The main aim of this paper is to compare the size and size-adjusted power prop-erties of four residual-based and one maximum-likelihood-based panel cointegrationtests with the help of Monte Carlo simulations. In this study the panel-rho, the group-rho, the panel-t, the group-t statistics of...

In this paper we carry over the concept of reverse probabilistic representations developed in Milstein, Schoenmakers, Spokoiny (2004) for diffusion processes, to discrete time Markov chains. We outline the construction of reverse chains in several situations and apply this to processes which are...

Here we develop an approach for efficient pricing discrete-time American and Bermudan options which employs the fact that such options are equivalent to theEuropean ones with a consumption, combined with analysis of the market model over a small number of steps ahead. This approach allows...

This paper investigates the finite sample properties of confidence intervals for structural vector error correction models (SVECMs) with long-run identifying restrictions on the impulse response functions. The simulation study compares methods that are frequently used in applied SVECM studies...

In this paper, we review the most common specifications of discrete-time stochasticvolatility (SV) models and illustrate the major principles of corresponding MarkovChain Monte Carlo (MCMC) based statistical inference. We provide a hands-on approachwhich is easily implemented in empirical...

The traditional approach to measuring allocative efficiency is based on input prices, which are rarely known at the firm level. This paper proposes a new approach to measure allocative efficiency which is based on the output-oriented distance to the frontier in a profit technical efficiency...

In this paper we analyze the impact of various minimum taxation concepts oncorporate investment decisions. These investments can be realized in the form ofeither a real or a financial investment. In a quantitative analysis we refer to thefuture values of the investments as an indicator of...

Um den Antizipationsfehler der häufig in der Praxis angewandten Investitionsrechnungmit vereinfachter Steuerbemessungsgrundlage zu quantifizieren, wird in dieserArbeit eine Unternehmenssimulation auf Basis empirischer Daten entwickelt. Mittelseiner Monte Carlo-Simulation wird eine stochastische...

Durch die Internationalisierung der handelsrechtlichen Rechnungslegung wird auchdie steuerliche Gewinnermittlung Veränderungen unterliegen. Eine mögliche Entwicklungbesteht in der Übernahme der Einnahmen-Überschuss-Rechnung (EÜR)durch Unternehmen, die bislang den Vermögensvergleich...

Mit der österreichischen Steuerreform 2005 wurde die Möglichkeit der grenzüberschreitendenVerlustverrechnung im Rahmen der Gruppenbesteuerung eröffnet. Dievorliegende Arbeit untersucht den simultanen Einfluss von Gruppenbesteuerung undVerlustverrechnungsbeschränkungen auf das...
