We analyze the role of different kinds of primary and secondary market interventions for the government's goal to maximize its revenues from public bond issuances. Some of these interventions can be thought of as characteristics of a "primary dealer system". After all, we see that a primary dealer system with a restricted number of participants may be useful in case of only restricted competition among sufficiently heterogeneous market makers. We further show that minimum secondary market turnover requirements for primary dealers with respect to bond sales seem to be in general more adequate than the definition of maximum bid-ask-spreads or minimum turnover requirements with respect to bond purchases. Moreover, official price management operations are not able to completely substitute for a system of primary dealers. Finally it should be noted that there is in general no reason for monetary compensations to primary dealers since they already possess some privileges with respect to public bond auction.
Volksaufklärung im 19. Jahrhundert? Der Autor dieser monumentalen vierbändigen Teilausgabe - die das betreffende "Biobibliographische Handbuch" nunmehr für das 19. Jahrhundert fortschreibt - stellt sich selbst programmatisch diese Frage und verweist auf die Widerstände, die sich ergaben, als an die bisher erbrachten Forschungsleistungen zur Volksaufklärung im 18. Jahrhundert für diesen Zeitraum angeknüpft werden sollte. Aber allen Vorbehalten zum Trotz erwies sich, dass die Volksaufklärung nach den zwei Jahrzehnten ihres Höhepunkts - und zwar 1780-1800 - keinesfalls abbrach. Die anfängliche Befürchtung, "Rückgang, Verfall", gar "ein Dahinsiechen der Aufklärung“ beobachten zu müssen, wich, so der Autor, einer "Riesenüberraschung" (Bd. 3.1, S. XLIII). Am Ende erscheint zumindest anhand der Literatur, die als "Volksaufklärung" klassifiziert werden kann (und in der Einleitung zu den Bänden findet sich nochmals ein präzisierender Eingrenzungs- und Definitionsversuch), die Epochenschwelle 1800 als hinfällig. Denn mit Blick auf diese Textgattung war "Aufklärung" keinesfalls an ein Ende gelangt. Es gab bemerkenswerte Kontinuitäten, aber auch Diskontinuitäten, und teilweise veränderten sich Inhalte und Themen.
Vor allem erfolgte Volksaufklärung nunmehr, so der Autor nicht ohne einen sichtlich kämpferischen Duktus, der angesichts der vorliegenden und eher in eine andere Richtung weisenden Resultate vielleicht als etwas ideologisch eingeübt erscheint, "meist ohne staatliche Unterstützung und oft gegen massive staatliche und ultramontane Repression" (Bd. 3.1, S. LXIX).
In the recent theoretical literature on lending risk, the coordination problem in multi-creditor relationships have been analyzed extensively. We address this topic empirically, relying on a unique panel data set that includes detailed credit-file information on distressed lending relationships in Germany. In particular, it includes information on creditor pools, a legal institution aiming at coordinating lender interests in borrower distress. We report three major findings. First, the existence of creditor pools increases the probability of workout success. Second, the results are consistent with coordination costs being positively related to pool size. Third, major determinants of pool formation are found to be the number of banks, the distribution of lending shares, and the severity of the distress shock.
This paper analyzes loan pricing when there is multiple banking and borrower distress. Using a unique data set on SME lending collected from major German banks, we can instrument for effective coordination between lenders, carrying out a panel estimation. The analysis allows to distinguish between rents that accrue due to single bank lending, rents that accrue due to relationship lending, and rents that accrue due to the elimination of competition among multiple lenders. We find the relationship lending to have no discernible impact on loan spreads, while both single lending and coordinated multiple lending significantly increase the spread. Thus, contrary to predictions in the literature, multiple lending does not insure the borrower against hold-up. JEL Classification: D74, G21, G33, G34
Multiple lenders and corporate distress: evidence on debt restructuring : [Version Juli 2002]
(2002)
In the recent theoretical literature on lending risk, the common pool problem in multi-bank relationships has been analyzed extensively. In this paper we address this topic empirically, relying on a unique panel data set that includes detailed credit-fie information on distressed lending relationships in Germany. In particular, it includes information on bank pools, a legal institution aimed at coordinating lender interests in borrower distress. We find that the existence of small bank pools increases the probability of workout success and that coordination costs are positively related to pool size. We identify major determinants of pool formation, in particular the distribution of lending shares among banks, the number of banks, and the severity of the distress shock to the borrower.

This paper discusses the role of internal corporate ratings as a means by which commercial banks condense their informational advantage and preserve it vis-à-vis a competitive lending market. In drawing on a unique data set collected from leading universal banks in Germany, we are able to evaluate the extent to which non-public information determines corporate ratings. As a point of departure, the paper describes a sample of rating systems currently in use, and points at methodological differences between them. Relying on a probit analysis, we are able to show that the set of qualitative, or soft, factors is not simply redundant with respect to publicly available accounting data. Rather, qualitative information tends to be decisive in at least one third of cases. It tends to improve the firms' overall corporate rating. In the case of conflicting rating changes, i.e. when qualitative and quantitative rating changes have opposing signs, quantitative criteria dominate the overall rating change. Furthermore, the more restrictive the weighting scheme as part of the rating methodology is, the stronger is the impact of qualitative information on the firms' overall rating. The implications of our results underline the need to define stringent rating standards, from both a risk management and a regulatory point of view.

Das "Carl- und Gerhart-Hauptmann-Haus" und das "Gerhart-Hauptmann-Haus / Haus Wiesenstein" sind zwei von vier Museen in Polen und Deutschland, die heute an Leben und Werk jenes Dichters erinnern, der als Enfant terrible des Kaiserreiches galt und laut einer Umfrage von 1906 der zweitbekannteste Deutsche nach dem Kaiser war. Auf der Ostsee-Insel Hiddensee entstand im "Haus Seedorn", dem ehemaligen Sommerhaus Hauptmanns und heutigen "Gerhart-Hauptmann-Haus", bereits 1956 eine Gedenkstätte, und in Erkner bei Berlin existierte 1957 im heutigen "Gerhart-Hauptmann-Museum Erkner", der so genannten "Villa Lassen", die Hauptmann von 1885 bis 1889 als junger Autor mit seiner Frau Marie bewohnte, ein erster bescheidener Gedenkraum. Jedes der vier – polnischen und deutschen – Museen repräsentiert eine je unterschiedliche Phase im Leben des Nobelpreisträgers, der bereits zu Lebzeiten in die Riege der Klassiker aufstieg und in der Weimarer Republik gar als Reichspräsidentschaftskandidat gehandelt wurde. 2003 vereinbarten die Museen eine verstärkte Zusammenarbeit und gründeten einen bislang einzigartigen grenzüberschreitenden Verbund, um mit vereinten Kräften für Gerhart Hauptmann und sein Werk werben zu können.
