Full textBaumgartner, Simon. "Three Essays on Risk Sharing." Doctoral thesis, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.18452/22112.
Full textThis thesis contains three chapters that empirically study the impact of risk on firm level decisions and firms’ ability to share risks with their stakeholders. The firms that are studied in all three papers are hotels in Austrian ski resorts. The first chapter provides a comprehensive study of the risk sharing between Austrian ski hotels and their stakeholders. We obtain two main results. The first main finding is that the entrepreneurs share snow-induced sales risk with their workers, while the dividend payments to the entrepreneurs are not affected by these exogenous shocks to firms’ sales. This finding opposes the view of the entrepreneur as a risk taker. We find that hotels insure their workers against weather-induced sales shocks only if the shocks are highly temporary during the winter-season. The second main result is that entrepreneurs share exogenous sales risk with their house-banks. The second chapter empirically analyzes interbank lending using a sample of banks in Austrian ski resorts. The banks are subject to liquidity shocks due to weather-induced demand shocks in ski tourism. We analyze the effect of these shocks on interbank lending and borrowing. In our analysis, we use snow in ski resorts as an instrumental variable for the possibly endogenous demand shocks. The analysis reveals that banks reduce their net lending to other banks at times when they need to provide liquidity to their non-bank customers. The third chapter empirically studies how small-firm employment respond to labor productivity risk. We show that this depends on the equity capital of local banks. We find that an increase in the risk of transitory productivity shocks reduces firms’ willingness to commit to employing workers. This effect is stronger if local banks have less equity capital. It appears that a lack of bank equity reduces firms’ capacity to take labor productivity risk.

Full textThis Dissertation tests the factors affecting the attitude and intention of consumers toward Islamic finance in two different countries, it also tests the factors affecting the self-efficacy and performance of Salespersons in Islamic banks including customer demandingness. The first chapter summarises the literature of behavioural finance and Islamic Behavioural finance and identifies the gaps and aims of the thesis. The second chapter uses a theoretical model based on the theory of reasoned actions to investigate the effects of attitude, religious motivation, awareness, and service and pricing, on the intention to use Islamic banking among the Muslim minority in Barcelona - Spain. It also determines the profile of a potential Islamic banking customer among this minority. The empirical part uses survey-based questions, factor analysis and logit regression to analyse the data. The results show that attitude, religious motivation and awareness are all important factors affecting the intention to use Islamic banking. The study also highlights that the profile of a potential Islamic banking customer. The research shows the potential for Islamic banks in the Spanish market, and the possibility of raising awareness about Islamic banking. It also shows that Islamic banking in Spain could help the Muslim minority to participate effectively in financial activities and highlights the importance of empowering the women in this minority and help society by encouraging off-banking money to flow into the financial sector. The study also highlights the importance of Islamic finance for Muslim minorities as a method to support their religious identity. The third chapter investigates the effects of the following factors: image; awareness; Shariah compliance and individualism, on the attitude and intention of customers to use Islamic banking among Bank customers in UAE, and the mediating role of attitude in that model, using a theoretical model based on the Multi-Attribute Attitude Model, the theory of reasoned actions and the theory of planned behaviour. The research will focus on surveying bank customers living in UAE. Structural equation modelling will be used to analyse the data. Results show that attitude and awareness affect intention directly, while image, awareness, Shariah compliance and individualism affect attitude directly and affect intention indirectly mediated by attitude. The chapter resulted in showing the importance of Shariah compliance of banks, the individualism of customers and image of the bank on attitude and intention and provides suggestions for banks to benefit from these aspects to widen their customer base. The study provides an insight into individuals’ decision-making and the importance of a social approach by banks when advertising. The final chapter will investigate the relationship between the factors: organisation image, awareness effort, customer demandingness, self-efficacy and self-rated performance among salespersons of Islamic banking products in the UAE and the mediating role of awareness effort and self-efficacy in the model, using a theoretical model based on the social cognitive theory. The chapter focuses on surveying salespersons of Islamic banking products in a mixed bank (a conventional bank that has an Islamic department) in the UAE. The researcher uses partial least squares to analyse the data. The results show that customer demandingness positively affects awareness effort at the sales level, awareness effort positively affects self-efficacy, self-efficacy positively affects performance and image positively affects salespersons’ self-efficacy and performance. Furthermore, the chapter highlights the mediating role of awareness effort and self-efficacy in the model. The study shows the importance of awareness effort to achieve better performance as well as the importance of addressing the customer requirements in the environment and the role of the organisation image in enforcing salespersons’ self-efficacy and performance.

