Distance matters!: Evidence from professional team sports
Oberhofer, Harald; Philippovich, Tassilo; Winner, Hannes - 2008
This paper assesses the role of distance in professional team sports, taking the example of football (soccer). We argue that a team's performance in terms of scored and conceded goals decreases with the distance to the foreign playing venue. To test this hypothesis empirically, we investigate...

Censored Quantile Regressions and the Length of Unemployment Periods in West Germany
Lüdemann, Elke; Wilke, Ralf A.; Zhang, Xuan - 2004
We apply censored quantile regressions to representative German register data with more than 91,000 observations in order to determine crucial factors that influence the distribution of unemployment duration in West Germany during the 1980s and 1990s. We find that the effect of some regressors...

Imposing and testing curvature conditions on a Box-Cox function
Koebel, Bertrand M.; Falk, Martin; Laisney, François - 2000
We present a new method for imposing and testing concavity of a cost function using asymptotic least squares, which can easily be implemented even for cost functions which are nonlinear in parameters. We provide an illustration on the basis of a (generalized) Box-Cox cost function with six...

International Stock Return Predictability Under Model Uncertainty
Schrimpf, Andreas - 2008
This paper examines return predictability when the investor is uncertain about the right state variables. A novel feature of the model averaging approach used in this paper is to account for finite-sample bias of the coefficients in the predictive regressions. Drawing on an extensive...
