Identification of the Structures of Spatial and Spatio-Temporal Processes and a Problem of Data Aggregation
Journal Title: Dynamic Econometric Models - Year 2011, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper concerns the measurement of the dependence between economic spatial and also spatio-temporal processes at various levels of data aggregation. The considerations refer to the investigations confirming efficiency of the so-called quasi-congruent spatial model as a tool of the measurement of the dependence between economic processes. The main problem of the paper is to discuss such a description of the spatial and spatio-temporal connections, which would be adequate to express the autodependence of the investigated processes. The application of the economic distance, which characterizes the similarity of the regions on the ground of the values of the analyzed processes, is proposed.

The Impact of the Exchange Rate Dynamics on the Dependencies in Global Stock Market
The paper addresses the question of how the exchange rate dynamics affects the analysis of linkages between national stock markets. We consider two ways of tackling the problem. The first one consists in denominating th...
Asymmetries in the Relationship between Economic Activity and Oil Prices in the Selected EU Countries
In this paper the threshold (T-ECM) and linear (ECM) error correction models are estimated to examine the short-run and long-run Granger causality in terms of asymmetric and symmetric relationship for seven European Unio...
Measuring Nonlinear Serial Dependencies Using the Mutual Information Coefficient
Construction, estimation and application of the mutual information measure have been presented in this paper. The simulations have been carried out to verify its usefulness to detect nonlinear serial dependencies. Moreov...
The Application of Hidden Markov Models to the Analysis of Real Convergence
This paper employs hidden Markov models and the Viterbi path to analyze the process of real convergence. Such an approach combines the analysis of cyclical and income-level convergence. Twelve macroeconomic variables in...
