Manufacturing intelligence for semiconductor demand forecast based on technology diffusion and product life cycle (2010, background): “Most of the existing demand forecasting studies employ time series methods (Hamilton, 1994).”
Institutional and individual sentiment: Smart money and noise trader risk? (2006, background): “This poses a problem, because as it is well known, the question whether a time series has a unit root or is just very persistent is unanswerable in finite samples (see e.g. the discussion in Hamilton, 1994, p. 444-447).”
Internationally cross-listed stock prices during overlapping trading hours: price discovery and exchange rate effects (2005, methodology): “3 See Karolyi (2003) and Harris, McInish, and Wood (2001) for a detailed analysis and discussion of the DaimlerChrysler global ordinary stock.”
Crime is the Problem: Homicide, Acquisitive Crime, and Economic Conditions (2009, result): “argument homicides. The results of this validation exercise, then, lend support to the theoretical expectation that collective economic perceptions exert a stronger influence on economically-motivated homicides than on other homicides (see Pratt and Lowenkamp 2002, for similar findings).”
