Demographic change belongs to the mega-trends of the 20th and the 21st century. The ongoing aging process in major industrialized countries gives rise to the relative scarcity of raw labor and the relative abundance of physical capital. Standard macroeconomic models suggest that this depresses asset returns and increases wages which, in turn, provides incentives for more human capital accumulation. This thesis quantifies the macroeconomic effects of demographic change and reveals the importance of human capital adjustments for price and welfare effects within and across generations. Chapter 1 investigates the distributions of income, skills, and welfare in the German economy along the inter- and the intra-generational dimension. It shows that demographic change leads to a more capital- and skill-intensive economy and that high-school households loose compared to college households in terms of welfare. Chapter 2 disentangles the effect of demographic change on returns to risk-free and risky assets in the U.S. and measures the net effect on the equity premium. It shows that both returns decline while the equity premium increases slightly. Endogenous human capital adjustments are crucial for relatively small effects. Chapter 3 develops a method for computing transitional dynamics in heterogeneous agent models with aggregate risk if these transitions are induced by exogenous deterministic dynamics such as demographic change. The application of the method to a simple illustrative example shows a large reduction in total computing time while approximation errors are small.
Challenging voluntary CSR-initiatives – a case study on the effectiveness of the Equator Principles
(2015)
The Equator Principles (EPs) are a voluntary and self-regulatory Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative in the field of project finance. The EPs provide a number of principles to businesses to reduce the negative impacts of lending practices linked to environment-damaging projects. The paper argues that the actual impact of the EPs even now as revised version is still limited. This is due to their voluntary nature and their lack of adequate governance mechanisms, that is, enforcement, monitoring and sanctioning. With the help of RepRisk, which provides a database capturing third-party criticism as well as a company’s or project’s exposure to controversial socio-environmental issues, the paper evaluates the on-the-ground performances of the two ‘Equator banks’ Barclays and JPMorgan Chase and compares their performance with the one of the two non-Equator banks Deutsche Bank and UBS. The paper shows that the EPs do not have a substantial influence on the broader CSR-performance of multinational banks due to the EPs’ limited scope – focusing mainly on project finance – and the (still) existing various loopholes, grey areas and discretionary leeway. The paper also gives an overview of the main institutional shortcomings of the EPs and their association and discusses some potential reform steps which should be taken to further strengthen and ‘harden’ this ‘soft law’ EP-framework. The paper thus argues in favor of (more) mandatory and legally binding rules and standards at the transnational level to overcome the EPs’ ‘voluntariness bias’.
This paper examines whether an exogenous anticipated monetary shock causes real economic effects, i.e. whether anticipated money is neutral. A major finding is that an anticipated monetary shock can in fact be massively non-neutral in the shortrun, if the economic environment is characterized by strategic complementarity. If the environment is characterized by strategic substitutability, anticipated monetary shocks are largely neutral.
Die Dissertation besteht aus drei thematisch zusammenhängenden Forschungspapieren, in denen zeitstetige Konsum-, Investment- und Versicherungsprobleme über den Lebenszyklus betrachtet werden. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt auf realistischen Features wie stochastischem Sterberisiko und nicht-replizierbarem Einkommen. In der ersten Forschungsarbeit untersuche ich die Relevanz von stochastischem Sterberisiko. Dabei zeige ich, dass eine Sprungkomponente in der Sterberate die optimalen Entscheidungen der Agenten und das Wohlfahrtslevel signifikant beeinflusst. Eine Diffusionskomponente ist hingegen vernachlässigbar. In dem zweiten Forschungspapier untersuchen wir die Risikolebensversicherungsnachfrage einer Familie, dessen Alleinverdiener stochastischem Sterberisiko ausgesetzt ist. Wir achten insbesondere auf eine realistische Modellierung der Versicherung. Wir zeigen, dass dadurch junge Agenten dem Versicherungsmarkt fern bleiben und die Versicherungsnachfrage mit dem Alter steigt, im Gegensatz zu Modellen mit einfachen stetig-veränderbaren Versicherungen. Weiterhin verstärken langlaufende Versicherungsverträge die negativen Effekte von Einkommensschocks und werden daher von risikoaversen Agenten weniger abgeschlossen. In der dritten Forschungsarbeit untersuche ich die Critical Illness Versicherungsnachfrage eines Agenten in einem Modell mit stochastischem Sterberisiko und Gesundheitsausgaben. Die Versicherung übernimmt dabei die zusätzlichen Gesundheitskosten, die bei einem Sprung entstehen. Fast alle Agenten schließen solch eine Versicherung vor dem Rentenalter ab, selbst wenn diese sehr kostspielig ist. Insbesondere Agenten mit geringen Gesundheitsausgaben und hohem Einkommen haben eine hohe Versicherungsnachfrage.
