1. A Bandit Approach to Indirect Inference
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : We present a novel approach to the family of parameter estimation methods known asindirect inference (II), using results from bandit optimization, a sub-field of reinforcementlearning concerned with stateless Markov decision processes (MDPs). First, we present theproblem of indirect inference and show how it may be cast into the general framework ofMDPs. READ MORE

2. Comparison of Indirect Inference and the Two Stage Approach
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Parametric models are used to understand dynamical systems and predict its future behavior. It is difficult to estimate the model’s parametric values since there are usually many parameters and they are highly correlated. READ MORE

3. System Identification of continuous-time systems with quantized output data using indirect inference
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Continuous-time system identification is an important subject with applications within many fields. Many physical processes are continuous in time. Therefore, when identifying a continuous-time model, we can use our insight into the system to decide the system structure and have a direct interpretation of the parameters. READ MORE

4. Decentralization: a double-edged sword? : A comparative case study on decentralization and its influence on ethnic conflict and secessionism
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för freds- och konfliktforskningAbstract : This study evaluates the influence of decentralization on ethnic conflict and secessionism. There is little agreement in the existing literature, as several scholars argue for regional autonomy as an effective method of conflict resolution while other scholars argue that decentralization exacerbates ethnic conflict by reinforcing ethnic identities and promoting ethnic mobilization.

5. On the Determinants of Underwriting in Swedish Equity Offerings
University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionenAbstract : This thesis studies the choice of floatation method using a dataset based on 703 public offerings in Sweden between 2006 and 2017. A logistic model is utilised to study the determinants of underwriting, an ordinary least square model to estimate the direct cost of floatation, and the cost of underwriting is estimated using the Heckman sample selection model.
