This study examines credit lending decision adjustments of executive board members of German banks following different levels of auditor materiality threshold disclosures. Based on an experimental research design, we find that if a materiality threshold, which is in line with current audit...

Advances in data analytics is fundamentally changing the field of auditing. The primary objective of this paper is to develop a holistic, multidimensional framework to better understand the dynamics of the diffusion of audit data analytics (ADA). The framework we developed covers categories...

Measurement in financial accounting often requires determining an interest rate to discount future cash flows. One example is the International Accounting Standard (IAS)36 Impairment of assets. IAS 36´s impairment test requires determining a value in use (a present value). The Appendix A to the...

We introduce a simple game-theoretical model that captures the main aspects of the repeated interaction between an issuer and a credit-rating agency. It involves up-front payments of issuer-fees and direct publication of requested ratings. Due to pecuniary injuries for untruthful ratings, the...

We conducted a laboratory experiment to study the price setting behavior in two-sided markets. We seek to answer two specific research questions: Do participants charge the equilibrium prices that can be derived from a theoretical model? How is the price setting affected by the characteristics...

The article examines mechanism of bid price determination in public procurement by individual tenderers. A game theory approach is used to analyse this process. Firstly, a simple model with two firms illustrates the influence of expected opponent’s decision in bid price setting. Assumptions...

Die deutsche Infrastrukturdebatte ist durch ökonomische Perspektiven geprägt und vernachlässigt häufig die Besonderheiten der beiden Teilbereiche sozialer und technischer Infrastrukturen und die Abstimmungsprobleme sowohl zwischen den verschiedenen Sparten der Infrastrukturplanung als auch...

We study the existence and uniqueness of equilibria for perfectly competitive markets in capacitated transport networks. The model under consideration is rather general so that it captures basic aspects of related models in, e.g., gas or electricity networks. We formulate the market equilibrium...

We study uncertain linear complementarity problems (LCPs), that is, problems in which the LCP vector q or the LCP matrix M may contain uncertain parameters. To this end, we use the concept of Γ‐robust optimization applied to the gap function formulation of the LCP. Thus, this work builds upon...
