Evaluation von Hochschulleistungen: Fiktion oder notwendige Realität? Teil 1
Die Antrittsvorlesung von PD Dr. Andrea Schenker-Wicki an der Hochschule St. Gallen ist auch für die Studierenden von aktueller Brisanz. Werden sie doch laufend gemessen, während die Leistung des Bildungsinstituts als ganzes oder gar einzelner Professoren im Bereich oft haltloser Einschätzung verbleibt. Neben studentischen Anliegen gibt es aber natürlich vorallem eine Reihe von…

Pretiale Lenkung als Instrument der Wettbewerbsstrategie
One of the major functions of transfer pricing is the optimal coordination of internal trade between responsibility centers in decentralized firms. According to standard theory the efficient level of internal trade is achieved by marginal cost pricing. If one of the firm's profit centers faces duopolistic competition on the final product market, the firm's headquarters can…

Economic literature has proposed several incentive mechanisms in order to induce agents in divisionalized organizations to reveal their private information. Among these mechanisms the class of Groves mechanisms has the distinguishing property of implementing truthful reporting as an equilibrium in dominant strategies. However, critiques maintain that agents may collude and transmit…

Real option valuation with neural networks
We propose to use neural networks to value options when analytical solutions do not exist. The basic idea of this approach is to approximate the value function of a dynamic program by a neural net, where the selection of the network weights is done via simulated annealing. The main benefits of this method as compared to traditional approximation techniques are that there are no…

Evaluation of Aggressive Competitive Pricing Strategies
The main contribution of this paper is a method that allows one to study the effects of different degrees of competition. We find that optimal prices and profits are more sensitive to cooperative than to aggressive behavior on the part of competitors. With more aggressive policies, the average pricing level decreases and the average difference between high and low prices increases.…

Adaptive methods in macroeconomic forecasting
Adaptive methods are used to forecast three main Austrian economic indicators. We use a weighted recursive model as well as a neural network approach both with and without adaptive characteristics and compare our results to the forecasts of two Austrian research institutes. It appears that even models which use very limited information can outperform the two Institutes’ forcasts of…

Evaluation von Hochschulleistungen, Leistungsindikatoren und Performance Measurements
Aufgrund der zunehmenden Studentenzahlen und der hohen Investitionen in Forschungs- und Bildungseinrichtungen beanspruchte der Hochschulbereich in den letzten Jahren immer mehr öffentliche Mittel mit steigender Tendenz. Wurden die Hochschulbudgets bis anhin von den Parlamenten weitgehend stillschweigend genehmigt, wird dies - aufgrund der knappen Ressourcen - in Zukunft kaum mehr der…
