The current Special Issue brought out the newest trends in Econophysics that have made use of the most recent available tools, such as Big Data. The emphasis of the reprint is on deciphering the effects of current world events, such as the repercussions of the recent war conflicts, the oil and...

measurement in economics. Unlike econometrics, ML models are not designed for parameter estimation and inference, but similar to … econometrics, they address, and may be better suited for, problems of prediction. While some ML methods have been applied in … econometrics for decades, their success in prediction has been limited, and examples of this abound in the asset pricing literature …

The computing time for Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms can be prohibitively large for datasets with many observations, especially when the data density for each observation is costly to evaluate. We propose a framework where the likelihood function is estimated from a random subset of...

We propose a fast approximate Metropolis-Hastings algorithm for large data sets embedded in a design based approach. Here, the loglikelihood ratios involved in the Metropolis-Hastings acceptance step are considered as data. The building block is one single subsample from the complete data set,...

This paper describes a semiparametric Bayesian method for analyzing duration data. The proposed estimator specifies a complete functional form for duration spells, but allows flexibility by introducing an individual heterogeneity term, which follows a Dirichlet mixture distribution. I show how...

In this paper, we run regression analyses to explain voluntary turnover intentions with data from more than 5,000 employees and with about 250 explanatory variables. The findings of our multi-factor approach highlight the fact that previous empirical research might have over-estimated the impact...

In 2003, an industry-financed, government-administered buyback of trawl fishing permits and vessels took place on the US West Coast, resulting in the retirement of about one-third of the limited-entry trawl fleet. The lack of cost data in this fishery precludes an analysis of how the buyback has...

This paper considers nonparametric identification and estimation of the regression function when a covariate is mismeasured. The measurement error need not be classical. Employing the small measurement error approximation, we establish nonparametric identification under weak and...

Die Zeiten, in denen die amtliche Statistik ein Monopol auf statistische Fakten hatte, sind vorbei. Stattdessen wächst die Datenmenge durch die Digitalisierung exponentiell. Permanent entstehen neue Daten und neue Datenanbieter. Der Aufsatz zeigt die konkrete Antwort der amtlichen Statistik auf...