Full textLa Hipótesis del Mercado Eficiente (HME) es uno de los pilares de la economía financiera. Decimos que un mercado financiero es informativamente eficiente si los precios reflejan toda la informacion disponible en un determinado momento. A pesar de las varias décadas de investigación sobre la HME, todavía quedan aspectos sobre los cuales no se ha llegado a un consenso en la literatura. Por ello, abordamos este estudio desde una perspectiva novedosa en tres aspectos. En primer lugar, asumiendo el carácter dinámico de la eficiencia informativa, estudiamos la misma mediante ventanas móviles para ver su evolución en el tiempo. En segundo lugar, introducimos técnicas estadísticas no utilizadas habitualmente en economía financiera. En tercer lugar, relacionamos los niveles de eficiencia informativa con determinadas variables económicas, con el objeto de ver su interacción. El capítulo 1 provee una introducción al tema y detalla la estructura de la tesis. En el capítulo 2 se establece el marco teórico y se realiza una pormenorizada descripcion de la evolución y los tests empíricos llevados a cabo sobre la HME. El capítulo 3 se compone de 4 ensayos que estudian mediante técnicas estadísticas avanzadas diferentes aspectos sobre la HME, como son la memoria de largo plazo, el carácter variable de la eficiencia informativa y su relación con determinadas variables economicas. Finalmente el capítulo 4 proporciona las principales conclusiones.
The Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) is one of the pillars of the financial economy. We say that a financial market is informationally efficient if the prices reflect all available information at a given time. Despite several decades of research on EMH, there are still issues on which no consensus has been reached in the literature. Therefore, we approach this study from a new perspective in three respects. First, assuming the dynamic nature of information efficiency, we study it by sliding windows to observe their evolution in time. Secondly, we introduce statistical techniques not commonly used in financial economics. Third, we relate information efficiency levels with certain economic variables, in order to see their interaction. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the topic and details the structure of the thesis. Chapter 2 provides the theoretical framework and a detailed description of the evolution and empirical tests carried out on the EMH is done. Chapter 3 consists of 4 essays which, using advanced statistical techniques different aspects of the EMH, such as long-term memory, the variable nature of the information efficiency and its relation to certain economic variables. Finally, Chapter 4 provides the main conclusions.

Full textThis thesis consists of three essays. In the first essay, we test empirically the pricing performance of several advanced financial models. We calibrate six advanced stock price models to a time series of real market data of European options on the DAX, a German blue chip index. Via a Monte Carlo simulation, we price barrier down-and-out call options for all models and compare the modelled prices to given real market data of the barrier options. The Bates model reproduces barrier option prices well. The BNS model overvalues and Lévy models with stochastic time-change and leverage undervalue the exotic options. A heuristic analysis suggests that the different degree of fluctuation of the random paths of the models are responsible of producing different prices for the barrier options. The second essay of this thesis discusses the relationship between coherent risk measures and concave distortion functions. A family of concave distortion functions is a set of concave and increasing functions, mapping the unity interval onto itself. Distortion functions play an important role defining coherent risk measures. We prove that any family of distortion functions which fulfils a certain translation equation, can be represented by a distribution function. An application can be found in actuarial science: moment based premium principles are easy to understand but in general are not monotone and cannot be used to compare the riskiness of different insurance contracts with each other. Our representation theorem makes it possible to compare two insurance risks with each other consistent with a moment based premium principle by defining an appropriate coherent risk measure. In the last essay of this thesis, we investigate financial markets with frictions, where bid and ask prices of financial intruments are described by sublinear pricing functionals. Such functionals can be defined recursively using coherent risk measures. We prove the convergence of bid and ask prices for various European and American possible path-dependent options, in particular plain vanilla, Asian, lookback and barrier options in a binomial model in the presence of transaction costs. We perform several numerical experiments to confirm the theoretical findings. We apply the results to real market data of European and American plain vanilla options and compute an implied liquidity to describe the bid-ask spread. This method describes liquidity over time very well, compared to the classical approach of describing the bid-ask spread by quoting bid and ask implied volatilities.

