Abnormal Returns, Risk, and Options in Large Data Sets

Caserta, Silvia; Danielsson, Jon; de Vries, Casper G. - 1998

Large data sets in finance with millions of observations have becomewidely available. Such data sets enable the construction of reliablesemi-parametric estimates of the risk associated with extreme pricemovements. Our approach is based on semi-parametric statisticalextreme value analysis, and...

Economic and Environmental Effects of Airline Deregulation

Schipper, Youdi; Rietveld, Piet - 1997

This paper deals with the issue of regulatory reform in the airline industry, in connection with environmental externalities. Deregulation has led to shorter routes, higher frequencies, probably larger aircraft sizes and more intense peak traffic at airports. In addition, deregulation has led to...

Asymptotic Properties of Predicted Probabilities in Discrete Regression

Cramer, J.S. - 2000

The discrete outcome of a probability model is recordedas Y(i)=1 while otherwise Y(i)=0. y is the vector of observedoutcomes, p the corresponding probabilities, p^a consistent estimate of p, and residuals are defined ase = y - p^. Under quite general conditions, theasymptotic properties of p^...

Computationally Attractive Stability Tests for the Efficient Method of Moments

van der Sluis, Pieter J. - 1997

Estimation using simulation techniques may be very time consuming. Specification tests for structuralstability often require more than one of such computationally demanding estimators. Typically one for thesample, one for the post-sample and one for the combination of sample and post-sample is...

Exact Test Statistics and Distributions of Maximum Likelihood Estimators that result from Orthogonal Parameters

Kleibergen, Frank R. - 2000

We show that three convenient statistical properties that are known to hold forthe linear model with normal distributed errors that: (i.) when the variance is known, the likelihood based test statistics, Wald, Likelihood Ratio andScore or Lagrange Multiplier, coincide, (ii.) when the variance is...

Trade Reform and Labor Market Dynamics

Botman, Dennis P.J.; Tieman, Alexander F. - 1999

We present an equilibrium-search model with heterogenous workers whosearch for a job in one of two sectors and who lose part of theirskills during unemployment. We show that an import tariff increasethe wage and the employment prospects in the protected sector. Thisresults in a labor market...

The Realities of using 'Benefit Transfers' in Transport Decision-Making

Button, Kenneth; Nijkamp, Peter - 1998

There is an increasing demand for transport decisions to be made in thelight of some form of what may generically be called cost benefit analysis(CBA). The actual techniques may vary and often deviate quite significantlyfrom the conventional economic concept of CBA but in all cases theprocedures...
