Explaining the persisting mathematics test score gap between boys and girls
Sprietsma, Maresa - 2010
This paper provides evidence on the sources of the persisting mathematics test score gap between boys and girls. In … particular, we investigate the role of the share of female mathematics teachers in secondary school and of pupils self …-confidence and extrinsic motivation in mathematics. We find that the share of female mathematics teachers does not seem to affect …

Flexibilität der qualifikatorischen Lohnstruktur und Lastverteilung der Arbeitslosigkeit : eine ökonometrische Analyse für Westdeutschland
Fitzenberger, Bernd; Franz, Wolfgang - 1998
Dieser Beitrag nimmt aus theoretischer und ökonometrischer Sicht zu der Kontroverse über die Bedeutung der qualifikatorischen Lohnstruktur zur Erklärung der Beschäftigungsstruktur Stellung. Basierend auf einer Einteilung in drei Qualifikationsgruppen zeigt sich empirisch, dass die Entlohnung...

Shock around the clock : on the causal relations between international stock markets, the strength of causality and the intensity of shock transmission : an econometric analysis
Dornau, Robert - 1998
This paper investigates empirically the interrelationships between the daily stock market returns of the Nikkei 225, DAX and Dow Jones Industrial index. Contrary to former work this paper uses the succession of the markets in time to form different econometric models. In this way it is possible...

Quantification of qualitative data using ordered probit models with an application to a business survey in the German service sector
Kaiser, Ulrich; Spitz, Alexandra - 2000
This paper aims at providing business survey analysts with simple econometric tools to quantify qualitative survey data. We extend the traditional and commonly applied method proposed by Carlson and Parkin (1975) to capture observable survey respondent heterogeneity. We also discuss...

Finding relevant variables in sparse Bayesian factor models : economic applications and simulation results
Kaufmann, Sylvia; Schumacher, Christian - 2012
This paper considers factor estimation from heterogenous data, where some of the variables are noisy and only weakly informative for the factors. To identify the irrelevant variables, we search for zero rows in the loadings matrix of the factor model. To sharply separate these irrelevant...
