Gender differences in tournament choices : risk preferences, overconfidence or competitiveness?

Veldhuizen, Roel van - 2017

A large number of recent experimental studies show that women are less likely to sort into competitive environments. While part of this effect may be explained by gender differences in risk attitudes and overconfidence, previous studies have attributed the majority of the gender gap to gender...

Rationality is not consistency

Caliari, Daniele - 2023

We challenge the standard definition of economic rationality as consistency by making use of a novel distinction between axioms of decision theory: consistency and preference axioms. We argue that this distinction has been overlooked by the literature and, as a result, evidence that consistency...

Identifying time variability in stock and interest rate dependence

Stein, Michael; Islami, Mevlud; Lindemann, Jens - 2012

The correlation between stock markets and interest rates has been discussed in numerous studies in the past, with differing results in terms of strength and direction of the relationship. This paper uses models of the multivariate GARCH type which allow for time-variability and regime changes in...

Analyzing business and financial cycles using multi-level factor models

Breitung, Jörg; Eickmeier, Sandra - 2014

This paper compares alternative estimation procedures for multi-level factor models which imply blocks of zero restrictions on the associated matrix of factor loadings. We suggest a sequential least squares algorithm for minimizing the total sum of squared residuals and a two-step approach based...

Koziol, Christian; Koziol, Philipp; Schön, Thomas - 2014

Correlated defaults and systemic risk are clearly priced in credit portfolio securities such as CDOs or index CDSs. In this paper we study an extensive CDX data set for evidence whether correlated defaults are also present in the underlying CDS market. We develop a cash flow based top-down...

Outlier robust small area estimation under spatial correlation

Schmid, Timo; Tzavidis, Nikos; Münnich, Ralf T.; … - 2015

Modern systems of official statistics require the estimation and publication of business statistics for disaggregated domains, for example, industry domains and geographical regions. Outlier robust methods have proven to be useful for small area estimation. Recently proposed outlier robust...

Inference on the maximal rank of time-varying covariance matrices using high-frequency data

Reiß, Markus; Winkelmann, Lars - 2021

We study the rank of the instantaneous or spot covariance matrix Σ(t) of a multidimensional continuous semi … problem is that the inherent averaging in local covariance statistics produces a bias that distorts the rank statistics. We …-driven critical values via normed p-variations of estimated local covariance matrices. The methods are illustrated by simulations and …
