In this paper, we estimate a logit mixture vector autoregressive (Logit-MVAR) model describing monetary policy transmission in the euro area over the period 1999-2015. MVARs allow us to differentiate between different states of the economy. In our model, the time-varying state weights are...

Innovations in statistical methodology is often accompanied by Monte-Carlo studies. In the context of survey statistics two types of inferences have to be considered. First, the classical randomization methods used for developments in statistical modelling. Second, survey data is typically...

Microsimulations make use of quantitative methods to analyze complex phenomena in populations. They allow modeling socioeconomic systems based on micro-level units such as individuals, households, or institutional entities. However, conducting a microsimulation study can be challenging. It often...

We estimate a logit mixture vector autoregressive model describing monetary policy transmission in the euro area over the period 2003Q1-2019Q4 with a special emphasis on credit conditions. With the help of this model, monetary policy transmission can be described as mixture of two states (e.g.,...

Multi-stage cluster sampling is a common sampling design of social surveys because populations of interest are often structured by, or partitioned into, disjoint organizational and administrative units. The need to use cluster sampling can conflict with survey planners' goal to select a sample...

Infolge des Urteils des Bundesverfassungsgerichts vom 19. September 2018 wird für den Zensus 2021 eine für alle Gemeinden einheitliche Erhebungs- und Schätzmethodik angestrebt. Dabei soll auf Vollerhebungsschichten möglichst verzichtet werden. Eine direkte Übertragung des bereits für den...

In this paper, we estimate a logit mixture vector autoregressive (Logit-MVAR) model describing monetary policy transmission in the euro area over the period 1999–2015. MVARs allow us to differentiate between different states of the economy. In our model, the state weights are determined by an...
