Rebellion against Reason? A Study of Expressive Choice and Strikes
Brunnschweiler, Christa N.; Jennings, Colin; MacKenzie, … - 2012
In this paper we challenge the conventional view that strikes are caused by asymmetric information regarding firm … profitability such that union members are uninformed. Instead, we build an expressive model of strikes where the perception of … offers and the incidence of strikes. Furthermore, while asymmetric information is still important in causing strikes, we find …

On strike insurance
Goerke, Laszlo; Schnabel, Claus - 2002
A strike insurance is integrated into a model based on one-sided private information of the firm. It is shown that the strike insurance will increase the dispute level if payments to the insurance are lump-sum or if payments from the insurance are proportional to wages. However, if wages affect...

Threshold Stochastic Conditional Duration Model for Transaction Data
Wirjanto, Tony S. - 2015
This paper proposes a threshold stochastic conditional duration (SCD) model for financial data at the transaction level. In addition to assuming that the innovations of the duration process follow a threshold distribution with positive support, we also assume that the latent first-order...

Bayesian Inference of Asymmetric Stochastic Conditional Duration Models
Men, Zhongxian - 2015
This paper extends a stochastic conditional duration (SCD) model for financial transaction data to allow for correlation between error processes or innovations of observed duration process and latent log duration process with the aim of improving the statistical fit of the model. Suitable...
