Abstract: This study provides a case that the Thompson Waller estimator would have downward bias, which has not been carefully discussed in the literature. Such case is that (i) the buy (sell) order tends to follow buy (sell) order and (ii) the price change associated to such orders are small....

Wie gut verstehen wir, wie sich Menschen heute oder besser noch morgen bewegen möchten? Wie gut, flexibel und schnell antizipiert die Automobilindustrie diese neuen Chancen der Märkte? Sind die Automobilunternehmen in der Lage, neue Konzepte anzubieten und damit die Kauflust ohne Förderung zu...

Der 5. Sachstandsbericht des Weltklimarates (IPCC) macht unmissverständlich klar: Inakzeptable Klimafolgen, die sich jenseits der 2°C-Leitplanke häufen dürften, können nur vermieden werden, wenn der weitere Anstieg der Treibhausgaskonzentration so bald wie möglich gestoppt wird. Der WBGU...

Für die Transformation zur nachhaltigen Entwicklung hat das Jahr 2015 eine besondere Bedeutung. Neue Ziele für nachhaltige Entwicklung (Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs) sollen die dann auslaufenden Millenniumentwicklungsziele (MDGs) ablösen und dem politischen Handeln für die kommenden...

For our experiment on corruption, we designed a coordination game to model the influence of risk attitudes, beliefs, and information on behavioral choices and determined the equilibria. We observed that the risk attitude of the participant failed to explain their choices between corrupt and...

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita is often used as an indicator of standard of living in an economy. GDP per capita observed over the years can be modelled using time series models. A new class of GARMA has been introduced in the time series literature to reveal some hidden features in...

This article reviews the development of low energy and sustainable housing in the UK and Germany. It illustrates that despite their close geographical proximity substantially different approaches have been applied in the two countries in the pursuit of an energy efficient, domestic built...

In response to the growing demand for zero-energy housing, today's home needs not only to be energy-efficient, but also to provide part of its own energy requirements. The energy efficiency may be improved by applying high thermal performance building envelope and passive energy and...

This paper describes conditions under which one investment project dominates a second project in terms of net present value, irrespective of the choice of the discount rate. The resulting partial ordering of projects has certain similarities to stochastic dominance. However, the structure of the...

Statistical properties of designs with two kinds of treatments: basic and supplementary, are examined. The basic treatments are arranged randomly in an ([alpha]1,[alpha]2,...,[alpha]R)-resolvable block design. This basic design is orthogonally supplemented by some orthogonal addition of the...

Standard statistical mechanical approximations (e.g. mean-field approximations) for pair-correlation functions of strongly interacting systems that yield adequate thermodynamics away from critical points typically break down badly in critical regions. The self-consistent Ornstein–Zernike...

This paper studies information collecting (IC) situations with the help of cooperative game theory. Relations are established between IC situations and IC games on one hand and information sharing (IS) situations and IS games on the other hand. Further, it is shown that IC games are convex...
