The main purpose of Points is to give an insight into SAFE's two principal fields of activity – conducting research in finance and providing policy advice – and to introduce you to the people behind these two pillars of the institute. For both pillars, it is essential to point out the problems and phenomena the researchers at SAFE deal with and to have a point and state it clearly.
As such, Points also serves to keep readers informed about new perspectives as they open up in the development of SAFE. Initially, the magazine will be published once a year free of charge and advertising and is intended as a complementary product to SAFE's digital newsletter, which is currently published six times a year.
SAFE Update
(2021)
The digital newsletter format SAFE Update started in June 2021, is published six times a year, and offers selected news from SAFE along four recurrent sections:
* Focus on a specific topic
* Research Highlight
* #SAFEtheDATE, a combined outlook and review of events, and
* Handpicked, a recommendation worth reading, listening or watching from one of SAFE's Department Directors.
SAFE Update is free of charge and advertising and is designed for researchers in economics, law, and political science, as well as for readers who are interested in the areas in which financial research is applied.
The efl publishes the insights in the form of a periodic newsletter which appears two times a year. Besides a number of printed copies, the efl insights is distributed digitally via E-mail for reasons of saving natural resources. The main purpose of the newsletter is to provide latest efl research results to our audience. Therefore, the main part is the description of two research results on a managerial level – complemented by an editorial, an interview, and some short news.
SAFE Newsletter
(2013)
The Center of Excellence SAFE – “Sustainable Architecture for Finance in Europe” – is a cooperation of the Center for Financial Studies and Goethe University Frankfurt. It is funded by the LOEWE initiative of the State of Hessen (Landes-Offensive zur Entwicklung wissenschaftlich-ökonomischer Exzellenz). SAFE brings together more than 40 professors and just as many junior researchers who are all dedicated to conducting research in support of a sustainable financial architecture. The Center has two main pillars: excellent research on all important topics related to finance; and policy advice, including the dissemination of relevant research findings to European decision makers from the realms of politics, regulation and administration.
In order to promote a fruitful exchange with interested parties from politics, academia, business and the media, SAFE issues a newsletter on a quarterly basis. This aims to provide an overview of the Center‘s ongoing research and policy activities. The SAFE Newsletter succeeds the House of Finance Newsletter, which was published between 2009 and 2012.
SAFE is based at Goethe University’s House of Finance however extends beyond by drawing on scholars from other parts of Goethe University as well as from fellow research institutions. The Center builds on the reputation of the House of Finance institutions, serving as an interdisciplinary think tank on the issue of finance.
FIAS Scientific Report
(2011)
This paper discusses the effect of capital regulation on the risk taking behavior of commercial banks. We first theoretically show that capital regulation works differently in different market structures of banking sectors. In lowly concentrated markets, capital regulation is effective in mitigating risk taking behavior because banks' franchise values are low and banks have incentives to pursue risky strategies in order to increase their franchise values. If franchise values are high, on the other hand, the effect of capital regulation on bank risk taking is ambiguous as banks lack those incentives. We then test the model predictions on a cross-country sample including 421 commercial banks from 61 countries. We find that capital regulation is effective in mitigating risk taking only in markets with a low degree of concentration. The results remain robust after accounting for financial sector development, legal system effciency, and for other country and bank-specific characteristics. Keywords: Banks, market structure, risk shifting, franchise value, capital regulation
ProtoSociology is an interdisciplinary journal which crosses the borders of philosophy, social sciences, and their corresponding disciplines. Each issue concentrates on a specific topic taken from the current discussion to which scientists from different fields contribute the results of their research. ProtoSociology is further a project that examines the nature of mind, language and social systems. In this context theoretical work has been done by investigating such theoretical concepts like interpretation and (social) action, globalization, the global world-system, social evolution, and the sociology of membership. Our purpose is to initiate and enforce basic research on relevant topics from different perspectives and traditions.
