Comparing the performance of different approaches to deal with attribute non-attendance in discrete choice experiments: a simulation experiment
(2010)
There is a growing body of literature acknowledging that respondents to DCE often use simplifying strategies, like ignoring one or several attributes to provide with their choices. Two main approaches have appeared to ...
Using discrete choice experiments for environmental valuation
(2010)
This paper provides with a review of the state of the art of environmental valuation with discrete choice experiments (DCE). The growing body of literature on this field serves to emphasise the increasing role that DCE are ...
Semiparametric inference in correlated long memory signal plus noise models
(2010-04)
This paper proposes an extension of the log periodogram regression in perturbed long memory series that accounts for the added noise, also allowing for correlation between signal and noise, which represents a common situation ...
Lagrangean decomposition for large-scale two-stage stochastic mixed 0-1 problems
(2010-07)
In this paper we study solution methods for solving the dual problem corresponding to the Lagrangean Decomposition of two stage stochastic mixed 0-1 models. We represent the two stage stochastic mixed 0-1 problem by a ...
Fractional Integration Analysis and its Implications on Profitability: the Case of the Mackerel Market in the Basque Country
(2010)
This paper analyses weekly prices for mackerel landed by the inshore fleet at the ports of the Basque Country in 1995-2008, using new econometric techniques never before applied to the fishing market. The idea is to learn ...
A note on the implementation of the BFC-MSMIP algorithm in C++ by using COIN-OR as an optimization engine
(2010)
The aim of this technical report is to present some detailed explanations in order to help to understand and use the algorithm Branch and Fix Coordination for solving MultiStage Mixed Integer Problems (BFC- MSMIP). We have ...
On downloading and using COIN-OR for solving linear/integer optimization problems
(2010)
The aim of this technical report is to present some detailed explanations in order to help to use the open source software for optimization COIN-OR. In particular, we describe how to download, install and use the corresponding ...
Conditional beta pricing models: A nonparametric approach
(2010)
We propose a two-stage procedure to estimate conditional beta pricing models that allow for flexibility in the dynamics of assets' covariances with risk factors and market prices of risk (MPR). First, conditional covariances ...
On solving two stage stochastic linear problems by using a new approach, Cluster Benders Decomposition
(2010-11)
The optimization of stochastic linear problems, via scenario analysis, based on Benders decomposition requires to appending feasibility and/or optimality cuts to the master problem until the iterative procedure reaches the ...
Selecting random parameters in discrete choice experiment for environmental valuation: A simulation experiment
(2010)
This paper examines the various tests commonly used to select random parameters in choice modelling. The most common procedures for selecting random parameters are: the Lagrange Multiplier test as proposed by McFadden and ...
