Modeling approaches include three-dimensional Eulerian simulation of a gas-solid bubbling fluidized bed, modeling of solidification of binary fluids with non-linear viscosity models, numerical simulation of gas-solid flow by computational fluid dynamics techniques, modeling of stratified two phase flows using an interfacial area density model, and modeling of segregation and mixing effects in a riser using the quadrature method of moments.
This paper employs Efficient Method of Moments (EMM) proposed by Bansal, Gallant, Hussey and Tauchen (1993, 1995) and developed in Gallant and Tauchen (1996) and shown used in Gallant, Hsieh and Tauchen (1997) to estimate and test the stochastic differential equation (SDE) model.
Section 4 uses generalized method of moments (GMM) and ordinary least squares (OLS) along with panel data to estimate the effects of expected and unexpected volatility on growth.
