Analyse von Finanzmarkt-Gesprächen: Schwafelnde Manager schaden dem Unternehmen
Verweigert eine Top-Führungskraft gegenüber Profi-Investoren die Auskunft, sinkt danach der Börsenwert des Unternehmens. Das zeigt eine Studie des Leibniz-Instituts für Wirtschaftsforschung Halle (IWH) nach Auswertung von 1,2 Millionen Antworten aus Telefonkonferenzen.

On Modeling IPO Failure Risk
Gonul Colak, Mengchuan Fu, Iftekhar Hasan
Economic Modelling,
April
2022
Abstract
This paper offers a novel framework, combining firm operational risk, IPO pricing risk, and market risk, to model IPO failure risk. By analyzing nearly a thousand variables, we observe that prior IPO failure risk models have suffered from a major missing-variable problem. Evidence reveals several key new firm-level determinants, e.g., the volatility operating performance, the size of its accounts payable, pretax income to common equity, total short-term debt, and a few macroeconomic variables such as treasury bill rate, and book-to-market of the DJIA index. These findings have major economic implications. The total value loss from not predicting the imminent failure of an IPO is significantly lower with this proposed model compared to other established models. The IPO investors could have saved around $18billion over the period between 1994 and 2016 by using this model.

Der Mindestlohn steigt deutlich stärker als Preise und Produktivität
Die Mindestlohnkommission hat am heutigen Tag beschlossen, dass der flächendeckende gesetzliche Mindestlohn in Deutschland zum 01.01.2017 um 4% auf 8,84 Euro steigen soll. Dieser Anstieg liegt deutlich über dem Anstieg der Lebenshaltungskosten und dem Produktivitätsfortschritt. Daher verschlechtert sich die Profitabilität betroffener Unternehmen noch einmal spürbar.

IT Use, Productivity, and Market Power in Banking
Michael Koetter, Felix Noth
Journal of Financial Stability,
Nr. 4,
2013
Abstract
Information management is a core process in banking that can resolve information asymmetries and thereby help to mitigate competitive pressure. We test if the use of information technology (IT) contributes to bank output, and how IT-augmented bank productivity relates to differences in market power. Detailed bank-level information on the use of IT reveals a substantial upward bias in bank productivity estimates when ignoring banks’ IT expenditures. IT-augmented bank productivity correlates positively with Lerner markups. A mere increase in IT expenditures, however, reduces markups. Results hold across a range of bank output definitions and productivity estimation methods.

Do Banks Benefit from Internationalization? Revisiting the Market Power–Risk Nexus
Claudia M. Buch, C. T. Koch, Michael Koetter
Review of Finance,
Nr. 4,
2013
Abstract
We analyze the impact of bank internationalization on domestic market power (Lerner index) and risk for German banks. Risk is measured by the official declaration of regulatory authorities that a bank is distressed. We distinguish the volume of foreign assets, the number of foreign countries, and different modes of foreign entry. Our analysis has three main results. First, higher market power is associated with lower risk. Second, holding assets in many countries reduce market power at home, but banks with a higher share of foreign assets exhibit higher market power. Third, bank internationalization is only weakly related to bank risk.
