Economic models often depend on quantities that are unobservable, either for privacy reasons or because they are difficult to measure. Examples of such variables include human capital (or ability), personal income, unobserved heterogeneity (such as consumer "types"), etc. This situation has...

Wie ließe sich die große Vielfalt an funktionalen Geldsystemen systematisch erfassen und übersichtlich darstellen? Und, weil viele monetäre Wirkungsweisen umstritten sind, konkreter: Wie müsste eine grundlegende Wissensordnung zu Geldsystemen aufgebaut sein, damit sie für die untereinander...

In der Debatte über die Pluralisierung der Volkswirtschaftslehre sind Beiträge aus der Nachbardisziplin der Soziologie bisher kaum aufgegriffen worden. Dabei hat sich hier mit der Neuen Wirtschaftssoziologie ein Forschungsstrang etabliert, dessen Selbstverständnis dezidiert in einer...

The methodology of KLEMS productivity accounting is oriented towards determining the sources of economic growth. The accounting involves the decomposition of the relative growth of selected variables representing economic activity, usually gross output or gross value added, into contributions of...

Für jede wissenschaftliche Arbeit, mit der auf empirischem Wege neue Erkenntnisse generiert werden sollen, sind zuvor methodologische Überlegungen anzustellen, die den geplanten Erkenntnis- bzw. Forschungsprozess leiten. Im Bewusstsein, dass Welterkennen nur in einem Wechselspiel zwischen...

In this chapter, we discuss field experiments in surveys that are conducted with the purpose of learning about expectation formation and the link between expectations and behavior. We begin by reviewing the rationale for conducting experiments within surveys, rather than just relying on...

"Now in its third edition, Essential Econometric Techniques: A Guide to Concepts and Applications is a concise, student-friendly textbook which provides an introductory grounding in econometrics, with an emphasis on the proper application and interpretation of results. Drawing on the author's...

Risk measures play a vital role in many subfields of economics and finance. It has been proposed that risk measures could be analysed in relation to the performance of variables extracted from empirical real-world data. For example, risk measures may help inform effective monetary and fiscal...

Humans communicate their activities and performance in several ways (word of mouth, signs, written language, webpage, social networks, etc.). Currently, businesses use different mechanisms to communicate their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities to foster their reputation, consumer...

Purpose: This paper aims at identifying obstacles, benefits, leading practices and lessons learned in the transition/certification of the revised standard for quality management systems ISO 9001:2015 for organizations in various sector, countries and spanning a range of sizes....

This book brings together various contributions on research methods that can be qualified as innovative or alternative in the fields of economics and management. The idea came about during a discussion with colleagues from these disciplines. We had all explored and deepened our understandings of...

Audit correspondence studies are field experiments that test for discriminatory behavior in active markets. Researchers measure discrimination by comparing how responsive individuals ("audited units") are to correspondences from different types of people. This paper elaborates on the tradeoffs...

In the past several decades the experimental method has lent deep insights into economics. One perhaps surprising area that has contributed is the experimental study of children, where advances as varied as the evolution of human behaviors that shape markets and institutions, to how early life...

Economic data engineering deliberately designs novel forms of data to solve fundamental identification problems associated with economic models of choice. I outline three diverse applications: to the economics of information; to life-cycle employment, earnings, and spending; and to public policy...

Linear panel models, and the "event-study plots" that often accompany them, are popular tools for learning about policy effects. We discuss the construction of event-study plots and suggest ways to make them more informative. We examine the economic content of different possible identifying...

With the field of computational statistics growing rapidly, there is a need for capturing the advances and assessing their impact. Advances in simulation and graphical analysis also add to the pace of the statistical analytics field. Computational statistics play a key role in financial...

The structure follows a typical technology development document that...

We show that a June 2002 reform in Morningstar's mutual fund rating methodology led to substantial drop in the profitability of momentum-related asset pricing factors. Before the reform, funds pursuing the same investment style had correlated ratings heavily influenced by recent style...
