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...

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...

Overreaction and Multiple Tail Dependence at the High-frequency Level — The Copula Rose

Ng, Wing Lon - Sonderforschungsbereich 649: Ökonomisches Risiko, … - 2006

This paper applies a non- and a semiparametric copula-based approach to analyze the first-order autocorrelation of returns in high frequency financial time series. Using the EUREX D3047 tick data from the German stock index, it can be shown that the temporal dependence structure of price...

Graphical Data Representation in Bankruptcy Analysis

Härdle, Wolfgang; Moro, Rouslan; Schäfer, Dorothea - Sonderforschungsbereich 649: Ökonomisches Risiko, … - 2006

Graphical data representation is an important tool for model selection in bankruptcy analysis since the problem is highly non-linear and its numerical representation is much less transparent. In classical rating models a convenient representation of ratings in a closed form is possible reducing...

Chen, Ying; Härdle, Wolfgang K.; He, Qiang; Majer, Piotr - Sonderforschungsbereich 649: Ökonomisches Risiko, … - 2015

Risk attitude and perception is reflected in brain reactions during RPID experiments. Given the fMRI data, an important research question is how to detect risk related regions and to investigate the relation between risk preferences and brain activity. Conventional methods are often insensitive...
