Realized variances vs. correlations : unlocking the gains in multivariate volatility forecasting
Capera Romero, Laura; Opschoor, Anne - 2024
This paper disentangles the added value of using high-frequency-based (realized) covariance measures on multivariate volatility forecasting into two pillars: the realized variances and realized correlations and quantifies the corresponding economic gains using a broad set of portfolio...

Consolidation waves
Berg, Ward A. van den; Smit, Han T. J. - 2007
This paper explains why consolidation acquisitions occur in waves and it predicts the differing role each firm is likely to play in the consolidation game. We propose that whether a firm assumes the role of rival consolidator, target, or passive observer depends on the position of the firm...

Biases in willingness-to-pay measures from multinomial logit estimates due to unobserved heterogeneity
Berg, Vincent A. C. van den; Kroes, Eric; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2010
It is a common finding in empirical discrete choice studies that the estimated mean relative values of the coefficients (i.e. WTP's) from multinomial logit (MNL) estimations differ from those calculated using mixed logit estimations, where the mixed logit has the better statistical fit. However,...

Cross-border Mergers & Acquisitions : a piece of the natural resource curse puzzle
Swart, Julia; Marrewijk, Charles van - 2009
We combine the resource curse literature with the literature on cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&As) to investigate two hypotheses, namely (i) natural resources wealth: countries with a comparative advantage in natural resources attract more M&As in natural resource intensive sectors and...

The pollution effects of mergers and acquisitions : asymmetry, disaggregation, and multilateralism
Swart, Julia; Marrewijk, Charles van - 2011
This paper studies the impact of cross-border Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As) on Carbon Dioxide emissions. Carbon Dioxide is the main anthropogenic greenhouse gas. A global problem that requires a multilateral solution. To take this into account we introduce an institutional variable, which...
