasing bounds for Poisson distribution mean
A Poisson distribution is well used as a standard model for analyzing count data. So the Poisson distribution parameter estimation is widely applied in practice. Providing accurate confidence intervals for the discrete distribution parameters is very difficult. So far, many asymptotic confidence intervals for the mean of Poisson distribution is provided. It is known that the coverag...
متن کاملBayes Interval Estimation on the Parameters of the Weibull Distribution for Complete and Censored Tests
A method for constructing confidence intervals on parameters of a continuous probability distribution is developed in this paper. The objective is to present a model for an uncertainty represented by parameters of a probability density function. As an application, confidence intervals for the two parameters of the Weibull distribution along with their joint confidence interval are derived. The...
