Genossenschaftsbanken sind de jure zur Mitgliederförderung verpflichtet. Insbesondere in Phasen strategischer Veränderungen, wie etwa im Zuge von Fusionen, darf der Förderauftrag nicht vernachlässigt werden. Überraschenderweise widmet sich die bisherige Literatur dem Förderauftrag im...

We provide novel evidence on the effectiveness of mandated changes in Russian transparency and disclosure (henceforth T&D) rules in boosting shareholder welfare. We focus on the staggered implementation of these T&D reforms initiated in 2002 and implemented during 2003-07. Using difference in...

How does the value of a firm change in response to a minimum wage hike? The evidence we have to date is not well-suited to answer this question, principally because events that have been studied are not completely unknown to the stock market or have uncertainty associated with them. This paper...

We conduct an event study to (1) analyze whether investors revise their expectations about a music album's success when new chart information is published and (2) estimate how these revised expectations affect the value of a music label. We find that expectations about the success of an album...

This article documents a structural change in the production of science in the U.S. semiconductor industry over almost three decades. We observe a change in scientific productivity over time, where smaller firms publish more articles per dollar in R&D. Moreover, our results show a positive...

This paper presents a simple model for dual-class stock shares, in which common shareholders receive both public and private cash flows (i.e. dividends and any private benefit of holding voting rights) and preferred shareholders only receive public cash flows (i.e. dividends). The dual-class...

We examine how CEOs' impact on firm value varies over time. We document a hump-shaped relation between CEO tenure and firm value which is subject to meaningful variation depending on industry dynamics, the business cycle, and CEOs' adaptability to changes. Semi-parametric estimations, stock...

This study documents a positive, economically meaningful impact of executives' general managerial skills on shareholder value. Examining 171 sudden executive deaths over thirty years, we find that a one-standard-deviation increase in the general ability index corresponds to at least a 1.5...

We show theoretically and empirically that executives are paid less for their own firm's performance and more for their rivals' performance if an industry's firms are more commonly owned by the same set of investors. Higher common ownership also leads to higher unconditional total pay. We...

Oil and gas exploration companies (E&Ps) exhibit large variations in earnings due to volatile oil and gas prices. Furthermore, their primary asset, oil and gas reserves, is accumulated through highly risky exploration activities. In contrast, integrated oil and gas companies display lower...

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become a substantial firm investment. However, the firm value implications of CSR, i.e., whether doing good aligns with doing well, are still a topic of hot debate in practice and research alike. More than three decades of research have only produced...

In diesem Aufsatz werden die adäquaten durchschnittlichen Kapitalkosten zur Bewertung von Unternehmen mittels des WACC-Verfahrens für den Fall bestimmt, dass der erwartete Cash flow mit einer konstanten Rate wächst und dieses Wachstum durch eine teilweise Thesaurierung der Gewinne finanziert...

Alle modernen Verfahren der Unternehmensbewertung basieren auf der Diskontierung von risikobehafteten Größen zukünftiger Zeitpunkte. Zur Berücksichtigung des Risikos wird zumeist vorgeschlagen, mit einem Zinssatz zu diskontieren, der eine adäquate Risikoprämie enthält. Die genauere...
