Most recently proposed bandwidth selectors in kernel density estimation have been developed with intent to reduce the large sampling variability of Least Squares Cross-Validation. Their asymptotic superiority has been shown in many papers. Some of those selectors have even the fastest n-1/ 2...

In this paper we investigate the gains of using nonparametric estimation methods in a family of models related to Generalised Linear Models. We focus especially on discrete choice models. We give an overview on different nonparametric and semiparametric approaches in this setting. In particular...

This paper is the attempt to summarize the state of art in additive and generalized additive models (GAM). The emphasis is on approaches and numerical procedures which have emerged since the monograph of Hastie and Tibshirani (1990) although reconsidering certain aspects of their work. Apart...

Are upper class individuals less ethical? Highly popularized research findings support this notion. This paper provides a novel test to evaluate the relationship between social status and ethical behavior. We successfully prime a large heterogeneous sample of the German population as either high...

The relationship between social status and ethical behavior is a widely debated topic in research. In their study, Gsottbauer et al. (2022b) investigate whether higher socio-economic status is linked to lower ethical behavior, using data from two large survey experiments involving over 11,000...
