Der moderne Wirtschaftswissenschaftler hat profunde Kenntnisse der Mathematik. Mit Hilfe mathematischer Methoden werden heute etwa Optionsscheine an der Borse bewertet oder Auktionen entworfen. Zudem bildet die Mathematik die Basis fur empirisches Arbeiten mit Hilfe statistischer Methoden. In allen Arbeitsfeldern des Okonomen ist somit eine gute okonomische Intuition gepaart mit mathematischem Sachverstand unerlasslich geworden. Im Unterschied zu vielen anderen Lehrbuchern beschrankt sich dieses Buch nicht auf die Besprechung der verschiedenen Methoden und auf ein reines Aufreihen der...

1. A self-contained introduction to probability, exchangeability and Bayes rule provides a theoretical understanding of the applied material.

2. Numerous examples with R-code that can be run "as-is" allow the reader to perform the data analyses themselves.

3. The development of Monte Carlo and Markov chain Monte Carlo methods in the context of data analysis examples provides motivation for these computational methods.

Education and training are key to explain the current competitive strengths of national economies. While in the past educational and training institutions were often seen as providers of necessary skills for national economies, this view has changed, with education and training now being seen as a key ingredient for international competitiveness. This collection of papers on various aspects of the economics of education and training reflects this new interest.

The application of auto-repeat facilities in telephone systems, as well as the use of random access protocols in computer networks, have led to growing interest in retrial queueing models. Since much of the theory of retrial queues is complex from an analytical viewpoint, with this book the authors give a comprehensive and updated text focusing on approximate techniques and algorithmic methods for solving the analytically intractable models.

This book covers recent advances in efficiency evaluations, most notably Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) methods. It introduces the underlying theories, shows how to make the relevant calculations and discusses applications. The aim is to make the reader aware of the pros and cons of the different methods and to show how to use these methods in both standard and non-standard cases.

Several software packages have been developed to solve some of the most common DEA and SFA models. This book relies on R, a free, open source software environment for...
