When Category-based Indices Encounter Non-independent Categories: Solving the Taxonomy Issue in Resource-based Empirical Studies

Huo, Dong; Motohashi, Kazuyuki - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2013

may fail to produce a valid measurement, and this unmeasured relatedness can result in endogeneity in empirical analyses … solution framework. In addition, this study thoroughly examines validity such as content validity, convergent validity …, discriminant validity, internal consistency, and criterion-related validity. The results reveal that this approach performs as …

Measuring Macroeconomic Uncertainty in Zimbabwe

Bonga, Wellington Garikai - 2019

What matters to economic decision-making is whether the economy has become more or less predictable. People and businesses use information around them to form judgements about what might happen in the future. The rise in uncertainty might be associated with increased concern about extreme...

Estimation and model selection for left-truncated and right-censored lifetime data with application to electric power transformers analysis

Emura, Takeshi; Shiu, Shau-Kai - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2014

In lifetime analysis of electric transformers, the maximum likelihood estimation has been proposed with the EM algorithm. However, it is not clear whether the EM algorithm offers a better solution compared to the simpler Newton-Raphson algorithm. In this paper, the first objective is a...

Additive measures of travel time variability

Engelson, Leonid; Fosgerau, Mogens - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2011

This paper derives a measure of travel time variability for travellers equipped with scheduling preferences defined in terms of time-varying utility rates, and who choose departure time optimally. The corresponding value of travel time variability is a constant that depends only on preference...

The value of travel time variance

Fosgerau, Mogens; Engelson, Leonid - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2010

This paper considers the value of travel time variability under scheduling preferences that are de�fined in terms of linearly time-varying utility rates associated with being at the origin and at the destination. The main result is a simple expression for the value of travel time variability...

Congestion costs in bottleneck equilibrium with stochastic capacity and demand

Fosgerau, Mogens - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2008

I analyse congestion costs in the Vickrey bottleneck model of a congestible facility with a peak load in demand. The shape of the peak is endogenous, being the sum of individual scheduling decisions. Capacity and demand are random, which introduces uncertainty into the individual scheduling...
