Modeling Asset Returns: A Comparison of Theoretical and Empirical Models

Lüders, Erik; Schröder, Michael - 2004

This paper presents and compares several time-series models for returns of broadbased stock indices. These models nest a nonlinear asymmetric GARCH (NGARCH) model as a special case. Some of these models are empirically motivated ad-hoc specifications others are derived from a representative...

A Simulation Method to Measure the Tax Burden on Highly Skilled Manpower

Elschner, Christina; Schwager, Robert - 2004

A model is presented for simulating the tax burden on highly skilled manpower. The effective average tax rate, defined as the relative wedge between total remuneration and disposable income, is computed. Income and payroll taxes and social security contributions not yielding an equivalent...

Peer Effects in European Primary Schools: Evidence from PIRLS

Ammermüller, Andreas; Pischke, Jörn-Steffen - 2006

We estimate peer effects for fourth graders in six European countries. The identification relies on variation across classes within schools. We argue that classes within primary schools are formed roughly randomly with respect to family background. Similar to previous studies, we find sizeable...

The impact of monetary instruments on shock absorption in EU-Countries

Müller, Claudia; Buscher, Herbert S. - 1999

The main characteristic of the implementation of the European Monetary Union (EMU) is the transition from various national currencies to the Euro, the common European currency. A final fixing of the individual bilateral exchange rates of all European countries involved in the Monetary Union...

Labour mobility - an adjustment mechanism in Euroland? Empirical evidence for Western Germany, France and Italy

Puhani, Patrick A. - 1999

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate whether labour mobility is likely to act as a sufficient adjustment mechanism in the face of asymmetric shocks in Euroland. To this end, we estimate the elasticity of migration with respect to changes in unemployment and income on the basis of regional...

The effective average tax burden in the European Union and the USA: a computer-based calculation and comparison with the model of the European tax analyzer

Jacobs, Otto H.; Spengel, Christoph - 1999

In this paper we present a computer-based model (so-called European Tax Analyzer) for the international computation and comparison of company tax burdens. The methodology follows the forward-looking concepts for the measurement of effective average tax rates (EATR) on the basis of a model-firm....
