Stochastic expected utility and prospect theory in a horse race : a finite mixture approach
Bruhin, Adrian - 2008
This study compares the performance of Prospect Theory versus Stochastic Expected Utility Theory at fitting data on … Allais paradox or the fourfold pattern of risk attitudes. Stochastic Expected Utility Theory parsimoniously extends the … standard microeconomic model, whereas Prospect Theory, the benchmark for aggregate choice so far, is based on psychological …

Copula-based bivariate binary response models
Winkelmann, Rainer - 2009
The bivariate probit model is frequently used for estimating the effect of an endogenous binary regressor on a binary outcome variable. This paper discusses simple modifications that maintain the probit assumption for the marginal distributions while introducing non-normal dependence among the...

A Regime-Switching Copula Approach to Modeling Day-Ahead Prices in Coupled Electricity Markets (Pre-print)
Pircalabu, Anca - 2017
The recent price coupling of many European electricity markets has triggered a fundamental change in the interaction of day-ahead prices, challenging additionally the modeling of the joint behavior of prices in interconnected markets. In this paper we propose a regime-switching AR-GARCH copula...

Modeling stock-oil co-dependence with Dynamic Stochastic MIDAS Copula models
Nguyen, Hoang; Virbickaite, Audrone - 2022
Stock and oil relationship is usually time-varying and depends on the current economic conditions. In this study, we propose a new Dynamic Stochastic Mixed data frequency sampling (DSM) copula model, that decomposes the stock-oil relationship into a short-run dynamic stochastic component and a...

Simulating WTP values from random-coefficient models
Rischatsch, Maurus - 2009
Discrete Choice Experiments (DCEs) designed to estimate willingness-to-pay (WTP) values are very popular in health economics. With increased computation power and advanced simulation techniques, random-coefficient models have gained an increasing importance in applied work as they allow for...

Bounds on counterfactual distributions under semi-monotonicity constraints
Boes, Stefan - 2009
This paper explores semi-monotonicity constraints in the distribution of potential outcomes, first, conditional on an instrument, and second, in terms of the response function. The imposed assumptions are strictly weaker than traditional instrumental variables assumptions and can be gainfully...

Partial identification of discrete counterfactual distributions with sequential update of information
Boes, Stefan - 2009
The credibility of standard instrumental variables assumptions is often under dispute. This paper imposes weak monotonicity in order to gain information on counterfactual outcomes, but avoids independence or exclusion restrictions. The outcome process is assumed to be sequentially ordered,...

Adaptive models and heavy tails
Delle Monache, Davide; Petrella, Ivan - 2014
This paper proposes a novel and flexible framework to estimate autoregressive models with time-varying parameters. Our setup nests various adaptive algorithms that are commonly used in the macroeconometric literature, such as learning-expectations and forgetting-factor algorithms. These are...

Fat-tails in VAR models
Chiu, Ching Wai Jeremy; Mumtaz, Haroon; Pinter, Gabor - 2014
We confirm that standard time-series models for US output growth, inflation, interest rates and stock market returns feature non-Gaussian error structure. We build a 4-variable VAR model where the orthogonolised shocks have a Student t-distribution with a time-varying variance. We find that in...
