Wegen der Finanzkrise fordert die Schweizer
Bankenaufsicht EBK, dass UBS und
Credit Suisse ihre Eigenmittel massiv aufstocken,
damit die beiden Banken zukünftig über ein dickeres Risikopolster verfügen. Über Sinn und Unsinn einer
Leverage Ratio ist eine intensive Diskussion entbrannt. Der abtretende Universitätsprofessor Rudolf Volkart befürwortet
eine schärfere Regulierung unserer beiden Grossbanken, selbst wenn sie im schweizerischen Alleingang umgesetzt werden sollte – obwohl das Arbeitsplätze in der Schweiz kosten könnte. Der Zürcher Finanzprofessor Rudolf Volkart über Eigenkapitalerfordernisse für die Schweizer Grossbanken und Shareholder Value. |

Gabriel Neukomm, Modelling of higher moments of stock return processes, University of Zurich, Faculty of Economics, Business Administration and Information Technology, 2008. (Master's Thesis)
Most popular models for Conditional Higher Moments of stock return processes are imposing
a specific assumption on their parametric structure. This paper studies the issue
of predicting Conditional Higher Moments of stock return processes and the associated
Probability Densities with only making an assumption on the appropriate filtration. A
Parameter Free Approach to Predictions for that purpose is introduced, that relies on
Nonparametric Probability Estimations and the concept of Maximum Likelihood. The
Prediction Approach is tested with artificial data from standard models for Conditional
Volatility and Conditional Skewness as well as for observed market data. It is able to
understand the properties of those standard models and is able to follow them, in case
of the GARCH model unfortunately only with a slight bias. In case of observed market
data the Approach is able to recognize some of the stylized facts, which are observed with
Conditional Volatility. Furthermore it confirms the proposed property, that Conditional
Skewness is reversely correlated with the lagged return. |

Gary King, Orin Rosen, Martin A. Tanner, Alexander Wagner, Replication data for "Ordinary economic voting in the extraordinary election of Adolf Hitler", 2008. (Other Publication)
The enormous Nazi voting literature rarely builds on modern statistical or economic research. By adding these approaches, we find that the most widely accepted existing theories of this era cannot distinguish the Weimar elections from almost any others in any country. Via a retrospective voting account, we show that voters most hurt by the depression, and most likely to oppose the government, fall into separate groups with divergent interests. This explains why some turned to the Nazis and others turned away. The consequences of Hitler's election were extraordinary, but the voting behavior that led to it was not. |

Rudolf Volkart, Kapitalkosten und Risiko: Cost of Capital als zentrales Element der betrieblichen Finanzpolitik, Versus Verlag, Zürich, 2008. (Book/Research Monograph)
In der modernen Corporate Finance kommt den Kapitalkosten zentrale Bedeutung zu. Die Bewertung von Unternehmen, Geschäftsbereichen und Projekten hängt entscheidend von den Kapitalkosten und den hinter diesen Objekten stehenden Risiken ab.
Eine fundierte Kenntnis der Kapitalkostenkonzepte ist nicht nur im Rahmen der Investitionspolitik wesentlich. Auch finanzpolitische Entscheidungen wie die Wahl der Kapitalstruktur, die Durchführung von Aktienrückkäufen oder der Einsatz von hochverzinslichem Fremdkapital sind vor diesem Hintergrund zu betrachten.
Das dritte Werk von Rudolf Volkart zur wertorientierten Führung - neben «Shareholder Value und Corporate Valuation» sowie «Unternehmensbewertung und Akquisitionen» - zeichnet sich durch die vernetzte Art der Darstellung und die konsequente Verbindung von Theorie und Praxis aus. |

Thomas Iseli, Alexander Wagner, Rolf H Weber, Legal and economic aspects of best execution in the context of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID), Law and Financial Markets Review, Vol. 1 (4), 2007. (Journal Article)
This paper explores the implications for investment firms and clients that arise out of an interpretation of the Market in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) best execution requirements from a law and economics perspective. While best execution is often framed as a matter of investor protection, research on market microstructure suggests that there is, in fact, an efficiency rationale (and not only a distributional rationale) for having some degree of best execution regulation. In terms of the specific rules of MiFID, the analysis reveals that an investment firm’s best execution policy will play a central role. MiFID’s best execution concept is process- based, ie investment firms need to show that they took measures leading to best execution in expectation; actual best execution is not required. The paper also discusses current issues such as the form of the execution policy and the appropriate number of execution venues. |