Rivero, Leiva David. "Three essays on financial intermediation." Doctoral thesis, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/10803/454815.
Full textThis Ph.D. thesis consists of three essays on financial intermediation. The main orientation of this dissertation is theoretical. All three essays are connected in that they deal with important features related to the literature on financial intermediation. Chapter 1 develops a model of financial intermediation to evaluate the impact of the monetary policy stance in the credit quality of loans extended in a bank-dependent economy. An important lesson from the Great Recession 2007-2009 is that the monetary policy stance may spur the risk appetite of the banking industry. Based on the costly state verification paradigm, I present a theoretical model with heterogeneous loan applicants and costly information acquisition in which financial intermediation activity is driven by a trade-off between processing information prior or after loan origination. Through changes in the diligence to determinate the credit standards, information processors shift the probability of the bankruptcy state and the riskiness in the composition of the pool of borrowers. Under this environment, a loose monetary policy decreases the diligence devoted by intermediaries to verify the creditworthiness of loan applicants, increasing the leverage of the non-financial sector. Moreover, it leads to a deterioration of the credit quality in the composition of the pool of borrowers which increases the likelihood of the bankruptcy state. Chapter 2 evaluates the role of Central Bank intermediation during solvency crises to restore the efficient allocation of capital in the economy when the interbank money market freezes. On the policy front, the tensions originated in financial markets after the bank run of Lehman Brothers required monetary authorities to go beyond conventional policy measures. To study how monetary authorities can replace the role of the extinguished interbank money market to allocate efficiently capital in the economy during systemic times, this chapter explores the subsidization of counterparty risk via credit policies. The basic idea is that Central Banks can intervene in the economy to reallocate savings to those banks with liquidity needs. When tensions in the money market arise due to the uncertainty about the solvency situation of specific counterparties, Central Banks can absorb the credit risk perceived in the market and subsidize the asymmetry in the marginal funding cost across regions. A model of liquidity and fears about bank runs is presented in chapter 3. In this chapter I, along with Hugo Rodríguez, study self-fulfilling panics in a modern banking system wherein nominal deposit arrangements are designed as means of payment. In an economy exposed to pure liquidity risk with endogeneous money creation, we show that classical bank runs caused by panics do not occur. A relevant discussion about financial instability is whether the failure of banking institutions is driven by sudden panics that force solvent banks to fail, or it is reflected by the fundamental deterioration in bank specific variables. Based on the traditional liquidity problem of Diamond and Dybvig (1983), our framework incorporates three elements into the theoretical literature of bank runs. First, the chain of intermediation starts when borrowers need money to make payments. Second, to offset liquidity risk, banks manage a demand for reserves from the central bank. Third, the maturity mismatch between banks assets and liabilities is inherent to the creation of new loans. Under such setting, there is a price mechanism that adjusts the demand for consumption each period, making the real value of deposit contracts contingent on the mass of withdrawals. This result does not support the self-fulfilling hypothesis of bank runs.

