The paper provides an axiomatic characterization of dynamic risk measures for multi-period financial positions. For the special case of a terminal cash flow, we require that risk depends on its conditional distribution only. We prove a representation theorem for dynamic risk measures and...

Diese Dokumentation beschreibt das integrierte Steuer-Transfer-Mikrosimulations- und CGE-Modell FiFoSiM des Finanzwissenschaftlichen Forschungsinstituts an der Universität zu Köln (FiFo). FiFoSiM unterscheidet sich von den bisherigen Steuer- und Transfersimulationsmodellen auf zweierlei Weise...

This documentation describes FiFoSiM, the integrated tax benefit microsimulation and CGE model of the Center of Public Economics at the University of Cologne. FiFoSiM consists of three main parts. The first part is a static tax benefit microsimulation module. The second part adds a behavioural...

This paper describes FiFoSiM, the integrated tax benefit microsimulation and CGE model of the Center of Public Economics at the University of Cologne. FiFoSiM consists of three main parts. The first part is a static tax benefit microsimulation module. The second part adds a behavioural component...

This paper studies implications of uncertainty about the arrival date of a competitive CO2 backstop technology for the design of cost-effective CO2 emission trading schemes. For this purpose, we develop a dynamic general equilibrium model that captures empirical links between CO2 emissions...

Modern bank management comprises both classical lending business and transfer of asset risk to capital markets through securitization. Sound knowledge of the risks involved in securitization transactions is a prerequisite for solid risk management. This paper aims to resolve a part of the...

Traditional models of capital budgeting including taxes are based on deterministic tax rates and tax bases. In reality, however, there are multiple sources of tax uncertainty. Tax reforms induce frequent changes in both tax rates and tax bases, making future taxation of investments a stochastic...

In diesem Beitrag werden die Effekte symmetrischer und differenzierender Besteuerung auf die Portfoliowahl und den Arbeitsanreiz untersucht. Hierbei wird zunächst ein Portfoliomodell mit zwei riskanten Projekten im Ein-Personen-Kontext, d.h. ohne Arbeitsanreizproblem betrachtet. Symmetrische...
