Consistent estimation in the bilinear multivariate errors-in-variables model

A bilinear multivariate errors-in-variables model is considered. It corresponds to an overdetermined set of linear equations AXB=C, A∈ℝ^m×n, B∈ℝ^p×q, in which the data A, B, C are perturbed by errors. The total least squares estimator is inconsistent in this case.  An adjusted least squares estimator is constructed, which converges to the true value X, as m →∞, q →∞. A small sample modification of the estimator is presented, which is more stable for small m and q and is asymptotically equivalent to the adjusted least squares estimator. The theoretical results are confirmed by a simulation study. Acknowledgements. We thank two anonymous reviewers for their suggestions and corrections.? A.

There's something about saving …

The paper considers how people should plan their saving, given certain assumptions about inheritance and changes in household circumstances. The results are produced by a model that takes into account tax and state benefits as well as various private savings vehicles. It concludes that, for many households, saving for retirement through a ‘pension’ might not be optimum and that the best strategy is to vary the incidence and allocation of saving in response to changes in household circumstances.

外贸公司，奶酪还有多大

2006年2月10日，厦门第一家纯外资贸易公司——亿明（厦门）贸易有限公司成立。注册资金仅2000万日元，虽然市外贸局外贸处曾文生处长对记者表示，这家公司还没有到厦门市贸易发展局登记。但外界纷言。亿明（厦门）贸易有限公司的成立，有着特殊意义，标志着更规范意义上的跨国公司采购时代来临了。尽管它的成立比法国欧尚进入上海晚了4年。[编者按]     

路过天空——深圳航空平面广告创意手记

曾经读过泰戈尔的这句“天空没有翅膀的痕迹，而我已飞过”。无奈地承认，这曾是对天空最美丽的想象。不过生存要继续。2006，深航，我们要继续为它构筑在天空的远大版图。 航空业显然是不轻松的，高风险低回报，加之油价上涨、外航潜人、国内航空公司3＋X竞争局面的加剧…在高度发展的商业社会中，天空中也有狭路相逢之时。
