When inter-arrival times between events follow an exponential distribution, this implies a Poisson frequency of events, as both models assume events occur independently and at a constant average rate. However, these assumptions are often violated in real-insurance applications. When the rate at...

Investigating how systemic risk originates and spreads across the financial system poses an inherently compositional question, i.e., a question concerning the joint distribution of relative risk share across several interdependent contributors. To address this question, we propose a weighted...

Regressors often have heterogeneous effects in the social sciences, implying unit-specific slopes. OLS is frequently applied to these correlated coefficient models. I first show that without restrictions on the relation between slopes and regressors, OLS estimates can take any value including...

We study the propensity of independent algorithms to collude in repeated Cournot duopoly games. Specifically, we investigate the predictive power of different oligopoly and bargaining solutions regarding the effect of asymmetry between firms. We find that both consumers and firms can benefit...
