Dynamic modelling of extreme daily precipitation in Germany from 1951 to 2020
Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2022 It is important to analyse long-term changes in heavy precipitation but current risk management requires more dynamic and reliable forecasting of changes in the right tail of precipitation distributions in shorter periods of time.

Firm-Level Social Returns to Education [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2004 Do workers benefit from the education of their co-workers? This question is examined first by introducing a model of on-the-job schooling, which argues that educated workers may transfer part of their general skills to uneducated workers and that this spillover is affected by the degrees of non-excludability, irreversibility and generality of those ...

Technical note: Tail behaviour of the statistical distribution of extreme storm surges [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2022 The tail behaviour of the statistical distribution of extreme storm surges is conveniently described by a return level plot, consisting of water level (y axis) against average recurrence interval on a logarithmic scale (x axis).

Clustering mutual funds by return and risk levels [PDF]
, 2010 Mutual funds classifications, often made by rating agencies, are very common and sometimes criticised. In this work, a three-step statistical procedure for mutual funds classification is proposed. In the first step fund time series are characterised in terms of returns.

Peacebuilding at the local level: Refugee return to Prijedor [PDF]
International Peacekeeping, 2005 During the 1992–95 war, Prijedor was synonymous with mass killing, ethnic cleansing and detention camps.

Estimation of return levels with long return periods for extreme sea levels in a time-varying framework [PDF]
Environment Systems and DecisionsAbstractAt nuclear power plants, risk analysis concerning environmental extremes is crucial. Based on historical data, estimation of return levels is usually performed. For long return periods, a problem is that the related uncertainties of the return levels often get large. Moreover, models need to take into account possible effects of climate change.
