A CUSUM PROCEDURE FOR DETECTION OF OUTBREAKS IN POISSON DISTRIBUTED MEDICAL HEALTH EVENTS
(University of Gothenburg, 2010-11-02)CUSUM procedures which are based on standardized statistics are often supposed to have expectation zero and being normally distributed. If these conditions are not satisfied it can have serious consequences on the determination ... -
A comparison of conditioned versus unconditioned forecasts of the V AR(l) process
(University of Gothenburg, 2003-05-01)The properties of a forecast usually depend upon whether the forecast is conditioned on the final period observation or not. In the case of unconditioned forecasts it is well known that the point predictions are unbiased. ... -
A COMPARISON OF TWO DESIGNS FOR ESTIMATING A SECOND ORDER SURFACE WITH A KNOWN MAXIMUM
(University of Gothenburg, 1994-04-01)Two level fractional factorial designs with a star are often used when working with lower polynomial models. In this paper an alternative design is discussed and compared with the fractional factorial design. We are working ... -
A Dynamic Model of Inflation for Kenya 1974 - 1996
(1998)This paper develops an error correction model with the aim of analysing the behaviour of prices in Kenya during 1974 -1996. In estimating the model, we first test for cointegration in the money and foreign exchange markets, ... -
A Fair Share : Burden-Sharing Preferences in the United States and China
(2010-10)Using a choice experiment, we investigated preferences for distributing the economic burden of decreasing CO2 emissions in the two largest CO2-emitting countries: the United States and China. We asked respondents about ... -
A Jury of Her Peers: The Impact of the First Female Jurors on Criminal Convictions
(2016-02)This paper uses an original data set of more than 3000 cases from 1918 to 1926 in the Central Criminal Courts of London to study the effect of the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act of 1919. Implemented in 1921, this Act ... -
A man´s world? – The impact of a male dominated environment on female leadership
(University of Gothenburg, 2018-11)Despite the significant growth in female labor force participation and educational attainment over the past decades, few women reach leadership positions. In this study, we explore whether male dominated environments, in ... -
A Markov Chain Model for Analysing theProgression of Patient´sHealth States
(2011)Markov chains (MCs) have been used to study how the health states of patients are progressing in time. With few exceptions the studies have been based on the questionable assumptions that the MC has order m=1 and is ... -
A Markov Copula Model of Portfolio Credit Risk with Stochastic Intensities and Random Recoveries
(2012-10)In [4], the authors introduced a Markov copula model of portfolio credit risk. This model solves the top-down versus bottom-up puzzle in achieving efficient joint calibration to single-name CDS and to multi-name CDO ... -
A Microeconomic Analysis of Institutions
(2000)This survey paper has three themes; a microeconomic analysis of institutions, an institutional analysis of microeconomics, and a discussion on the scope for an "institutional microeconomics" that takes insights ... -
A monitoring system for detecting starts and declines of influenza epidemics
(2003-12-01)The aim is to detect an influenza outbreak as soon as possible. Data are weekly reports of number of patients showing influenza-like symptoms. At each additional observation we decide whether a change has occurred or ... -
A NOTE ON ROTATABILITY
(University of Gothenburg, 1994-10-01)The need of a measure of rotatability is discussed and exemplified through some examples. The examples also shows the difficulties with measuring rotatability. A graphical technique for exploring the variance function is ... -
A Note on the Risk Behavior and Death of Homo Economicus
(2006)Recent papers by Cox and Sadiraj (2006) and Rubinstein (2006) have pointed out that expected utility theory is more general than has sometimes been acknowledged, and can hence not be refuted as easily by means of experiments. ... -
A Spatial Analysis of Foreign Aid and Civil Society
(2017-01)We use a Spatial Durbin Model to examine the relationship between civil society aid projects and measures of civil society including membership and participation in community groups and satisfaction with democracy in Nigeria ... -
A stepwise regression procedure applied to an international production study - a multiple inference solution
(University of Gothenburg, 1997-04-01)The aim of this paper is to apply a certain procedure for stepwise regression analysis to a problem included in a study of integrated international production. The question, which factors are important for the transnational ... -
A Structural Model of Childcare, Welfare, and the Labor Supply of Single Mothers
(2002)This paper considers the simultaneous relationship of the single mother's decision to choose paid childcare, welfare participation and labor supply, and estimates a structural model that allows for a free error covariance. ... -
A theoretical framework explaining the mechanisms of nudging
(2019-03)In this paper we develop a theoretical model to clarify the underlying mechanisms that drive individual decision making and responses to behavioral interventions, such as nudges. The contribution of the paper is three-fold: ... -
A TIPPETT-ADAPTIVE METHOD OF COMBINING INDEPENDENT STATISTICAL TESTS.
(University of Gothenburg, 1986-03-01)A new procedure is proposed in order to combine the information of P-values obtained from several independent tests in order to test an overall hypothesis. The test statistic of this new procedure is of the same type as ... -
A Western Reversal since the Neolithic? The long-run impact of early agriculture
(2013-01)While it is widely believed that regions which experienced a transition to Neolithic agriculture early also become institutionally and economically more advanced, many indicators suggest that within the Western agricultural ... -
ABSTRACT BOOTSTRAP CONFIDENCE INTERVALS IN LINEAR MODELS
(University of Gothenburg, 1990-01-01)A bootstrap method for generating confidence intervals in linear models is suggested. The method is motivated by an abstract nonobservable bootstrap sample of true residuals leading to an observable final result. This means ...
