Semiparametric estimation of regression functions under shape invariance restrictions

Wilke, Ralf A. - 2003

This paper considers the shape invariant modelling approach in semiparametric regression estimation. Nonparametric functions of similar shape are linked by parametric transformations with unknown parameters. A computationally convenient estimation procedure is suggested. √N- consistency of the...

Consumption and nutrition : age - intake profiles for Czechoslovakia 1989-1992

Miquel, Ruth; Laisney, François - 2000

This paper provides non-parametric estimates of the relation between nutrient intake and age for Czechoslovak individuals, as a function of characteristics of both the individual and the household she lives in, on the basis of household purchases. Results show no significant difference between...

Simulated classical tests in the multiperiod multinomial probit model

Ziegler, Andreas - 2002

This paper compares different versions of the simulated counterparts of the Wald test, the score test, and the likelihood ratio test in the multiperiod multinomial probit model. Monte Carlo experiments show that the simple form of the simulated likelihood ratio test delivers the most favorable...

Measuring knowledge spillovers in manufacturing and services : an empirical assessment of alternative approaches

Kaiser, Ulrich - 1999

In this paper it is tested which of the various alternative approaches for constructing knowledge spillover pools suggested in existing literature measures the extent to which a firm can costlessly receive external knowlegde best. Since knowledge spillovers are unmeasurable, a 'goodness of fit'...

On tax evasion, entrepreneurial generosity and fungible assets

Bittschi, Benjamin; Borgloh, Sarah; Moessinger, Marc-Daniel - 2016

We estimate the effects of income from various sources on charitable giving using administrative German income tax data. We demonstrate that charitable contributions are not uniformly affected by different income types. While business and capital income exhibit a positive effect, the remaining...

Optimal taxes on capital in the OLG model with uninsurable idiosyncratic income risk

Krueger, Dirk; Ludwig, Alexander - 2018

We characterize the optimal linear tax on capital in an Overlapping Generations model with two period lived households facing uninsurable idiosyncratic labor income risk. The Ramsey government internalizes the general equilibrium feedback of private precautionary saving. For logarithmic utility...

Forecasting adoption of ultra-low-emission vehicles using the GHK simulator and Bayes estimates of a multinomial probit model

Daziano, Ricardo A.; Achtnicht, Martin - 2012

In this paper we use Bayes estimates of a multinomial probit model with fully flexible substitution patterns to forecast consumer response to ultra-low-emission vehicles. In this empirical application of the probit Gibbs sampler, we use stated-preference data on vehicle choice from a...

Accounting for uncertainty in willingness to pay for environmental benefits

Daziano, Ricardo A.; Achtnicht, Martin - 2013

Previous literature on the distribution of willingness to pay has focused on its heterogeneity distribution without … deterministic consumer heterogeneity. However, when using individual estimates, which is the case for the random parameters of the … problem is actually more involved than determining the moments of the heterogeneity distribution of the willingness to pay …

Knowing what not to do : financial literacy and consumer credit choices

Dick, Christian D.; Jaroszek, Lena - 2013

Based on a rich panel of household data, we investigate the determinants of the use of consumer credit in Germany. We find that the usage frequency of an easily accessible, but relatively expensive source of consumer credit decreases with financial literacy but is unrelated to household income....
