Peer effects and students' self-control

Buechel, Berno; Mechtenberg, Lydia; Petersen, Julia - 2014

We conducted a multi-wave field experiment to study the interaction of peer effects and selfcontrol among undergraduate students. We use a behavioral measure of self-control based on whether students achieve study related goals they have set for themselves. We find that both self-control and the...

Time-varying occupational contents: An additional link between occupational task profiles and individual wages

Fedorets, Alexandra - 2011

By analyzing occupational task profiles, an occupational change can be split up into two components: (1) transferability of task portfolios between occupations and (2) change in the value of the occupation-employee match. Extending the task-based approach of Gathmann and Schönberg (2009) by...

Changes in occupational demand structure and their impact on individual wages

Fedorets, Alexandra - 2011

This paper estimates wage losses arising due to changes in the structure of demand for occupations.

De copulis non estdisputandum Copulae: An Overview

Härdle, Wolfgang; Okhrin, Ostap - Sonderforschungsbereich Ökonomisches Risiko <Berlin> - 2009

Normal distribution of the residuals is the traditional assumption in the classicalmultivariate time series models. Nevertheless it is not very often consistent with the real data.Copulae allows for an extension of the classical time series models to nonelliptically distributedresiduals. In this...

Choroś, Barbara; Härdle, Wolfgang; Okhrin, Ostap - Sonderforschungsbereich Ökonomisches Risiko <Berlin> - 2009

Modeling the portfolio credit risk is one of the crucial issues of the last yearsin the financial problems. We propose the valuation model of Collateralized DebtObligations based on a one- and two-parameter copula and default intensities estimatedfrom market data. The presented method is used to...
