This paper gives a basic overview of the various attempts at modelling stochastic processes for stock markets with specific application to Portuguese market data. Long-memory dependence in prices would completely alter data generation process and econometric models not considering long-range exhibit poor forecasting abilities. The Hurst exponent is used identify presence long-memory or fractal behaviour daily returns ascertain if follows fractional brownian motion. Detrended fluctuation...

This paper compares the fitting of normal, generalized hyperbolic, normal inverse Gaussian and Student t distributions with daily returns Portuguese Stock Index PSI-20 over period 1992-2013.We find that distribution actual exhibits much higher kurtosis extreme values than distribution. Overall, best fit is provided by hyperbolic distributions. pattern also applies to tail behavior, as density fatter tails other distributions, followed Finally, we have lowest quality Index.
WTO membership for India implies cutting tariffs in a phased manner. A general equilibrium approach is used to evaluate its impacts. The study analyses both the reduction and elimination of tariffs. With small country assumption, there are welfare gains by liberalizing trade. large observed when CET transformation function loss absence.
Indian industry is under pricing pressure after the government cut tariffs in a phased manner as per WTO agreements. In order to be competitive, consensus opinion government, academics and implementation of VAT India. The paper evaluates welfare implications static sequentially dynamic context accounting for political administrative constraints facing implementing VAT.
