This book presents a novel approach to time series econometrics, which studies the behavior of nonlinear stochastic processes. This approach allows for an arbitrary dependence structure in the increments and provides a generalization with respect to the standard linear independent increments assumption of classical time series models. The book offers a solution to the problem of a general semip…
These Proceedings offer a selection of peer-reviewed research and survey papers by some of the foremost international researchers in the fields of finance, energy, stochastics and risk, who present their latest findings on topical problems. The papers cover the areas of stochastic modeling in energy and financial markets; risk management with environmental factors from a stochastic control pers…
The present book is the result of the master thesis written in the summer of 2015 for the Munich Intellectual Property Law Center (MIPLC) LLM in IP and Competition. The subject of the thesis is the much debated issue of standard-essential patents, their enforcement and the implications for EU competition law. It is an attempt to deal with a problem not much discussed in the literature, namely t…
n the modern marketplace characterised by a profusion of signs and labels, Community collective marks seem rather absent. Although provided for in the European trade mark legislation, they are underutilised in practice and quite neglected in legal theory, which, in its vast majority, is restricted in mere repetitions and reformulations of the legislative text. In those cases of commentaries whe…

In the…
This book addresses an important problem in ecology: how are communities assembled from species pools? This pressing question underlies a broad array of practical problems in ecology and environmental science, including restoration of damaged landscapes, management of protected areas, and protection of threatened species. This book presents a simple logical structure for ecological assembly and…
Areas of limited statehood, in which the territorial State lacks effective control, either completely or in part, challenge International Humanitarian Law in various ways. This volume explores if and how the law adapts to these challenges on the basis of mainly two legal issues: detention and investment protection in (non-)international armed conflict. Does a sufficient legal basis exist for th…
