Logistic population change and the Mankiw-Romer-Weil model.
The EGARCH model of Nelson [29] is one of the most successful ARCH models which may exhibit characteristic asymmetries of financial time series, as well as long memory. The paper studies the covariance structure and dependence properties of the EGARCH and some related stochastic volatility models. We show that the large time behavior of the covariance of powers of the (observed) ARCH process is determined by the behavior of the covariance of the (linear) log-volatility process; in particular, a...

We present an application of nonlinear Generalised Canonical Analysis (GCA) for analysing longitudinal data. The application uses lagged versions of variables to accomodate the time-dependence in the measurements. The usefulness of the proposed method is illustrated in an example from developmental psychology, in which we explore the relationship between mother and child dyadic interaction during the first six months after birth, demonstrating how child behaviour can elicit mother behaviour. We...
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 65M06, 65M12.In this paper we explore the numerical diffusion introduced by two nonstandard finite difference schemes applied to the Black-Scholes partial differential equation for pricing discontinuous payoff and low volatility options. Discontinuities in the initial conditions require applying nonstandard non-oscillating finite difference schemes such as the exponentially fitted finite difference schemes suggested by D. Duffy and the Crank-Nicolson variant...
