Firm specific wage spread in Germany: decomposition of regional differences in inter firm wage dispersion

Görzig, Bernd; Gornig, Martin; Werwatz, Axel - 2006

structures. A non-parametric decomposition is used to analyse firm level difference between the wage spread in the two major … regions of unified Germany. If firm-specific effects explain wage dispersion between firms, a decomposition of the wage … dispersion between firms is necessary. The decomposition can help to find out, whether the economy-wide results for different …

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. The data on occupational changes made for the sake of adjustment to the changes in the demand structure come from the German reunification of 1990. Endogenous occupational changes are instrumented...

Testing missing at random using instrumental variables

Breunig, Christoph - 2015

This paper proposes a test for missing at random (MAR). The MAR assumption is shown to be testable given instrumental variables which are independent of response given potential outcomes. A nonparametric testing procedure based on integrated squared distance is proposed. The statistic's...

Tail event driven ASset allocation: Evidence from equity and mutual funds' markets

Härdle, Wolfgang Karl; Lee, David Kuo Chuen; Nasekin, … - 2015

Classical asset allocation methods have assumed that the distribution of asset returns is smooth, well behaved with stable statistical moments over time. The distribution is assumed to have constant moments with e.g., Gaussian distribution that can be conveniently parameterised by the first two...

Price discovery in the markets for credit risk: A Markov switching approach

Dimpfl, Thomas Ernst Herbert; Peter, Franziska Julia - 2015

We examine price discovery in the Credit Default Swap and corporate bond market. By using a Markov switching framework we are able to analyze the dynamic behavior of the information shares during tranquil and crisis periods. The results show that price discovery takes place mostly on the CDS...
