This study aims to make comparisons on different univariate forecasting methods and provides a more accurate short-term forecasting model on the container throughput for rendering a reference to relevant authorities. We collected monthly data regarding container throughput volumes for three major ports in Asia, Shanghai, Singapore, and Busan Ports. Six different univariate methods, including the grey forecasting model, the hybrid grey forecasting model, the multiplicative decomposition model, the trigonometric regression model, the regression model with seasonal dummy variables, and the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model, were used. We found that the hybrid grey forecasting model outperforms the other univariate models. This study’s findings can provide a more accurate short-term forecasting model for container throughput to create a reference for port authorities.

The least squares estimator asymptotic properties of the parameters of trigonometric regression model with strongly dependent noise are studied. The goal of the work lies in obtaining the requirements to regression function and time series that simulates the random noise under which the least squares estimator of regression model parameters are asymptotically normal. Trigonometric regression model with discrete observation time and open convex parametric set is research object. Asymptotic normality of trigonometric regression model parameters the least squares estimator is research subject. For obtaining the thesis results complicated concepts of time series theory and time series statistics have been used, namely: local transformation of Gaussian stationary time series, stationary time series with singular spectral density, spectral measure of regression function, admissibility of singular spectral density of stationary time series in relation to this measure, expansions by Chebyshev-Hermite polynomials of the transformed Gaussian time series values and it’s covariances, central limit theorem for weighted vector sums of the values of such a local transformation and Brouwer fixed point theorem.

This study investigates the impact of Ease of Doing Business on Inward FDI over the period from 2011 to 2015 across the globe. This study measures ease of doing business using starting a business, getting credit, registering property, paying taxes and enforcing contracts. The research used a sample of 177 countries from 190 countries listed in World Bank. Least square regression model via E-views software used to examine causal relationship. The study found that ease of doing business indicators ‘Enforcing Contracts’ was found to have a positive significant impact on Inward FDI. Nevertheless, ‘Getting Credit’ and ‘Registering Property’ were found to have a negative significant impact on Inward FDI. However, ‘Starting a Business’ and ‘Paying Taxes’ have no significant impact on Inward FDI in the studied timeframe of this research. The findings of the study suggested the ease of doing business enables inward FDI through better contract enforcements, getting credit and registering property. The findings of the research will assist international managers and companies to know the importance of ease of doing business when investing in foreign countries through FDI.
