Invited Talk: Jump Regressions Revisited

Prof. Mathias Vetter (Department of Mathematics, Kiel University) holds a talk on “Jump Regressions Revisited” on Thu. May 11, 2023 at 4:00pm in N.1.43. Guests welcome!

Abstract

A relevant question in the econometrics literature is whether a jump in one stochastic process Z triggers a jump in a related process Y. Starting with the work by Li, Todorov and Tauchen (2017), several papers have discussed this issue, typically in the situation where a jump in Z forces Y to have a jump as well, with the size of the jump in Y given as a function of the simultaneous jump in Z. Asymptotics are then derived in a high-frequency setting, often with the functional relation being linear and based on finite activity jumps in Y and Z. In this talk, we will discuss more realistic scenarios, including infinite activity jumps and a more classical regression assumption, namely that the jump sizes in Y are not given exactly by a function of the corresponding jump size in Z, but involving additional i.i.d. errors. We will sketch how asymptotical results can be obtained in two different situations.

Paul Schweinzer and Martin Wagner Awarded Title of Full Professor by University of Ljubljana

The School of Economics and Business (EF – Ekonomska Fakulteta) of the University of Ljubljana has awarded the two economics professors Paul Schweinzer and Martin Wagner the title of “full professor for economics” (redni profesor za področje ekonomija). This will contribute to establishing a firmer base for the existing cooperation, for instance with regard to teaching in the Doctoral Programme in Business and Economics of the EF. Martin Wagner has been teaching at the EF – with interruptions – for more than 20 years, mostly in the PhD programme. Paul Schweinzer has been holding the Microeconomics / Game Theory lecture in this programme since 2018. These courses are also open to PhD students at the AAU and many other partner universities via CESEENet. Intensifying the cooperation between EF and W&R is particularly relevant in view of the Double Degree Programme planned by the two faculties.

Vorstudie zur Bodenverdichtung und Sensibilisierung im Grünland in Kärnten (Südösterreich) von Glenda Garcia-Santos

In dieser Studie wurde der Einfluss unterschiedlicher Bewirtschaftungsstrategien in Bezug auf Vieh- und Maschineneinsatz auf die Lagerungsdichte und den Eindringwiderstand von Dauergrünland im Süden Österreichs (Kärnten) untersucht. Basis dafür waren die Nachweise von Bodenverdichtungen in zwei Grünlandflächen von Klinger et al. (2019).
