Abstract
Lage und Aussichten ihrer Geschäfte schätzen die Unternehmen des ostdeutschen Verarbeitenden Gewerbes auch zu Beginn des Jahres 1998 weiter sehr günstig ein. Die Einschätzungen der Hersteller von Vorleistungsgütern für die Industrie sind deutlich optimistischer als die der Unternehmen, die als Zulieferer eng an die Baukonjunktur gekoppelt sind.

An Evolutionary Algorithm for the Estimation of Threshold Vector Error Correction Models

Abstract
We develop an evolutionary algorithm to estimate Threshold Vector Error Correction models (TVECM) with more than two cointegrated variables. Since disregarding a threshold in cointegration models renders standard approaches to the estimation of the cointegration vectors inefficient, TVECM necessitate a simultaneous estimation of the cointegration vector(s) and the threshold. As far as two cointegrated variables are considered, this is commonly achieved by a grid search. However, grid search quickly becomes computationally unfeasible if more than two variables are cointegrated. Therefore, the likelihood function has to be maximized using heuristic approaches. Depending on the precise problem structure the evolutionary approach developed in the present paper for this purpose saves 90 to 99 per cent of the computation time of a grid search.
