In dieser Arbeit wird die Parameterschätzung in verschiedenen fehlspezifizierten ein- und mehrperiodigen Mehralternativen-Independent Probitmodellen untersucht. Bei der irrtümlichen Vernachlässigung der zugrunde liegenden kontemporären und intertemporalen Verknüpfungen können sich bei den...

In der empirischen Wirtschaftsforschung war die Parameterschätzung in Probitmodellen mit der Maximum-Likelihood-Methode (MLM) und der Verallgemeinerten Momentenmethode (GMM) in der Vergangenheit auf bestimmte Spezifikationen beschränkt. So wurde die MLM vor allem bei einfach strukturierten...

Die Simulated Maximum-Likelihood-Methode erlaubt die Schätzung von multinomialen Probitmodellen für Querschnitts- oder Paneldaten bei einer größeren Zahl von Entscheidungsalternativen. Im Rahmen von Monte-Carlo-Studien wird hier gezeigt, daß die Simulated Maximum-Likelihood-Methode bei...

This paper puts forward equity as an important structural element to understanding negotiation outcomes. We first advance bargaining theory to incorporate the self-serving use of equity. Agents are predicted to push equity principles which benefit them more than other parties, in particular...

Given the vital and controversial debate on fairness concerns in international climate negotiations, the acceptance of a climate treaty may be fostered if the distribution of costs and benefits from global environmental protection is perceived to be fair. Since an agreement must be acceptable to...

We have collected data from a world-wide survey among COP delegates to empirically investigate preferences for certain burden sharing rules among key groups in a setting that reflects the possibility of observing concessions from negotiating partners. In our survey, the participants had the...

This paper examines the extent and the determinants of individual global climate change be-liefs. In contrast to former studies, it is focused on China due to its crucial role in global cli-mate policy and its responsibility as the worldwide biggest producer of CO2 emissions. The empirical...

Given the vital and controversial debate on fairness concerns in international climate negotiations, the acceptance of a climate treaty may be fostered if the distribution of costs and benefits from global environmental protection is perceived to be "fair". Since an agreement must be acceptable...
