Das Bundesverfassungsgericht ist für seine Entscheidungen, die sich in besonderer Weise auf das Demokratieprinzip des Grundgesetzes (Art. 20 Abs. 2 GG) stützen, viel kritisiert worden. Der Beitrag analysiert insbesondere die Entscheidungen zum Ausländerwahlrecht und zur Europäischen Integration im Hinblick darauf, ob sich neben dem vielfach kritisierten Demokratieverständnis, das ein monistisch verstandenes (deutsches) Volk zum Ausgangspunkt nimmt, auch offenere Demokratiemodelle zumindest zwischen den Zeilen dieser Entscheidungen entdeckt werden können. Das Ergebnis fällt allerdings ernüchternd aus. Jede Öffnung, die Alternativen neben dem monistischen Modell der Volkssouveränität andeutet, wird in den folgenden Sätzen dieser Entscheidungen sogleich wieder zurückgenommen.

Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Helmut Siekmann: Stellungnahme für den Haushalts- und Finanzausschuss des Landtags Nordrhein-Westfalen zum Entwurf eines Gesetzes zur Offenlegung der Bezüge von Sparkassenführungskräften im Internet (Drucksache 16/4165) vom 10.02.2014
Gesetzentwurf der Fraktion der Piraten Gesetz zur Offenlegung der Bezüge von Sparkassenführungskräften im Internet vom 08.10.2013
Die Stellungnahme befasst sich mit einem wichtigen Aspekt der Offenlegung der Bezüge von Entscheidungsträgern im Bankensektor. Komplementär zu der Diskussion um die Veröffentlichung der Vergütung von Vorstandsmitgliedern börsennotierter Unternehmen ist auch auf Landeseben versucht worden, die Transparenz der Vergütung von Führungskräften kommunaler oder landeseigener Unternehmen zu erhöhen. Namentlich sind die Träger der Sparkassen durch den neuen § 19 Abs. 6 des Sparkassengesetzes von Nordrhein-Westfalen verpflichtet worden, darauf „hinzuwirken“, dass die „gewährten Bezüge jedes einzelnen Mitglieds des Vorstands, des Verwaltungsrates und ähnlicher Gremien unter Namensnennung“ veröffentlich werden. Diese Vorschrift ist jedoch weitgehend wirkungslos geblieben; nicht zuletzt weil das OLG Köln in einer einstweiligen Verfügung die Vorschrift mangels Gesetzgebungskompetenz des Landes als nichtig behandelt hat. In dieser Situation ist am 8. August 2013 der Vorschlag eines Gesetzes „zur Offenlegung der Bezüge von Sparkassenführungskräften im Internet“ durch die Fraktion der Piraten im Landtag Nordrhein-Westfalen eingebracht worden. Der Entwurf ist Gegenstand der Stellungnahme, die Helmut Siekmann für den Haushalts- und Finanzausschuss des Landtags Nordrhein-Westfalen erstellt hat. Sie stellt maßgebend darauf ab, dass die Sparkassen als Anstalten des öffentlichen Rechts einen öffentlichen Auftrag zu erfüllen haben und den Grundsätzen des Verwaltungsorganisationsrechts unterliegen. Als Teil der (leistenden) Verwaltung müssen sie Transparenz- und Kontrollansprüchen der Bürger und ihren Repräsentanten in den Parlamenten genügen.
This paper investigates the determinants of value and growth investing in a large administrative panel of Swedish residents over the 1999-2007 period. We document strong relationships between a household’s portfolio tilt and the household’s financial and demographic characteristics. Value investors have higher financial and real estate wealth, lower leverage, lower income risk, lower human capital, and are more likely to be female than the average growth investor. Households actively migrate to value stocks over the life-cycle and, at higher frequencies, dynamically offset the passive variations in the value tilt induced by market movements. We verify that these results are not driven by cohort effects, financial sophistication, biases toward popular or professionally close stocks, or unobserved heterogeneity in preferences. We relate these household-level results to some of the leading explanations of the value premium.
