This paper uses a new survey of graduates from one large civil university in the UK to examine the determinants of over-education and its subsequent impact on labour market earnings. Multiple measurements of over-education were collected to assess th... Read More about The effects of over-education on earnings in the graduate labour market.

Power-law behaviour, heterogeneity, and trend chasing (2007)
Journal Article

Long-range dependence in volatility is one of the most prominent examples in financial market research involving universal power laws. Its characterization has recently spurred attempts to provide some explanations of the underlying mechanism. This p... Read More about Power-law behaviour, heterogeneity, and trend chasing.

The econometric analysis of agent-based models in finance: An application (2007)
Journal Article

This paper illustrates how to compare different agent-based models and how to compare an agent-based model with real data. As examples we investigate ARFIMA models, the probability density function, and the spectral density function. We illustrate th...

Eutrophication of estuarine and coastal waters has only been recognised as a potential problem since the early 1980s. This problem is being addressed by the European Union through the implementation of recent water quality legislation, which also cal...