Essays in behavioral economics - evidence on self-selection into jobs, social networks and leniency
(2013)
Die Dissertation mit dem Titel „Essays in Behavioral Economics – Evidence on Self-Selection into Jobs, Social Networks and Leniency“ besteht aus einer Sammlung von vier wissenschaftlichen Abhandlungen. Alle Arbeiten verbindet die Analyse von theoretischen Konzepten und Erkenntnissen der Verhaltensökonomie unter Verwendung der experimentellen Methode. Die erste wissenschaftliche Abhandlung trägt den Titel „Sorting of Motivated Agents - Empirical Evidence on Self-Selection into the German Police“ und untersucht Selbstselektion bestimmter Individuen in den Polizeiberuf. Die experimentelle Studie untersucht die Frage, ob Polizeibewerber sich hinsichtlich ihrer Präferenzen in Bezug auf ihr Normdurchsetzungsverhalten in den Polizeiberuf selektieren. Die zweite Abhandlung greift diese Erkenntnisse auf und untersucht Polizeianwärter in ihrer Berufsausbildung ebenfalls hinsichtlich ihrer Normdurchsetzungsbereitschaft. Die Arbeit trägt den Titel „Selection and formation of motivated agents -- empirical evidence from the German Police”. In der dritten wissenschaftlichen Abhandlung werden geschlechterspezifische Unterschiede bei der Wahl von Partnern und dem Aufbau des sozialen Netzwerkes untersucht. Diese trägt den Titel „Selectivity and opportunism: two dimensions of gender differences in trust games and network formation“ und wurde zusammen mit Guido Friebel, Marie Lalanne, Paul Seabright und Peter Schwardmann verfasst. Die vierte Abhandlung geht einer aktuellen Fragestellung der Industrieökonomie nach und trägt den Titel „Antitrust, auditing and leniency programs: evidence from the laboratory“, verfasst mit Mehdi Feizi and Ali Mazyaki. In ihrer Gesamtheit liefert meine Dissertation Antworten auf personalpolitische, soziale und industrieökonomische Fragestellungen.
Ziel meiner Dissertation ist die empirische Analyse von Auswirkungen der sozialen Interaktion zwischen Akteuren auf Finanzmärkten. Die folgenden Aufsätze sind Bestandteil dieser kumulativen Dissertation:
1. Frederik König (2012): Does Social Interaction destabilise Financial Markets?
2. Frederik König (2012) : Analyst Behaviour: the Geography of Social Interaction
3. Frederik König (2012) : Fluctuations of Social Influence: Evidence from the Behaviour of Mutual Fund Managers during the Economic Crisis 2008/09
In meinem ersten Aufsatz stelle ich ein Marktpreismodell vor, welches dem Einfluss durch soziale Interaktion Rechnung trägt. Mit Hilfe dieses Modells gehe ich der Fragestellung nach, ob soziale Interaktion zwischen Marktteilnehmern eine stabilisierende oder eine destabilisierende Wirkung auf Finanzmärkte hat. Mit meinem zweiten Aufsatz untersuche ich das Verhalten von Aktienanalysten, die als wesentlicher Impulsgeber für Finanzmärkte gelten. Konkret stelle ich heraus, ob Analysten stärker von anderen Analysten beeinflusst werden, wenn diese im gleichen Land bzw. in der gleichen Stadt arbeiten oder wenn sogar ein regelmäßiger Meinungsaustausch erfolgt. Beides setzte ich ins Verhältnis zum vorherrschenden Marktumfeld. In meinem dritten Aufsatz beschäftige ich mich mit der sozialen Interaktion zwischen Fondsmanagern. Diese verwalten in etwa ein Drittel des frei handelbaren Aktienvermögens und haben folglich einen nennenswerten Einfluss auf Finanzmärkte. Mit Hilfe einer neuartigen Schätzmethode bestimme ich die Größe des sozialen Einflusses und untersuche auch hier temporale Variationen im Verhältnis zum zu Grunde liegenden Marktumfeld. Des Weiteren zerlege ich die Gesamtgröße des sozialen Einflusses in zwei Komponenten, die zum einen den Einfluss im Rahmen der reinen Beobachtung und zum anderen den Einfluss durch Kommunikation reflektieren.
In this thesis the behavior of banks in financial markets which banks frequently use to obtain short-term as well as long-term financing is studied. In the first chapter we incorporate an interbank market for collateralized lending among banks into a dynamic, stochastic, general equilibrium (DSGE) framework to analyze the impact of variations in the expected value of the collateral on the interbank lending volume. We find that a central bank which decides to lower the haircut on eligible collateral in repurchase agreements is able to stimulate interbank markets. In the second chapter a microeconomic model of bank behavior on the interbank market is set up to analyze the impact of risk-taking behavior of interbank borrowing banks and uncertainty about their balance sheet quality on the lending behavior of interbank lending banks. It is found that the disruptions on the interbank market are the result of optimal behavior on the part of interbank lending banks in response to the uncertainty about the balance sheet quality of an interbank borrowing bank. In the third chapter we use monthly data on German bank bond spreads and regress it on bank-specific risk factors to assess the degree of market discipline in the German bank bond market. The regression results for the whole German bank bond market indicate that the bond spread does not show signs of market discipline. However, a structural break analysis uncovers that since the beginning of the financial crisis the German bank bond market exhibits at least a weak form of market discipline for bonds issued by medium-size and large banks.
