However, it is lacking a systematic approach for developing this type of systems and it hinders the applicability of Event-B. Our contribution is such an approach and it is presented in this paper. Our proposed method focuses on a set of elements that should be captured by the formal model and ...Report -
The dynamics of labor productivity in Swiss universities
(2011)KOF Working PapersThis paper analyzes the labor productivity of Swiss university departments between 1995 and 2007. Using a parametric input distance function we estimate and decompose the Malmquist productivity indexes in line with Fuentes et al. (2001) and Atkinson et al. (2003). By contrast to those studies, this paper proposes a panel data specification to account for unobserved heterogeneity across production units. The adopted model is a mixed-effects ...Working Paper -

Assessing Predictive Content of the KOF Barometer in Real Time
(2010)KOF Working PapersWe investigate whether the KOF Barometer–a leading indicator regularly released by the KOF Swiss Economic Institute–can be useful for short-term out-of-sample prediction of year-on-year quarterly real GDP growth rates in Switzerland. We find that the KOF Barometer appears to be useful for prediction of GDP growth rates. Even the earliest forecasts, made seven months ahead of the first official GDP estimate, allow us to predict GDP growth ...Working Paper -
