Growth of German dairy farms under the EU milk quota

We estimate determinants of growth among German dairy farms between 1997 und 2005 under the EU milk quota system. Higher milk yield per cow, more family labour, and higher milk prices increase the growth rate of growing farms, ceteris paribus.

Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract In many low‐ and middle‐income countries, social insurance provides basic pension benefits with limited cover for illness and care costs, while private insurance markets are underdeveloped.

A joint model of cost and churn for the insurance industry

Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract In insurance markets, claim costs are highly variable, heavy‐tailed, and difficult to predict. At the same time, policyholder retention and lapse behavior (customer churn) are critical determinants of long‐term profitability and solvency. Most existing models in the literature treat claim costs and lapses as independent, overlooking potential ...

Dynamic Probit Models With Network Interdependence and Unobserved Heterogeneity With an Application to Multinational‐Firm Participation in China

Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In many areas of regional/spatial economics, we are faced with analyzing discrete dynamic choice problems of economic agents interacting with some network structure through general equilibrium, input‐output links, or strategic interaction. Stochastic estimating equations for such problems can be difficult for many practitioners to estimate ...

Density‐Valued ARMA Models by Spline Mixtures

Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper proposes a novel framework for modeling time series of probability density functions by extending autoregressive moving average (ARMA) models to density‐valued data. The method is based on a transformation approach, wherein each density function on a compact domain [0,1]d$$ {\left[0,1\right]}^d $$ is approximated by a B‐spline ...

Behavioral Factors in Tax Preparer and Tax Compliance Choices

Kyklos, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT What tax preparer characteristics are most important to taxpayers in their decision to use a tax preparer, and how does this choice of a tax preparer affect subsequent taxpayer compliance? We use laboratory experiments to examine these questions. We find that individuals in this environment simultaneously choose a preparer and their compliance
