Relying on insights from catering theory, we investigate how intra-family ownership succession funding (gift/inheritance versus purchase) shapes post-succession dividend streams – an important type of business-to-family financial intermingling - in privately-held family businesses. Using a...

We consider a binary multivariate regression model where the conditional expectation of a binary variable given a higher-dimensional input variable belongs to a parametric family. Based on this, we introduce a model-based bootstrap (MBB) for higher-dimensional input variables. This test can be...

Consider the model Y=m(X)+[epsilon], where m([dot operator])=med(Y[dot operator]) is unknown but smooth. It is often assumed that [epsilon] and X are independent. However, in practice this assumption is violated in many cases. In this paper we propose modeling the dependence between [epsilon]...

In this paper we extend the conditional Koziol-Green model of Veraverbeke, N. and Cadarso Suárez, C. [2000. Estimation of the conditional distribution in a conditional Koziol-Green model. Test 9, 97-122] to also accommodate dependent censoring and in this way introduce a model with two...
