Since the research of Black and Scholes (1973), modeling methods using diffusion processes have performed principal roles in financial engineering. In modern financial theories, various types of diffusion processes were suggested and applied in real situations. An estimation of the model parameters is an indispensible step to analyze financial data using diffusion process models. Many estimation methods were suggested and their properties were investigated. This paper reviews the statistical properties of the, Euler approximation method, New Local Linearization(NLL) method, and Generalized Methods of Moment(GMM) that are known as the most practical methods. From the simulation study, we found the NLL and Euler methods performed better than GMM. GMM is frequently used to estimate the parameters because of its simplicity; however this paper shows the performance of GMM is poorer than the Euler approximation method or the NLL method that are even simpler than GMM. This paper shows the performance of the GMM is extremely poor especially when the parameters in diffusion coefficient are to be estimated.

이 논문에서는 자산의 수익률과 공통요인이 시간가변적 변동성을 갖는 경우의 APT를 검증하고자 시도하였다. 이를 위하여 1980년 1월부터 1995년 12월까지의 17개업종별 포트폴리오 수익률로부터 주성분분석에 의하여 4개의 공통요인을 추출하였다. (이중 첫 번째 요인은 동일가중 시장수익률과 거의 1에 가까운 상관성을 갖고 있으므로, 추출된 첫 번째 요인 대신에 시장수익률을 사용하였다.) 17개 업종별 포트폴리오에 대한 ARCH모형을 추정한 결과, 12개 포트폴리오의 수익률이 조건부 이분산성을 보이고 있다. 또 네 개의 공통요인 중 시장수익률을 포함한 3개의 요인은 뚜렷한 조건부 이분산성을 보이고 있다. 따라서 요인위험--즉, 공통요인에 대한 개별자산의 민감도$({\beta}_{ij})$--은, 개별자산과 공통요인의 상관계수가 일정하다고 가정하여, ARCH모형에 의해 측정된 자산 및 공통요인의 시간가변 표준편차로부터 계산되었다. 이와 같이 계산된 요인위험에 대하여 어느 정도의 위험프리미엄이 주어지고 있는가는 일반화 적률법(GMM)에 의하여 추정하였다. 그 결과, APT의 추정에 사용된 4개의 공통요인 중 시장수익률을 포함한 3개의 요인에 대하여 유의한 위험프리미엄이 추정되었다.

The mobile game industry has become the one of the fastest growing industries with its astonishing market size. Despite its industrial importance, a few studies empirically considered actual purchasing behavior in mobile games rather than the intention to purchase. Therefore, this paper investigates the key drivers of in-app purchase by analyzing the game-log dataset provided from a mobile game company in Korea. Specifically, the effects of goal-directed, habitual and social-interacted playing behavior are analyzed on in-app purchase. Furthermore, the recursive relationship with playing and purchasing behaviorsis also considered. The result shows that all suggested factors have positive impacts on in-app purchase in the current period. In addition, the effect of previous habitual playing has a positive impact, but the effect of social-interacted playing and in-app purchase in the previous period have negative impacts on in-app purchase of the current period. These findings can improve our understanding of the impact of game playing on in-app purchase in mobile games, and provide meaningful insights for researchers and practitioners.

This paper examines the impact of a dual labor market structure on labor productivity using unbalanced panel data from 29 OECD member countries between 1990 and 2015. By applying a variety of regression models on the panel data (e.g., a pooled regression, a fixed effects model and a GMM), we explore how changes in worker-type composition among temporary, permanent and self-employed workers contribute to productivity growth. While it appears that our results differ slightly, depending on the econometric models, overall an increase in the share of permanent workers leads to a relatively higher increase in productivity growth. On the other hand, it is also seen that the effects of the share of temporary workers on labor productivity are considerably lower than that of permanent and self-employed workers. To sum it up, our findings indicate that an increase in temporary workers could have an adverse effect on labor productivity.
