  • Price elasticities in commodity trade models and external trade statistics

    Creator:
    Emami, Ali
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of the source of the external trade statistics in measuring the price responsiveness of foreign demands and relative price competitiveness of the major exporting countries in trade of agricultural commodities in international markets. In particular, the papers included in this...

  • Essays on applied microeconomics

    Creator:
    Noh, Dong Woon
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses three topics on applied microeconomics. First, we investigate issues of market power and tax incidence in the U.S. brewing industry. Since alcohol consumption can be addictive, we derive a structural econometric model of addiction from a dynamic oligopoly game. This model identifies the degree of market power...

  • Applied color processing

    Creator:
    Zhang, Heng
    Abstract:
    The quality of a digital image pipeline relies greatly on its color reproduction which should at a minimum handle the color constancy, and the final judgment of the excellence of the pipeline is made through subjective observations by humans. This dissertation addresses a few topics surrounding the color processing of...

  • Applying higher order asymptotics to mixed linear models

    Creator:
    Lyons, Benjamin
    Abstract:
    Mixed linear models are a time honored method of analyzing correlated data. However, there is still no method of calculating exact confidence intervals or p-values for an arbitrary parameter in any mixed linear model. Instead, researchers must use either specialized approximate and exact tests that have been developed for particular...

  • Propensity score methodology for nonignorable nonresponse

    Creator:
    Starcevich, Leigh Ann H.
    Abstract:
    When data are not missing at random, approaches to reduce nonresponse bias include subsampling nonresponding units and modeling. The objective of this thesis is to develop unbiased and precise model-assisted estimators of the population total that are applicable to data from a complex survey design with nonignorable nonresponse. When information...

  • Uses of Bayesian posterior modes in solving complex estimation problems in statistics

    Creator:
    Lin, Lie-fen
    Abstract:
    In Bayesian analysis, means are commonly used to summarize Bayesian posterior distributions. Problems with a large number of parameters often require numerical integrations over many dimensions to obtain means. In this dissertation, posterior modes with respect to appropriate measures are used to summarize Bayesian posterior distributions, using the Newton-Raphson method...
