Mit vielen Beispielen im Text versehene Einführung für Studenten der Betriebswirtschaftslehre, die aber auch für Praktiker geeignet ist, die sich den Stoff im Selbststudium erarbeiten wollen (4. Auflage vgl. BA 10/02). Für die 7. Auflage (die 5. und 6. Auflage lagen zum Vergleich nicht vor)...

Zuverlässige Aussagen über die weitere Entwicklung unserer Volkswirtschaft, der Güter- und Finanzmärkte oder eines Betriebes sind nicht nur für Politiker und Unternehmer von großer Bedeutung, sondern betreffen auch jeden Einzelnen. In diesem Buch wird in kompakter Form die Fortsetzung...

A multivariate structural time series model is applied to the factor inputs of a production function (or components thereof) to estimate the Belgian output gap. The usefulness of capacity utilization is also investigated but the variable is not given a prominent status. The number of independent...

Do other peoples' incomes reduce the happiness which people in advanced countries experience from any given income? And does this help to explain why in the U.S., Germany and some other advanced countries, happiness has been constant for many decades? The answer to both questions is "Yes". We...

This article proposes a new multivariate method to construct business cycle indicators. The method is based on a decomposition into trend-cycle and irregular. To derive the cycle, a multivariate band-pass filter is applied to the estimated trend-cycle. The whole procedure is fully model-based....

A rapidly growing literature has documented important improvements in volatility measurement and forecasting performance through the use of realized volatilities constructed from high-frequency returns coupled with relatively simple reduced-form time series modeling procedures. Building on...

We show that small trends do not influence log-periodogram based estimators for the memory parameter in a stationary invertible long-memory process. In the case of slowly decaying trends which are easily confused with long-range dependence we show by Monte Carlo methods that the tapered...
