Inference with the lognormal distribution [PDF]
Several estimators of the expectation, median and mode of the lognormal distribution are derived. They aim to be approximately unbiased, efficient, or have a minimax property in the class of estimators we introduce.

Abstract We develop new datasets of monthly grain prices in 14 urban markets and of the storage and marketing of grain by 5 rural estates located in western Germany between the late seventeenth century and c. 1860. We explore whether observed patterns of monthly prices, sales, and storage of grain are consistent with the rational competitive storage ...

ABSTRACT Rebuilding fish stocks to levels above which they produce Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) is a management aim for all European commercially exploited stocks. Progress is typically monitored against the fishing mortality that produces MSY in the long term (FMSY), however, the corresponding biomass target (BMSY) is rarely evaluated nor reported.

ABSTRACT Fisheries managers increasingly rely on stock assessment models to provide sustainable management advice, which must balance complex and competing objectives. Although assessment models necessitate simplifying assumptions, there is increasing recognition to improve the integration of realistic biological and fishery dynamics. While ongoing and

Life Cycle Consumption and Portfolio Choice Under Real Interest Rate Risk
ABSTRACT We set up a life cycle model with real interest rate risk to demonstrate that real interest rates have implications for optimal household consumption and investments. Lower interest rates lead to higher optimal stock investments and lower consumption.

Ambiguity Aversion, Portfolio Choice, and Life Expectancy
ABSTRACT This paper studies how wealth and aging affect portfolio choices in a life‐cycle model with ambiguity aversion. Ambiguity aversion implies wealthier and older agents are endogenously more optimistic about risky asset returns, relative to poorer/younger agents. As life expectancy grows, old agents become even more optimistic, while young agents

Dynamics of High‐Growth Young Firms and the Role of Venture Capitalists
ABSTRACT Motivated by the substantial growth and upfront investments of venture capital (VC)‐backed firms observed in administrative US Census data, this study develops a life‐cycle firm dynamics model. In the model, startups choose the source of financing from VC, angel investors, or banks, depending on their growth potential, and invest in innovation.

On Metric Choice in Dimension Reduction for Fréchet Regression
Summary Fréchet regression is becoming a mainstay in modern data analysis for analysing non‐traditional data types belonging to general metric spaces. This novel regression method is especially useful in the analysis of complex health data such as continuous monitoring and imaging data.

ABSTRACT In hit‐driven industries, product development is associated with a right‐skewed unconditional distribution of performance, and products in the right tail have outsized impacts. Understanding how exceptional performance is generated can improve resource allocation, but the literature advances two different narratives: one emphasizes postrelease
