Marc Chesney, Bharat Hazari, Irrational entry, rational exit, Journal of Mathematical Economics, Vol. 29 (1), 1998. (Journal Article) This paper sets up a model for analysing the problem of rational exit where the stopping time itself is part of the integration problem. The model development is for the case of smoking. Smoking produces pleasure, pain and addiction. Our model captures all these elements and using Brownian notion and continuous martingales establishes that “quit smoking” campaigns require a two pronged attack: educational and medical. It develops a new technique which can be applied to other stopping problems where stopping time itself is part of the integration problem.

Egon Franck, T Bagschik, C Opitz, Aus alt mach neu: Remanufacturing gebrauchter Maschinen als Unternehmensstrategie, Maschinenmarkt (MM), Vol. 104 (12), 1998. (Journal Article) Das Kreislaufwirtschaftsgesetz wird die Aufarbeitung, Reparatur, Instandsetzung und Modernisierung von Investitionsgütern (Remanufacturing) vorantreiben und die Strukturen des Gebrauchtmaschinenmarktes verändern. Unternehmen können auf diesem Markt nur dann erfolgreich sein, wenn sie ihre Strategie an diesen Veränderungen ausrichten.

The microeconomics of transformation and growth, Edited by: H Brezinski, Egon Franck, M Fritsch, Edward Elgar, Cheltenham, UK, 1998. (Edited Scientific Work) This groundbreaking book discusses the significance of a microeconomic approach to the transformation process in Eastern Europe from a theoretical and empirical perspective. It reveals that microeconomic conditions constitute the framework for the successful restructuring and recovery of the post-socialist countries in Europe.

Peter Zweifel, Wolfram Strüwe, Long-term care insurance in a two-generation model, Journal of Risk and Insurance, Vol. 65 (1), 1998. (Journal Article) The purpose of this contribution is to investigate why private insurance of the risk of long-term care (LTC) has known little market success in major industrialized countries, even among the relatively well-to-do. Using a principal-agent framework, it shows that the purchase of LTC insurance by the parent (the principal) is likely to diminish the amount of LTC provided by the major caregivers; namely children earning a comparatively low wage in the labor market. Anticipating this moral hazard effect, the parent is predicted to renounce the purchase of LTC coverage in many cases. This finding throws serious doubts on the welfare effects of recent moves to introduce compulsory social LTC insurance, as, for example, in Germany.
Peter Zweifel, Managed care in Germany and Switzerland, PharmacoEconomics, Vol. 14 (S1), 1998. (Journal Article) The point of departure for this contribution is a problem common to all Western healthcare systems, namely the deficiency of their basic building block, the physician-patient relationship. This deficiency opens up a market for complementary agents in healthcare, ranging from medical associations to the central government. While Germany has traditionally put the emphasis on medical associations as the dominant complementary agent (DCA), it is shifting towards the central government. Switzerland, on the other hand, traditionally has relied on the cantonal governments and is now moving towards competing (quasi-) private health insurers that would function as DCAs. Thus, managed care, which is a means through which to reshape the physician-patient relationship, is used quite differently in the 2 countries, with differing expected outcomes and different consequences for the pharmaceutical industry.
Siddhartha Chib, Edward Greenberg, Rainer Winkelmann, Posterior simulation and Bayes factors in panel count data models, Journal of Econometrics, Vol. 86 (1), 1998. (Journal Article) This paper is concerned with the problems of posterior simulation and model choice for Poisson panel data models with multiple random effects. Efficient algorithms based on Markov chain Monte Carlo methods for sampling the posterior distribution are developed. A new parameterization of the random effects and fixed effects is proposed and compared with a parameterization in common use, and computation of marginal likelihoods and Bayes factors via Chib’s (1995) method is also considered. The methods are illustrated with two real data applications involving large samples and multiple random effects.
Rainer Winkelmann, The economic benefits of schooling in New Zealand: comment and update, New Zealand Economic Papers, Vol. 3 (2), 1998. (Journal Article) In this paper, I discuss the interpretation of qualification related income differentials from income functions that control for age rather than the theoretically more appropriate variable years of labour market experience. I reestimate income functions for New Zealand that were originally reported by Maani (1997) with changed specification, and I update her results by also estimating an income function with data from the 1996 census.
