This paper is the first to conduct an incentive-compatible experiment using real monetary payoffs to test the hypothesis of probabilistic insurance which states that willingness to pay for insurance decreases sharply in the presence of even small default probabilities as compared to a risk-free insurance contract. In our experiment, 181 participants state their willingness to pay for insurance contracts with different levels of default risk. We find that the willingness to pay sharply decreases with increasing default risk. Our results hence strongly support the hypothesis of probabilistic insurance. Furthermore, we study the impact of customer reaction to default risk on an insurer’s optimal solvency level using our experimentally obtained data on insurance demand. We show that an insurer should choose to be default-free rather than having even a very small default probability. This risk strategy is also optimal when assuming substantial transaction costs for risk management activities undertaken to achieve the maximum solvency level.
We analyze the risk premium on bank bonds at origination with a special focus on the role of implicit and explicit public guarantees and the systemic relevance of the issuing institutions. By looking at the asset swap spread on 5,500 bonds, we find that explicit guarantees and sovereign creditworthiness have a substantial effect on the risk premium. In addition, while large institutions still enjoy lower issuance costs linked to the TBTF framework, we find evidence of enhanced market disciple for systemically important banks which face, since the onset of the financial crisis, an increased premium on bond placements.
Permanent conflict resolution at the high courts was one of the Holy Roman Empire’s main characteristics. This applies even to conflicts between rural communities and their lords, who could be dealt with, at least under certain circumstances, at the Imperial Chamber Court or the Aulic Council. These trials, however, were embedded in complicated processes of establishing and legitimizing claims on a local level as well as attempts to achieve a solution by violence or by arbitration. Researchers have stated that conflict resolution underwent, in the long run, a process of “juridification” (“Verrechtlichung”). This working paper proposes a method, based on Niklas Luhmann’s theory of procedural legitimation (“Legitimation durch Verfahren”), which possibly allows to detect elements of juridification and conflict resolution in the actions of parties and courts.
One of the motivations for establishing a European banking union was the desire to break the ties with between national regulators and domestic financial institutions in order to prevent regulatory capture. However, supervisory authority over the financial sector at the national level can also have valuable public benefits. The aim of this policy letter is to detail these public benefits in order to counter discussions that focus only on conflicts of interest. It is informed by an analysis of how financial institutions interacted with policy-makers in the design of national bank rescue schemes in response to the banking crisis of 2008. Using this information, it discusses the possible benefits of close cooperation between financial institutions and regulators and analyzes these in the wake of a European banking union.
Das Arbeitspapier zeigt Perspektiven eines Promotionsprojektes auf, das sich mit der Reform der englischen Common Law- und Equity-Gerichtsbarkeit im Viktorianischen Zeitalter befasst. Nach einem Einblick in relevante Quellen und Literatur wird inhaltlich auf Mitglieder und Aufgaben der im Jahr 1867 eingesetzten Judicature Commission eingegangen. Anschließend werden Neuerungen aufgezeigt, die für das englische Gerichtswesen aus den in den 1870er Jahren verabschiedeten Judicature Acts folgten.
The recent decline in euro area inflation has triggered new calls for additional monetary stimulus by the ECB in order to counter the threat of a self‐reinforcing deflation and recession spiral. This note reviews the available evidence on inflation expectations, output gaps and other factors driving current inflation through the lens of the Phillips curve. It also draws a comparison to the Japanese experience with deflation in the late 1990s and the evidence from Japan concerning the outputinflation nexus at low trend inflation. The note concludes from this evidence that the risk of a selfreinforcing deflation remains very small. Thus, the ECB best await the impact of the long‐term refinancing operations decided in June that have the potential to induce substantial monetary accommodation once implemented for the first time in September.
Im Schatten der Lowflation
(2014)
Im Jahr 2013 betrug der Anstieg des harmonisierten Konsumentenpreisindex im Euroraum 1,4 %. Vor dem Hintergrund der Niedrigzinspolitik der EZB überrascht diese Entwicklung. Alfons Weichenrieder erläutert wie der starke strukturelle Anpassungsbedarf in den meisten Euroländern von höheren Inflationsunterschieden profitieren könnte. Er weist auf die Gefahren einer längeren Niedrigzinsphase für Banken, Lebensversicherung und die Reduzierung der Staatsschulden hin. Da die traditionellen geldpolitischen Mittel weitgehend ausgereizt sind, wird die quantitative Lockerung als Instrument zur Bekämpfung einer Deflation nicht mehr ausgeschlossen. Im Falle eines Ankaufprogrammes wird es auf einen glaubwürdigem Regelrahmen ankommen.
Da Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) nicht den Beschränkungen der deutschen Schuldenbremse unterliegen, können diese der Politik als Mittel dienen, Lasten in die Zukunft zu verschieben, ohne dabei den Verschuldungsgrad zu erhöhen. Der vorliegende Beitrag beschreibt Vor- und Nachteile von PPP-Konstrukten im Rahmen der öffentlichen Auftragsvergabe. Alfons Weichenrieder argumentiert, dass bei der Wahl von PPP-Instrumenten die Effizienz der Bereitstellung von öffentlicher Infrastruktur und Dienstleistungen im Vordergrund stehen sollte. Die Budgetregeln könnten so angepasst werden, dass das Motiv der Schuldenverschleierung nicht vordergründig die Wahl von PPP-Konstrukten bestimmt.
Das ursprüngliche Ziel des Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz war die Verringerung der Emissionen. Eigentlich hat die Politik bereits ein Instrument an der Hand, das dieses Ziel fokussiert und kostensparend erreichen kann: den Handel mit CO2-Zertifikaten. Der Autor argumentiert, dass das Nebeneinander von CO2-Handel und EEG höchst unproduktiv ist und schleunigst beendet werden sollte. Ein plausibleres Argument für den politischen Erfolg des EEG und das derzeitige Herumdoktern im Detail ist, dass die Politik mit dem EEG Industriepolitik betreiben und die Kosten auf zukünftige Parlamente und Generationen überwälzen kann.
