Model specification and selection are recurring themes in econometric analysis. Both topics become considerably more complicated in the case of large-dimensional data sets where the set of specification possibilities can become quite large. In the context of linear regression models, penalised...

Ziel des vorgestellten Projekts war, das Merkmal Vollzeit/Teilzeit des Tätigkeitsschlüssels in den Integrierten Erwerbsbiografien der Bundesagentur für Arbeit zu korrigieren. Dies sollte mithilfe des auch in der Verdienststrukturerhebung vorhandenen, aber manuell korrigierten Schlüssels...

Credit risk measurement and management become more important in all financial institutions in the light of the current financial crisis and the global recession. This particularly applies to most of the complex structured financing forms whose risk cannot be quantified with com-mon rating...

Potentially adverse human and environmental effects due to hormone mimicry of environmental estrogens are a matter of current concern. Environmental estrogens belong to the so-called endocrine active compounds (EAC), which alter signalling processes of the endocrine system leading to a broad...

In this paper models for claim frequency and claim size in non-life insurance are considered. Both covariates and spatial random effects are included allowing the modelling of a spatial dependency pattern. We assume a Poisson model for the number of claims, while claim size is modelled using a...
