Elements of Time Series Econometrics: an Applied Approach - Evžen Kočenda, Alexandr Černý - e-kniha

eBook: Kniha přináší soubor základních i pokročilých technik a postupů používaných v ekonometrické analýze časových řad. Kniha klade důraz na umožnění efektivního použití popsaných technik v aplikovaném ekonomickém výzkumu. Toho je dosaženo tím, že teoretické základy popsané ekonometrie jsou prezentovány spolu s intuitivním vysvětlením problematiky a jednotlivé techniky jsou ilustrovány na výsledcích současného výzkumu a to především v kontextu procesu nedávné ekonomické transformace a současné evropské integrace. Toto pojetí z knihy činí nejen učebnici v klasickém smyslu, ale také užitečný referenční zdroj neboť odkazy v knize spojují klasickou i moderní ekonometrickou literaturu se soudobými aplikacemi, na nichž je použití jednotlivých technik jasně pochopitelné. Mnohá použití vycházejí z bohaté předchozí práce autorů v oboru. Text knihy je rozdělen do pěti hlavních částí. První část, “The Nature of Time Series”, přináší úvod do analýzy časových řad a popis jejich nejdůležitějších charakteristik, vlastností a procesů. Druhá část, “Difference Equations”, stručně popisuje teorii diferenciálních rovnic s důrazem na aspekty, které jsou klíčové v ekonometrii časových řad. Třetí část, “Univariate Time Series”, poměrně rozsáhle popisuje techniky, které se používají při analýze jednotlivých časových řad bez jejich vzájemené interakce a zahrnuje jak lineární tak nelineární modelované struktury. Čtvrtá část, “Multiple Time Series”, popisuje modely které umožňují analýzu několika časových řad a jejich vzájemných interakcí. Pátá část “Panel Data and Unit Root Tests”, zahrnuje některé techniky postavené na panelových datech, jež k průřezovým datům přidávají časovou dimenzi a vztahují se k analýze konvergence. Závěr knihy je doplněn o úvod do simulační techniky a statistické tabulky.

Jakou má jejich urputná snaha souvislost s Ann? A jak se vším souvisí blížící se rovnodennost a fakt, že v noci na vše shlíží narůžovělý měsíc? Sukuby poprvé vyšly v roce 1992 v uhlazené podobě určené pro mainstreamové publikum. O devatenáct let později se dočkaly vydání nového, necenzurovaného, v podobě, jak je autor původně zamýšlel. Český překlad byl na autorovo doporučení pořízen z této pozdější verze, vydané kultovním americkým nakladatelstvím Necro Publications. Vzhledem ke všem těmto skutečnostem četbu doporučujeme čtenářům a čtenářkám starším osmnácti let, kteří jsou srozuměni s tím, že v rukou nedrží romantickou selanku.

Mickey7 - Edward Ashton - e-kniha

eBook: Mickey7 je postradatelný člen lidské výpravy vyslané kolonizovat ledový svět Niflheim. Kdykoliv je nějaká mise příliš nebezpečná, pošlou Mickeyho. Když zemře, prostě se vyrobí nové tělo, do jehož paměti se nahraje většina Mickeyho starých vzpomínek. Po šesti zmrtvýchvstáních už Mickey7 dobře ví, jak to chodí… a taky chápe, proč bylo v době, kdy se rozhodl připojit k expedici, volné právě tohle jediné místo. Když se během rutinní průzkumné mise ztratí, je považován za mrtvého. A než se stihne vrátit na základnu, už je ve službě Mickey8. Souběžná existence duplicitních lidských bytostí je zakázaná a jestli na to ostatní přijdou, oba je nechají zrecyklovat.A tak musí Mickey7 existenci svého dvojníka před zbytkem kolonie tajit. Život na Niflheimu však není žádný med. Atmosféra je pro lidi nedýchatelná, jídla je málo, teraformace postupuje pomalu a velitel Marshall je z toho značně nervózní. Přežití nakonec záleží právě na Mickeym. Pokud ovšem neumře nadobro.

