The impact of physician preferences and patient habits on the diffusion of new drugs
Johannesson, Magnus (contributor);  … - 2001 - [Elektronische Ressource], First version: April, 2001, Rev. August 12, 2002
We study the choice of drug for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) in Sweden between 1988-1994. During this time period calcium antagonists and ACE-inhibitors increased their market shares at the expense of the older drugs diuretics and beta-blockers. We use a prescription micro...

Testing for unit roots in nonlinear dynamic heterogeneous panels
He, Changli (contributor); Sandberg, Rickard (contributor) - 2005 - [Elektronische Ressource]
In this paper we present a unit root test against a nonlinear dynamic heterogenous panel with each cross section modelled as an LSTAR model. All parameters are viewed as cross section specific. We allow for serially correlated residuals over time and heterogenous variance among cross sections....

Parametric covariance matrix modeling in Bayesian panel regression
Salabasis, Mickael (contributor) - 2004 - [Elektronische Ressource], Rev. February 16, 2005
The full Bayesian treatment of error component models typically relies on data augmentation to produce the required inference. Never stricly necessary a direct approach is always possible though not necessarily practical. The mechanics of direct sampling are outlined and a template for including...

Determing the number of regimes in a threshold autoregressive model using smooth transition autoregressions
Strikholm, Birgit (contributor);  … - 2005 - [Elektronische Ressource], Rev. February 11, 2005
In this paper we propose a method for determining the number of regimes in threshold autoregressive models using smooth transition autoregression as a tool. As the smooth transition model is just an approximation to the threshold autoregressive one, no asymptotic properties are claimed for the...

The cutting power of preparation
Tercieux, Olivier (contributor);  … - 2005 - [Elektronische Ressource]
In a strategic game, a curb set [Basu and Weibull, Econ. Letters 36 (1991) 141] is a product set of pure strategies containing all best responses ro every possible belief restricted to this set. Prep sets [Voorneveld, Games Econ. Behav. 48 (2004) 403] relax this condition by only requiring the...

Does adverse selection matter? : Evidence from a natural experiment
Grönqvist, Erik (contributor) - 2004 - [Elektronische Ressource]
The empirical evidence of adverse selection in insurance markets is mixed. The problem in assessing the extent of adverse selection is that private information, on which agents act, is generally unobservable to the researcher, which makes it difficult to distinguish between adverse selection and...

Information updating and insurance dropout : evidence from dental insurance
Grönqvist, Erik (contributor) - 2004 - [Elektronische Ressource]
Micro data from a dental insurance natural experiment is used to analyze why agents opt out of insurance. The purpose is to relate the dropout decision to new information on risk, acquired by the policy holder and the insurer. The results show that agents tend to leave the insurance when...
