When a supply and demand model is recursive, with errors uncorrelated across the two equations, ordinary least square (OLS) is the recommended estimation procedure. Supply to a daily fish market is determined by the previous night`s catch, so this would appear to be a good example of a recursive...

Hendry, David; Pretis, Felix - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2011

We identify anthropogenic contributions to atmospheric CO2 measured at Mauna Loa using a statistical automatic model selection algorithm (Autometrics). We find that vegetation, temperature and other natural factors alone cannot explain the trend or the variation in CO2 growth. Industrial...
