Neben einer theoretischen Analyse ausgewählter klassischer und moderner Performancemaße präsentieren wir in diesem Papier eine speziell zum Zweck der Performanceanalyse entwickelte Erweiterung des Funktionsumfanges von MS-Excel. Der vorgestellte VBA-Quellcode ermöglicht es, die beschriebenen...

The capabilities of the package exams for automatic generation of (statistical) exams in R are extended by adding support for learning management systems: As in earlier versions of the package exam generation is still based on separate Sweave files for each exercise - but rather than just...

A stable government is by definition not dominated by any other government. However, it may happen that all governments are dominated. In graph-theoretic terms this means that the dominance graph does not possess a source. In this paper we are able to deal with this case by a clever combination...

Computerised experiments play a vital part in the modern economic and social sciences. As the technology advances, more complex and sophisticated experiments become feasible. Fast internet connections are widely available today and mobile devices have become capable of running complex graphical...

This article is about individualising the process of giving advice to a retail customer in the field of asset allocation. With regard to this process, two main contributions are made by answering two questions. First, which objectives are relevant for a customer (beyond return and risk) and...

Medieval and Early-Modern business correspondence between European companies constitutes a rich source of economic, business, and trade information in that the writing of letters was the very instrument through which merchants ordered and organized the shipments of goods, and performed financial...

Accurately classifying products is essential in international trade. Virtually all countries categorize products into tariff lines using the Harmonized System (HS) nomenclature for both statistical and duty collection purposes. In this paper, we apply and assess several different algorithms to...

In this paper, we present a new version of the OPTCON algorithm for the optimal control of nonlinear stochastic systems with special reference to econometric models. It delivers approximate numerical solutions of optimum control problems with a quadratic objective function for nonlinear...
