Using a Bootstrap Method to choose the Sample Fraction in Tail Index Estimation

Danielsson, J.; Haan, L. de; Peng, L.; Vries, C.G. de - Tinbergen Instituut - 1997

We use a subsample bootstrap method to get a consistent estimate of the asymptotically optimal choice of the samplefraction, in the sense of minimal mean squared error, which is needed for tail index estimation. Unlike previous methodsour procedure is fully self contained. In particular, the...

The Willingness to pay for Quality Aspects of Durables: Theory and Application to the Car Market

Mulalic, Ismir; Rouwendal, Jan - Tinbergen Instituut - 2011

Conventional hedonic analysis measures willingness to pay for attributes on the basis of marginal fixed costs. We argue that in many cases variable costs are also affected by these attributes and that this should be taken into account. We develop a simple model to show that the marginal...
