Managing Procurement Auction Failure: Bid Requirements or Reserve Prices?
ABSTRACT This paper examines bid requirements, where the government may cancel a procurement contract unless two or more bids are received. Using a first‐price auction model with endogenous entry, we compare the bid requirement and reserve price mechanisms in terms of auction failure and procurement costs.

Learning gains from work placements: Innovative behavior and the role of emotional competencies
Abstract The importance of innovative behavior (IB) has been well documented, and the engagement of employees in IB has become a tacit norm in many organizations. It has also been understood that IB is emotionally charged. However, little research has concentrated on whether higher education (HE) providers can foster IB in university students, and ...

The Evolution of Interest‐Rate Models: From the Yield Curve to the Swaption Cube
ABSTRACT Interest‐rate modelling is often taught as a catalogue of competing stochastic equations, obscuring why models were created and why modern sell‐side desks use several simultaneously. This survey reorganises the field around five layers of a pricing architecture: curve construction; arbitrage‐free dynamics; volatility‐smile representation ...

Acquirer Strategic Orientations, Integration Decisions, and Performance
Abstract Integration decisions are not isolated, as they are embedded in an organizational context. Using a multi‐country sample (Nordics, German speaking Europe, and China) of small‐ and medium‐sized acquirers, we explore the influence of firm strategic orientations on how managers conceptualize acquisitions, make integration decisions, and impact ...

Robust CDF‐Filtering of a Location Parameter
ABSTRACT This paper introduces a novel framework for designing robust filters associated with signal plus noise models having symmetric observation density. The filters are obtained by a recursion where the innovation term is a transform of the cumulative distribution function of the residuals.

Models for Temporal Clustering of Extreme Events With Applications to Mid‐Latitude Winter Cyclones
ABSTRACT The occurrence of extreme events like heavy precipitation or storms at a certain location often shows a clustering behavior and is thus not described well by a Poisson process. We construct a general model for the inter‐exceedance times (IETs) in between extreme events which combines different candidate models for such behavior. One of them is

ABSTRACT In many fields of research, it is common to conduct experiments where several observations of the response variable are made on the same subject over non‐random conditions, generating longitudinal studies. A wide variety of techniques deal with this type of data when analysing population variations, many based on estimating functions.

A Limit Theorem for Copulas [PDF]
We characterize convergence of a sequence of d-dimensional random vectors by convergence of the one-dimensional margins and of the copula. The result is applied to the approximation of portfolios modelled by t-copulas with large degrees of freedom, and ...

Abstract Flood risk is correlated in space and time, challenging insurance systems that rely on diversification across assets. Financial instruments governing flood coverage are typically structured as 1–5‐year contracts, exposing portfolios to climate‐driven risk at interannual‐to‐decadal scales.
