Zuweilen wird die Meinung vertreten, dass es Investoren um jeden Preis vermeiden sollten, Steuern zu zahlen. Im Rahmen eines einfachen Portfoliomodells mit Steuern wird untersucht, ob Steuervermeidung tatsächlich auf μ-σ2-effiziente Lösungen führt. Für vier verschiedene Konzepte der...

In der Literatur zur Steuerwirkung des CAPM wurde bisher unterstellt, dass die Steuerzahlungen nicht an die Marktteilnehmer zurückverteilt werden. Diese Annahme ist unrealistisch. Wir lassen sie in diesem Modell fallen. Aus der allgemeinen Gleichgewichtstheorie ist bekannt, dass bei einem...

In this paper we consider firms having pension and other non-tradeable liabilities and we ask whether the methods of discounted cash flow (DCF) can be used for evaluation of the company. This question was so far not discussed in the literature systematically. We show how balance sheet are to be...

For the valuation of a company it is necessary to take the in come tax of its owners into account. When looking at a squeeze-out with investors who have different wealth this implies that fair compensation payments will be different. This is in contradiction to the German Stock Companies Act. In...

We generalize the classical concept of a certainty equivalent to a model where an investor can trade on a capital market with several future trading dates. We show that if a riskless asset is traded and the investor has a CARA utility then our generalized certainty equivalent can be evaluated...

We extend the WACC approach to a tax system having a firm income tax and a personal income tax of the investor as well. We use an artificial tax system incorporating most of the G-7 national tax codes as for example the classical or the imputation systems. On our website (www.wacc.de) WACC...

The traditional literature on the CAPM assumes that investor's tax payments simply vanish from the model. This assumption is not at all consistent with the actual behavior of the Treasury. The theory of general equilibrium states that an interest rate rf = 0 will not affect prices if taxes are...

The best way to improve daylight performance is to take a closer look on the behaviour of lighting the interior of sample building spaces. Scale models are commonly used to assess daylighting performance of buildings using an artificial sky for purpose of research and teaching as well as...
