The Effect of Auditor Style on Reporting Quality: Evidence from Germany

Vlad‐Andrei Porumb, Abe De Jong, Carel Huijgen, Teye Marra, more

Abacus > 57 > 1 > 1 - 26

This paper examines whether the ‘style’ of individual auditors influences financial reporting quality in Germany. Audit quality in Germany should be uniformly high, because of strong reputational needs, strict controls on operating procedures, and quality enforcement mechanisms. An audit partner's style should not affect this quality level. However, our results do not support this expectation. Exploiting...

Electric Vehicle Virtual Power Plant Dilemma: Grid Balancing Versus Customer Mobility

Micha T. Kahlen, Wolfgang Ketter, Jan van Dalen

Production and Operations Management > 27 > 11 > 2054 - 2070

Virtual power plants (VPP) play a crucial role in balancing the electricity smart grid. VPPs aggregate energy from decentralized sources, for example, biogas, solar panels, or hydropower, to generate and consume electricity on demand. We study the management of electric vehicle (EV) fleets organized in VPPs as a way to address the challenges posed by the inflexible energy supply of renewable sources...

Integrated hierarchical forecasting

Clint L.P. Pennings, Jan van Dalen

European Journal of Operational Research > 2017 > 263 > 2 > 412-418

Forecasts are often made at various levels of aggregation of individual products, which combine into groups at higher hierarchical levels. We provide an alternative to the traditional discussion of bottom-up versus top-down forecasting by examining how the hierarchy of products can be exploited when forecasts are generated. Instead of selecting series from parts of the hierarchy for forecasting, we...

Clint L.P. Pennings, Jan van Dalen, Erwin A. van der Laan

European Journal of Operational Research > 2017 > 258 > 3 > 958-969

We present an intermittent demand forecasting method that conditions on the elapsed time since the last demand occurrence to anticipate incoming demand and show, using empirical data, that this can substantially reduce both stock investment and lost revenue for spare parts management. We extensively benchmark our method against existing forecasting and bootstrapping methods on forecast accuracy and...
