Demand uncertainty in skill-based competition : conference paper
Artinger, Sabrina - 2013 - Preprint submitted to March 1, 2013
How does demand uncertainty affect entry into skill-based competition? I investigate this question in a market entry … experiment with skill-based payoffs by systematically varying two key elements of the market environment: demand risk and … expected market size. Results show that people's reactions to demand risk depend on the market size: in small markets people …

Estimation of linear dynamic panel data models with time-invariant regressors : conference paper
Kripfganz, Sebastian; Schwarz, Claudia - 2013 - This version: May 6, 2013
This paper considers estimation methods and inference for linear dynamic panel data models with unit-specific heterogeneity and a short time dimension. In particular, we focus on the identification of the coefficients of time-invariant variables in a dynamic version of the Hausman and Taylor...

Unraveling the relationship between presidential approval and the economy : a multi-dimensional semi-parametric approach ; conference paper
Berlemann, Michael; Enkelmann, Soeren; Kuhlenkasper, Torben - 2013
Empirical studies analyzing the determinants of U.S. presidential popularity have delivered quite inconclusive results concerning the role of economic variables by assuming linear relationships. We employ penalized spline smoothing in the context of semi-parametric additive mixed models and...

The StoNED age : the departure into a new era of efficiency analysis? : a MC study comparing StoNED and the "Oldies" (SFA and DEA) conference paper
Andor, Mark Andreas; Hesse, Frederik - 2013
Based on the seminal paper of Farrell (1957), researchers have developed several methods for measuring e fficiency. Nowadays, the most prominent representatives are nonparametric data envelopment analysis (DEA) and parametric stochastic frontier analysis (SFA), both introduced in the late 1970s....

Optimal directions for directional distance functions : an exploration of potential reductions of greenhouse gases ; conference paper
Hampf, Benjamin; Krüger, Jens - 2013
This study explores the reduction potential of greenhouse gases for major pollution emitting countries of the world using nonparametric productivity measurement methods and directional distance functions. In contrast to the existing literature we apply optimization methods to endogenously...
