Dynamic econometric modeling of the U.S. wheat grain market
… have not gained much ground in commodity market modeling despite the overwhelming popularity of time series approaches in forecasting and dynamic analyses. This dissertation contributes by applying developments in seasonal cointegration and structural-time series analysis (e.g., Zellner and Palm …

Three Essays on Econometric Modeling and Application: Health and Consumer Behaviors
… and the corresponding interventions by nonlinear econometric modeling. In the first chapter, I suggest an appropriate econometric model that investigates the effect of paid sick leave on workers' decision to receive the seasonal flu vaccination. For this investigation, I apply a Bayesian …

Spatial Econometric Modeling of Urban Spatial Structure of Chicago and Seoul in the 1990s: Agglomeration Economies, Information Technology and Commuting
… urban economic aspect. By developing a spatial econometric framework, the proposed research aims to investigate the changing pattern of the urban spatial structure in Chicago and Seoul in the 1990s, focusing on several factors considered as the major driving forces of the location/distribution …

Growth Breaks: A Qualitative Study of Exceptional Growth
… dissertation explores the challenges of causal modeling in economic development. It revisits pioneering attempts to estimate the economic policies that advance growth, using twenty-six years of additional data and different econometric modeling techniques. Levine and Renelt’s (1992) findings of …

An Econometric Analysis of the Canada - Florida Air Passenger Market
… the demand for air passenger service based on an econometric modeling process. Canada - Florida commercial air passenger traffic is segmented into those passengers flying on scheduled air services and those travelling on chartered air services. Two separate multiple regression equations are …

Exchange Rate Volatility and Bilateral Trade Flows: An Analysis of U.S. Demand for Certain Steel Products from Canada and Mexico
This empirical study uses stochastic coefficients econometric modeling to forecast real exchange rate volatility and examine how expected and unexpected volatility affect bilateral trade flows of certain steel products between Canada, Mexico and the United States using monthly data for the …

Retention of U.S. Navy Surface Warfare Officers Before and After the Global War on Terror (GWOT)
… archival data provided by the Navy via the Navy Econometric Modeling System (NEMS). The data set contained information on Navy Surface Warfare Officers in pay grades O2O6. The archival data set included 73,348 records. In order to analyze the effect of the GWOT on officer retention, we created …

The relationship between crude oil and natural gas spot prices and its stability over time
… bases for a price relationship are examined. An econometric modeling exercise seeks to establish whether a stable price relationship exists and to define it through the use of a vector error correction model. The model identifies strong evidence of cointegration between the crude oil and natural …

Trends and Diversification in the Factory-Built Home Industry
… home industry-segment is highlighted by econometric modeling of market share data across manufactured housings' product life-cycle curve. Results of this modeling mimic three periods of product life cycle change that ends with the current market share decline. Being so, it is concluded …

Data science and advanced analytics : an integrated framework for creating value from data
… management, can be addressed by data-driven modeling. Frequently, the only data available are observational rather than experimental. This precludes causal inference, though it supports quasi-causal inference (or causal approximation) and prediction. With three different studies that are …

Three Essays on Consumer Behavior and Health Outcomes: An Economic Analysis of the Influence of Nutrition Information and Knowledge on Food Purchasing Behavior and the Impacts of Primary Care Givers Parenting on Childhood Obesity
… that ignoring the endogeneity problem in econometric modeling will downwardly bias the estimates of the true effects of nutrition knowledge. The estimates obtained from different estimation strategies in the study indicate the robustness of our findings about the effects of nutrition …

Global and regional assessments of unsustainable groundwater use in irrigated agriculture
… groundwater demands, combining hydrology and econometric modeling. The econometric model projects how humans make decisions to expand or contract the irrigated land area of crops in response to climate change. Even in areas with precipitation increases, human decisions to expand irrigated …

Multivariate Analysis of Accident Related Outcomes with Respect to Contemporaneous Correlation and Endogeneity: Application of Simultaneous Estimation Techniques
… prediction models based on statistical or econometric modeling techniques are used for a variety of purposes; most commonly to estimate the expected crash frequencies from various roadway entities (highways, intersections, interstates, etc.) and also to identify geometric, environmental, …

Essays on Agricultural and Regional Development
… problem common in previous studies. Among the econometric modeling strategies in previous literature, Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) and Bayesian Hierarchical Model (BHM) are two promising methods to solve the issue of model uncertainty. The rate-of-return estimates by BHM are preferable …

Modeling and forecasting international credit risk : the case of sovereign loans
This thesis investigates the relative merits of econometric modeling, statistical and judgmental techniques for predicting debt crises and assessing the risk of credit migration. The increased reliance on econometric or statistical approaches and credit rating systems in risk management has …

Volatility Modeling Using the Student's t Distribution
… an empirical illustration of the PR approach for modeling univariate volatility. Estimation results suggest that the Student's t AR model is a parsimonious and statistically adequate representation of exchange rate returns and Dow Jones returns data. Econometric modeling based on the Student's t …
