Reforms or bankruptcy?
(2011)
Almost 20 Greek academic economists from renowned universities in Europe and the US have prepared a one-page statement regarding the Greek crisis. In their statement the economic experts call upon the Greek public to accept the economic program of structural reforms, privatization, efficient tax collection, and shrinking of the public sector proposed and financed by the EU partners and the IMF. Among the signatories are this year's Nobel Prize winner Christopher Pissarides and Michalis Haliassos, Director of the Center for Financial Studies and Professor for Macroeconomics and Finance at the House of Finance.
Unternehmen und Ethik
(2010)
Die noch nicht völlig überwundene Finanzmarktkrise hat nicht nur den Gesetzgeber auf den Plan gerufen. Auch die Frage nach der Ethik der Akteure wird vielfach erörtert. Haben von Gier getriebene Finanzmarktakteure nicht nur Rechtsregeln, sondern auch ethische Normen, die Grundsätze des Wirtschaftens ehrbarer Kaufleute, gewissenlos beiseite geschoben, um sich zu bereichern? Wie läßt sich die Beachtung dieser Normen künftig sichern? Diese aktuelle Debatte soll Anlaß zu einigen allgemeineren Betrachtungen zum Thema „Unternehmen und Ethik“ sein.
Die Studie untersucht die Frage, ob der Gesetzgeber des ARUG die Ziele erreicht hat, die mit der Reform des Rechts der Anfechtung von HVBeschlüssen verfolgt wurden. Darüber hinaus gehend soll die Entwicklung der Beschlußmängelklagen seit der letzten Studie der Verfasser hierzu nachgezeichnet werden. Unsere Studie zeigt, daß seit Inkrafttreten des ARUG ein deutlicher Rückgang der Beschlußmängelklagen und Freigabeverfahren zu verzeichnen ist. Dagegen ist der Anteil der von „Berufsklägern“ erhobenen Klagen und Nebeninterventionen gleich geblieben, wobei sich die Anzahl der Personen in der Gruppe der „Berufskläger“ nochmals vergrößert hat. Das ARUG hat insoweit keine erkennbare Wirkung gehabt...
Trust in policy makers fluctuates signi
cantly over the cycle and affects the transmission mechanism. Despite this it is absent from the literature. We build a monetary model embedding trust cycles; the latter emerge as an equilibrium phenomenon of a game-theoretic interaction between atomistic agents and the monetary authority. Trust affects agents' stochastic discount factors, namely the price of future risk, and through this it interacts with the monetary transmission mechanism. Using data from the Eurobarometer surveys, we analyze the link between trust and the transmission mechanism of macro and monetary shocks: Empirical results are in line with theoretical ones.
The European Commission's Green Paper "Audit Policy: Lessons from the Crisis" raises 38 questions regarding how the audit function could be enhanced in order to contribute to increased financial stability. The authors comment on these 38 questions, arguing that the general level of audit quality can be enhanced by extending the duties of care and by tightening the regulations on liability.
Der Deutsche Coprporate Governance Kodex soll das deutsche Corporate Governance System transparent und nachvollziehbar machen. Der Kodex stellt gesetzliche Vorschriften zur Leitung und Überwachung deutscher börsennotierter Gesellschaften dar und enthält international anerkannte Standards guter und verantwortungsvoller Unternehmensführung. Die Stellungnahme befasst sich mit von der Regierungskommission Deutscher Corporate Governance Kodex vorgebrachten Änderungsvorschlägen.
The European Commission's Green Paper "The EU corporate governance framework" raises 25 questions in order to assess the effectiveness of the current corporate governance framework for European companies. The authors contribute to the EU's consultation, respond to the 25 questions and comment on the suggestions set out in the Green Paper.
Homestead exemptions to personal bankruptcy allow households to retain their home equity up to a limit determined at the state level. Households that may experience bankruptcy thus have an incentive to bias their portfolios towards home equity. Using US household data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation for the period 1996-2006, we find that especially households with low net worth maintain a larger share of their wealth as home equity if a larger homestead exemption applies. This home equity bias is also more pronounced if the household head is in poor health, increasing the chance of bankruptcy on account of unpaid medical bills. The bias is further stronger for households with mortgage finance, shorter house tenures, and younger household heads, which taken together reflect households that face more financial uncertainty.
This paper presents a theory that explains why it is beneficial for banks to engage in circular lending activities on the interbank market. Using a simple network structure, it shows that if there is a non-zero bailout probability, banks can significantly increase the expected repayment of uninsured creditors by entering into cyclical liabilities on the interbank market before investing in loan portfolios. Therefore, banks are better able to attract funds from uninsured creditors. Our results show that implicit government guarantees incentivize banks to have large interbank exposures, to be highly interconnected, and to invest in highly correlated, risky portfolios. This can serve as an explanation for the observed high interconnectedness between banks and their investment behavior in the run-up to the subprime mortgage crisis.
