Time-varying parameters (TVPs) models are frequently used in economics to capture structural change. I highlight a rather underutilized fact -- that these are actually ridge regressions. Instantly, this makes computations, tuning, and…
We introduce a weak notion of $2\times 2$-minors of gradients of a suitable subclass of $BV$ functions. In the case of maps in $BV(\mathbb{R}^2;\mathbb{R}^2)$ such a notion extends the standard definition of Jacobian determinant to…
