And, where appropriate, what Copula-model parameters should be used? In answer to these two questions, the empirical value at risk and expected shortfall study calculates various forms of investment from a total of 1275 bivariate portfolios composed of the log returns of such forms of investment. The simulations made show that for just one-third of the examined portfolios a Copula-GARCH model could help improve the VaR estimates of the DCC model as a correlation-based benchmark. This proves that this study has not been able to show that Copula models are more advantageous in general over correlation-based ones. At the same time, the empirical Copula-based adjustment test, which has been used in this study, has been weak by comparison as regards its ability to select the optimal model. In almost all cases, the GoF test has produced either an ambivalent or a false recommendation. At the same time, it has been demonstrated that certain descriptive statistics may well be used as decisionmaking aid in favour of a Copula-GARCH model and, respectively, the DCC model. Finally, this study shows that the completely time-dependent mixture of Copulas used in this study for the first time have been of an only low prognosticating quality.","PeriodicalId":280048,"journal":{"name":"Kredit Und Kapital","volume":"190 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117347952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analyses show that the investment volumes of non-listed small and medium-sized firms, which – insofar as external sources of finance are concerned – depend on bank lendings to an especially large extent, are strongly determined by internal resources. Moreover, small and medium-sized firms – unlike listed and large non-listed firms – are not able to substitute other financial resources for bank loans. The results of this article suggest that the decline in the aggregated credit volume in the period under review does not exclusively represent a response to structural changes on the demand side. They rather indicate the existence of supply-oriented disturbances in the credit market („credit crunch“) adversely affecting the firms examined to varying degrees.","PeriodicalId":280048,"journal":{"name":"Kredit Und Kapital","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130004962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Economic theory suggests that especially small countries and countries with large import shares have an incentive to free ride and stabilize less intensively. Prominent US-economists blamed the German government that it pursues a “Beggar-thy-Neighbour” policy during the current financial crisis. We investigate this hypothesis by analyzing the stimulus packages of roughly 50 countries during the financial crisis. Generally, the effects of country size and import shares are small suggesting that there is no need for international coordination of fiscal policy.","PeriodicalId":280048,"journal":{"name":"Kredit Und Kapital","volume":"130 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122923334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is the date on which the highest daily loss was recorded after issuance of the first endless leverage index certificates in 2001. This clinical study analyses the intraday pricing activities of five issuers of endless leverage index certificates on the DAX for this crash day. We have found significant economic and statistical differences between the pricing activities of the individual issuers. In addition, the empirically observed relative valuation difference between the listed price and the fair value also depends on leverage. In the case of long certificates, leverage is responsible for a positive influence on the relative valuation difference and vice versa where short certificates are concerned. The issuers have been found to apply different strategies when adjusting the width of their bid/ask price spread. The relative spread significantly correlates with the relative valuation difference in each case. The relative difference between the DAX cash market and the DAX futures market is the inverse of the valuation difference between listed prices and fair value in the case of long certificates and vice versa in the case of short certificates.","PeriodicalId":280048,"journal":{"name":"Kredit Und Kapital","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126567416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, such estimation is subject to uncertainty. In order to assess the uncertainty affecting the simultaneous estimation of both parameters, the discussion in literature focuses on the use of asymptotic confidence regions. However, such regions need a very long credit history to allow such assessment to be exact. Bootstrapping represents an alternative method where the data history is short. But this method gives rise to noticeably more intense calculation work. The present article examines the minimum number of periods that must be available in order that bootstrapping and a Wald confidence region permit a comparable assessment of the credit risk. The methods applied here generate similar results where more than 100 historical periods are available....","PeriodicalId":280048,"journal":{"name":"Kredit Und Kapital","volume":"326 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122143750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
