Stochastic Population Analysis: A Functional Data Approach

Fang, Lei; Härdle, Wolfgang K. - Sonderforschungsbereich 649: Ökonomisches Risiko, … - 2015

Based on the Lee-Carter (LC) model, the benchmark in population forecasting, a variety of extensions and modifications are proposed in this paper. We investigate one of the extensions, the Hyndman-Ullah (HU) method and apply it to Asian demographic data sets: China, Japan and Taiwan. It combines...

Telling the Truth May Not Pay Off: An Empirical Study of Centralised University Admissions in Germany

Braun, Sebastian; Dwenger, Nadja; Kübler, Dorothea - Sonderforschungsbereich 649: Ökonomisches Risiko, … - 2007

We investigate the matching algorithm used by the German central clearinghouse for university admissions (ZVS) in … criteria applied for admission they all make use of priority matching. In priority matching schemes, it is not a dominant … applicants, we are able to detect some amount of strategic behaviour which can lead to inefficient matching. Alternative ways to …

Preference for Randomization: Empirical and Experimental Evidence

Dwenger, Nadja; Kübler, Dorothea; Weizsäcker, Georg - Sonderforschungsbereich 649: Ökonomisches Risiko, … - 2013

We investigate violations of consequentialism in the form of the stochastic dominance property. The property is shared by many theories of choice and implies that the decision-maker prefers receiving the best outcome for sure over all lotteries that involve multiple outcomes. We run experiments...

Fitting high-dimensional Copulae to Data

Okhrin, Ostap - Sonderforschungsbereich 649: Ökonomisches Risiko, … - 2010

This paper make an overview of the copula theory from a practical side. We consider different methods of copula estimation and different Goodness-of-Fit tests for model selection. In the GoF section we apply Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Cramer-von-Mises type tests and calculate power of these tests...

Time varying Hierarchical Archimedean Copulae

Härdle, Wolfgang Karl; Okhrin, Ostap; Okhrin, Yarema - Sonderforschungsbereich 649: Ökonomisches Risiko, … - 2010

There is increasing demand for models of time-varying and non-Gaussian dependencies for mul- tivariate time-series. Available models suffer from the curse of dimensionality or restrictive assumptions on the parameters and the distribution. A promising class of models are the hierarchical...

Prognose mit nichtparametrischen Verfahren

Härdle, Wolfgang Karl; Schulz, Rainer; Wang, Weining - Sonderforschungsbereich 649: Ökonomisches Risiko, … - 2010

Statistische Prognosen basieren auf der Annahme, dass ein funktionaler Zusammenhang zwischen der zu prognostizierenden Variable y und anderen j-dimensional beobachtbaren Variablen x = (x1,...xl) besteht. Kann der funktionale Zusammenhang geschätzt werden, so kann im Prinzip für jedes x der...
