This paper examines properties of mean-variance inefficient proxieswith respect to producing a linear relation between expected returnsand betas. The numerical results of a Monte Carlo simulation showthat in the CAPM slightly inefficient, positively weighted proxies causean almost perfect linear...

Ziel des Projekts und der damit verbundenen Forschungsaktivität war es, das in akademischerHinsicht kaum erforschte Gebiet der Relevanz und Auswirkungen der Finanzberatung imPrivatkundengeschäft zu untersuchen. Mit einer zu diesem Zweck aufgebauten Datenbank,die Kunden- und Beratungsdaten von...

Die Finanzkrise hat sich zur Wirtschaftskrise entwickelt. Viele Branchen sind betroffen und auch diedrei Säulen der Schweizer Altersvorsorge werden nicht verschont. Die Reserven der AHV sind um ca.2.5 Milliarden Schweizer Franken geschrumpft, die Anlagerendite der Pensionskassen war seit...

We present a regression-based generalization of the calendar time portfolio approach which allows for decomposing the risk-adjusted performance of private investors (or firms or mutual funds) into multivariate and continuous subject characteristics. Our technique remedies several well-known...

This paper empirically investigates the impact of both the first release of analysts' stock recommendations to a limited clientele and the subsequent dissemination of the same information in a major newspaper to a broader audience. For a sample of 1460 stock recommendations published in FuW,...

This paper presents an integrated analysis of the relationships between managerial share ownership (or alternatively the percentage of equity-based compensation), four additional corporate governance mechanisms, and firm value by explicitly incorporating the simultaneity of the process...

Einleitung: In der zweiten Hälfte der neunziger Jahre ist die Verbesserung der CorporateGovernance börsennotierter Gesellschaften zu einem intensiv diskutiertenThema geworden. Im Unterschied zu früheren Debatten, wie sie vor etwazwanzig Jahren anlässlich der Arbeit von Jensen/Meckling (1976)...
