This paper describes the new Administrative Wage and Labor Market Flow Panel (AWFP). The AWFP is a dataset on labor market flows and stocks for the universe of German estab-lishments. It contains data on job flows, worker flows, and about wages for each establishment. The AWFP contains this...

This paper develops a pairs trading framework based on a mean-reverting jump-diffusion model and applies it to minute-by-minute data of the S&P 500 oil companies from 1998 to 2015. The established statistical arbitrage strategy enables us to perform intraday and overnight trading. Essentially,...

Long short-term memory (LSTM) networks are a state-of-the-art technique for sequence learning. They are less commonly applied to financial time series predictions, yet inherently suitable for this domain. We deploy LSTM networks for predicting out-of-sample directional movements for the...

This paper introduces two new concepts of symmetry for multivariate copulas with a focus on tails regions. Properties of the symmetry concepts are investigated for bivariate copulas and a connection to radial symmetry is established. Two nonparametric testing procedures for the new concepts are...

A large literature aims to establish a causal link between education and health using changes in compulsory schooling laws. It is however unclear how well more education is operationalized by marginal increases in school years. We shed a new light on this discussion by analyzing the health...

We study the relationship between cyclical job and worker flows at the establishment level using the new German AWFP dataset spanning from 1975–2014. We find that worker turnover moves more procyclical than job turnover. This procyclical worker churn takes place along the entire employment...

In this paper, we analyze the connection between value added, wages, and labor market ows at the establishment level. For this purpose, we first develop a simple model to illustrate the expected comovement of these variables. For the empirical analysis, we link the new German Administrative Wage...

We introduce a new class of Shewhart control charts, namely the ø-chart. This new class is based on the cumulative paired ø-divergence that generalizes both the cumulative (residual) entropy and the differential entropy. The phi-chart contains several subclasses; of which one has as a special...
