The question for the determinants and effects of the ownership concentration of firms is of central concern in the corporate governance literature. It has attracted significant attention in the last decades and has been frequently addressed by renown scholars in the corporate governance area....

Die Pflegenoten messen fast ausschließlich Struktur- und Prozessqualität. Aus diesem Grund liegt die Vermutung nahe, dass Größe (Synergieeffekte und Stichprobenvorteile), Trägerschaft (freigemeinnützige Träger mit besserer Personalausstattung und höherem Entgelt) sowie die regionale Lage...

Integer-valued autoregressive (INAR) time series form a very useful class of processes suitable to model time series of counts. In the common formulation of Du and Li (1991,JTSA), INAR models of order p share the autocorrelation structure with classical autoregressive time series. This fact...

In forecasting count processes, practitioners often ignore the discreteness of counts and compute forecasts based on Gaussian approximations instead. For both central and non-central point forecasts, and for various types of count processes, the performance of such approximate point forecasts is...
