Fairness versus efficiency : an experimental study of (mutual) gift giving

Güth, Werner; Kliemt, Hartmut; Ockenfels, Axel - 2000

Fairness is a strong concern as shown by the robust results of dictator giving and ultimatum experiments. Efficiency … provision games. In our experiment participants can increase efficiency by gift giving at the cost of reducing their own … for mutual gift giving. In both cases decisions can be conditioned on whether there is or there is not an efficiency gain …

Semiparametric analysis of German East-West migration intentions : facts and theory

Burda, Michael C.; Härdle, Wolfgang; Müller, Marlene; … - 1997

East-West migration in Germany peaked at the beginning of the 90s although the average wage gap between Eastern and Western Germany continues to average about 25%. We analyze the propensity to migrate using microdata from the German Socioeconomic Panel. Fitting a parametric Generalized Linear...

The Beveridge-Nelson decomposition : a different perspective with new results

Gómez, Víctor; Breitung, Jörg - 1998

We show in the paper that the decomposition proposed by Beveridge and Nelson (1981) for models that are integrated of order one can be generalized to seasonal Arima models by means of a partial fraction decomposition. Two equivalent algorithms are proposed to optimally (in the mean squared...

A note on stochastic volatility, GARCH models, and hyperbolic distributions

Jaschke, Stefan R. - 1997

We establish a relation between stochastic volatility models and the class of generalized hyperbolic distributions. These distributions have been found to fit exceptionally well to the empirical distribution of stock returns. We review the background of hyperbolic distributions and prove...

Finance, investment, and firm value in Germany and the US : a comparative analysis

Nowak, Eric - 1998

Germany and the United States are generally seen as the two competing systems of corporate governance. In search for a comparative welfare analysis of the financial systems, we are interested in (i) the aggregate value-added of corporate investments in the two countries and in (ii) the...

Flexible stochastic volatility structures for high frequency financial data

Feldmann, David; Härdle, Wolfgang; Hafner, Christian M.; … - 1998

Stochastic Volatility (SV) models are widely used in financial applications. To decide whether standard parametric restrictions are justified for a given dataset, a statistical test is required. In this paper, we develop such a test based on the linear state space representation. We provide a...

Corporate restructuring, downsizing and managerial compensation

Graßhoff, Ulrike; Schwalbach, Joachim - 1997

There is common consensus that managerial compensation is strongly tied to firm size and much less so to financial performance. One suspects that observed restructuring and downsizing in corporations in recent years may have an effect on these results. Based on multi-task theoretical...