Čína - Edward Rutherfurd - e-kniha

eBook: Příběh jedné z nejosobitějších a nejpozoruhodnějších zemí světa. Edward Rutherfurd si získal a okouzlil miliony čtenářů svými velkolepými, široce pojatými ságami, v nichž líčí historii různých slavných míst po dobu života celých generací. V románu Čína je teď uvádí do bezmezně bohatého a fascinujícího prostředí Říše středu. Edward Rutherfurd na základě mimořádně důkladně probádaných pramenů předkládá velkolepým stylem ztvárněný obraz jedné z nejosobitějších a zároveň nejpozoruhodnějších zemí světa. Příběh se začíná odvíjet v roce 1839 na začátku první opiové války a sleduje čínské dějiny až do pádu císařství. Autor zachycuje proměnlivé životní osudy různých čínských, britských a amerických rodin, zápasících s rozbouřenými vlnami dějin. Při tom svým nezaměnitelným stylem zachycuje velice zasvěcený pohled na čínské dějiny a čínskou společnost, na její odvěké tradice a epochální zvraty, jakož i vzestup země do postavení přední světové mocnosti. Jako obvykle jsme zváni na bohatou hostinu oplývající romantickými i dobrodružnými příběhy, hrdinkami i darebáky, boji na život a na smrt, jakož i neuvěřitelnými osudy. Román Čína nám před očima oživuje scénu této obrovské a neustále se vyvíjející země. Rutherfurd líčí bouřlivý vzestup a pád říší prostírajících se od Šanghaje po Nanking a Velkou zeď v dobách, v nichž se kolonialistický Západ a bohatý a komplikovaný Východ setkávají v dramatickém střetávání kultur a národů. Edward Rutherfurd, vlastním jménem Francis Edward Wintle (*1948 v Salisbury) je anglický spisovatel, autor série románových ság popisujících historii osidlování. Ve svých knihách zajímavě kombinuje smyšlené postavy, dokonce celé rody, a skutečné historické osobnosti a události. Po studiích na Univerzitě v Cambridgi a Stanfordově univerzitě pracoval v knihkupectví a v nakladatelství, současně začal psát prózu i dramata. Když se prosadil rozsáhlým historickým románem Sarum (česky 1995, 2001), odehrávajícím se v okolí monumentu Stonehenge a města Salisbury, začal se živit psaním. Svou druhou knihu Russka (česky 2002) věnoval carskému Rusku a vylíčil v ní události, jež provázely tuto zemi od kozáckých dob až do dnů říjnové revoluce. České čtenáře nejvíce zaujal pozoruhodnou románovou ságou Londýn (česky 1999) o založení a životě britského hlavního města. Další Rutherfurdův román Hvozd (česky 2001) čtenáře provádí devíti bouřlivými staletími dějin mystického kraje lesů a vřesovišť v jižní Anglii. Pozoruhodné dílo věnované irské historii vyšlo ve dvou svazcích – Dublin: počátky (česky 2005) a Irsko: probuzení (česky 2007). Živoucí mozaiku dějin amerického velkoměsta přináší autorův New York (česky 2010). Následoval oslnivý portrét města světel Paříž (česky 2014). Rutherfurd žil řadu let v Londýně a Dublinu, nyní pobývá střídavě v Evropě a New Yorku.

An Explanation of the Inverted-U Relationship between Profitability and Innovation - Krčál Ondřej - e-kniha

eBook: V této knize jsou formulovány dva inovační modely, které vysvětlují vztah mezi ziskovostí a inovacemi ve tvaru obráceného U a vztahy mezi ziskovostí a rozdíly mezi produktivitou jednotlivých firem v daném odvětví, které nachází Aghion et al. (2005) a Hashmi (2005). Základní model (basic model) přináší jednoduché a obecné vysvětlení těchto stylizovaných faktů a prospektově teoretický model (prospect-theory model) předkládá specifické vysvětlení stylizovaných faktů, které obsahuje behaviorální teorii manažerského rozhodování. Pro určité hodnoty parametrů generují oba modely predikce, které odpovídají vztahům, jež nachází Aghion et al. (2005) a Hashmi (2005). Dále je zde ukázáno, že oba modely vytvářejí realistické předpovědi i pro širší rozmezí parametrů kolem těchto specifických hodnot.

Imre - Edward Prime-Stevenson - e-kniha

eBook: It’s Budapest, early 20th century. Oswold is spending the summer at a language school, whilst Imre, a Hungarian calvary officer, is on leave. In the hustle and bustle of a café nestled deep in the city, the two men meet. As their companionship grows in the most unlikely of circumstances, their story is about to carve its own ending...