What happened in Cyprus? The economic consequences of the last communist government in Europe
(2014)
This paper reviews developments in the Cypriot economy following the introduction of the euro on 1 January 2008 and leading to the economic collapse of the island five years later. The main cause of the collapse is identified with the election of a communist government in February 2008, within two months of the introduction of the euro, and its subsequent choices for action and inaction on economic policy matters. The government allowed a rapid deterioration of public finances, and despite repeated warnings, damaged the country's creditworthiness and lost market access in May 2011. The destruction of the island's largest power station in July 2011 subsequently threw the economy into recession. Together with the intensification of the euro area crisis in the summer and fall of 2011, these events weakened the banking system which was vulnerable due to its exposure in Greece. Rather than deal with its fiscal crisis, the government secured a loan from the Russian government that allowed it to postpone action until after the February 2013 election. Rather than protect the banking system, losses were imposed on banks and a campaign against them was coordinated and used as a platform by the communist party for the February 2013 election. The strategy succeeded in delaying resolution of the crisis and avoiding short-term political cost for the communist party before the election, but also in precipitating a catastrophe right after the election.
On 23 July 2014, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) passed the “Money Market Reform: Amendments to Form PF ,” designed to prevent investor runs on money market mutual funds such as those experienced in institutional prime funds following the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. The present article evaluates the reform choices in the U.S. and draws conclusions for the proposed EU regulation of money market funds.
Research results confirm the existence of various forms of international tax planning by multinational firms. Prominent examples for firms employing tax avoidance strategies are Amazon, Google and Starbucks. Increasing availability of administrative data for Europe has enabled researchers to study behavioural responses of European multinationals to taxation. The present paper summarizes what we can learn from these recent studies in general and about German multinationals in particular.
Wettbewerbsrecht der GKV
(2014)
Seit inzwischen 20 Jahren führt der Gesetzgeber in die Binnenordnung der Gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung Wettbewerbselemente ein. Ausgangspunkt ist die Kassenwahlfreiheit der Versicherten. Die Krankenkassen agieren dadurch immer stärker als Wettbewerber um Versicherte. Seit einigen Jahren ist der Rechtsrahmen dieses Wettbewerbs in der Diskussion und auch prozessual und politisch umstritten. Inwieweit das allgemeine Kartellrecht, konkret die Fusionskontrolle, oder das allgemeine Lauterkeitsrecht Anwendung finden soll, ist noch nicht abschließend geklärt. Weniger grundsätzliche Probleme bereitet hingegen das Vergaberecht. Der Beitrag beschreibt die sich im Fluss befindliche Rechtsgrundlage des GKV-Wettbewerbsrechts in ihrer bisherigen Entwicklung und auf dem Stand von 2013.
Der Deutsche Juristentag 2012 ließ begutachten, wie der Wettbewerb in der Gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung zu regeln sei. Der vorliegende Beitrag ist als Begleitaufsatz hierzu erschienen. Er spürt den Motiven des Gesetzgebers und den theoretischen und konzeptionellen Gründen für Wettbewerb nach, um daraus Antworten auf die Frage nach der Wettbewerbsregulierung im Gesundheitswesen zu entwickeln. Sein Ergebnis ist, dass die spezifische Funktion von Wettbewerb innerhalb des sozialrechtlichen Krankenversicherungssystems ein spezifisches Regulierungsrecht erfordert. Dies ist gegenüber einer generellen Zuordnung dieses Sozialsystems zum allgemeinen Wettbewerbs- und Kartellrecht vorzugswürdig. Außerdem wird die Zuordnung zu den Sozialgerichten befürwortet.
We use data from the 2009 Internet Survey of the Health and Retirement Study to examine the consumption impact of wealth shocks and unemployment during the Great Recession in the US. We find that many households experienced large capital losses in housing and in their financial portfolios, and that a non-trivial fraction of respondents have lost their job. As a consequence of these shocks, many households reduced substantially their expenditures. We estimate that the marginal propensities to consume with respect to housing and financial wealth are 1 and 3.3 percentage points, respectively. In addition, those who became unemployed reduced spending by 10 percent. We also distinguish the effect of perceived transitory and permanent wealth shocks, splitting the sample between households who think that the stock market is likely to recover in a year’s time, and those who do not. In line with the predictions of standard models of intertemporal choice, we find that the latter group adjusted much more than the former its spending in response to financial wealth shocks.
