This paper presents some limit theorems for certain functionals of moving averages of semimartingales plus noise, which are observed at high frequency. Our method generalizes the pre-averaging approach (see [13],[11]) and provides consistent estimates for various characteristics of general...

A central limit theorem for the weighted integrated squared error of kernel type estimators of the first two derivatives of a nonparametric regression function is proved by using results for martingale differences and U-statistics. The results focus on the setting of the Nadaraya-Watson...

Poisson regression models for count variables have been utilized in many applications. However, in many problems overdispersion and zeroinflation occur. We study in this paper regression models based on the generalized Poisson distribution (Consul (1989)). These regression models which have been...

This study revisits the widely used assumptions in long-term asset allocation: the normal distribution of long-horizon returns and the negligible impacts of estimation errors on the expected returns. This study uses the innovative simulation method of Fama and French (2018) for horizons of up to...

An accurate assessment of the risk of extreme environmental events is of great importance for populations, authorities and the banking/insurance/reinsurance industry. Koch (2017) introduced a notion of spatial risk measure and a corresponding set of axioms which are well suited to analyze the...

The central limit theorem says that, provided an estimator fulfills certain weak conditions, then, for reasonable sample sizes, the sampling distribution of the estimator converges to normality. We propose a procedure to find out what a "reasonably large sample size" is. The procedure is based...

In den Wirtschaftswissenschaften werden Risiken häufig mit dichotomen Zufallsvariablen modelliert. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird an Fallbeispielen untersucht, unter welchen Bedingungen für das Gesamtrisiko eines inhomogenen Portfolios von stochastisch unabhängigen dichotomen Risiken...