Full textEn esta disertación, nos acercamos a tres líneas únicas de la literatura de crowdfunding. En el primer capítulo, desarrollamos un modelo teórico que evalúa el financiamiento óptimo del emprendedor y la elección de lanzamiento al elegir entre crowdfunding basado en recompensas y financiamiento de deuda. Contrariamente a la literatura anterior, mostramos que cuando se utiliza el crowdfunding basado en recompensas, la estrategia óptima de fijación de precios del empresario implica comprometerse con el precio minorista futuro durante la campaña de crowdfunding y que esta estrategia óptima única implica recompensar a los patrocinadores con un descuento en relación con los futuros clientes minoristas. Al elegir entre financiamiento de deuda y crowdfunding basado en recompensas, mostramos que no existe una estrategia óptima única. La estrategia óptima dependería de los requisitos de capital del proyecto y la tasa de interés vigente. Descubrimos que los proyectos con requisitos de capital más bajos preferirán lanzarse mediante crowdfunding, ya que no necesitan apartarse de los precios óptimos de crowdfunding. Mientras que para requisitos de capital más altos, la estrategia óptima depende de los niveles de tasa de interés. En el segundo capítulo, nos separamos del análisis clásico de los motivos no financieros en el crowdfunding basado en recompensas e investigamos cómo los empresarios pueden incentivar financieramente a los patrocinadores para mejorar el rendimiento de la campaña. Mostramos específicamente cómo se puede utilizar la estrategia de fijación de precios del emprendedor para indicar la calidad del proyecto y la recompensa financiera que reciben los patrocinadores en relación con los clientes minoristas. Nuestro estudio implica el análisis de dos señales costosas, compromiso de precio y descuento, y una señal sin costo, el número de clases de recompensa. Nuestros resultados muestran que el uso del compromiso de precios y el descuento por parte del emprendedor está positivamente asociado con el desempeño de la campaña. El número de clases de recompensa exhibe una relación similar con el rendimiento del crowdfunding. Sin embargo, destacamos que las señales no funcionan de forma aislada y que, en presencia de las señales costosas, el efecto de la señal sin costo se debilita. Esto proporciona soporte adicional para el argumento de que cuando las señales costosas y sin costo interactúan, los patrocinadores dan prioridad a las primeras. El tercer capítulo de esta tesis amplía la literatura incipiente sobre el crowdfunding en serie al tener en cuenta la dimensión contextual de las campañas en la plataforma, previamente descuidada. Investigamos los efectos de los contextos cambiantes (industria y / o ubicación geográfica) en el rendimiento de la campaña. Presumimos que cambiar el contexto afectará negativamente el resultado de la campaña, ya que parte del conocimiento adquirido de campañas anteriores es específico del contexto. Además, postulamos que los emprendedores con un mayor nivel de experiencia en crowdfunding están en mejores condiciones para hacer generalizaciones a partir de la experiencia previa y aplicarlas a diferentes contextos, de modo que sufren menos los cambios en los contextos. Un análisis empírico del universo de crowdfunders en serie en Kickstarter respalda nuestras hipótesis. Además, mostramos que cambiar el contexto después del fracaso agrega una capa de complejidad que intensifica la relación negativa entre cambiar el contexto y el resultado de la campaña.
In this dissertation, we approach three unique strands of the crowdfunding literature. In the first chapter, we develop a theoretical model evaluating the entrepreneur’s optimal financing and launching choice when choosing between reward-based crowdfunding and debt financing. Contrary to previous literature, we show that when using reward-based crowdfunding, the entrepreneur’s optimal pricing strategy involves committing to the future retail price during the crowdfunding campaign and that this unique optimal strategy involves rewarding backers with a discount relative to future retail customers. When choosing between debt financing and reward-based crowdfunding, we show that there is no unique optimal strategy. The optimal strategy would depend on the project capital requirements and the prevailing interest rate. We find that projects with lower capital requirement will prefer to launch via crowdfunding since they do not need to diverge away from the optimal crowdfunding prices. Whereas for higher capital requirements, the optimal strategy depends on the interest rate levels. In the second chapter, we diverge from the classical analysis of non-financial motives in reward-based crowdfunding and investigate how entrepreneurs can financially incentivize backers in order to improve campaign performance. We specifically show how the entrepreneur’s pricing strategy can be used to signal the project’s quality and the financial reward that backers receive relative to retail customers. Our study involves the analysis of two costly signals, price commitment and discount, and a costless signal, the number of reward classes. Our results show that the use of price commitment and discount by the entrepreneur is positively associated with the campaign performance. The number of reward classes exhibits a similar relationship with crowdfunding performance. However, we highlight that signals do not work in isolation and that in the presence of the costly signals, the effect of the costless signal is weakened. This provides additional support for the argument that when costly and costless signals interact, backers prioritize the former. The third chapter of this thesis extends the nascent literature on serial crowdfunding by accounting for the previously neglected contextual dimension of campaigns on the platform. We investigate the effects of changing contexts (industry and/or geographic location) on the campaign performance. We hypothesize that changing context will adversely affect the campaign outcome as some of the acquired knowledge from previous campaigns is context-specific. Moreover, we posit that entrepreneurs with higher level of crowdfunding experience are better able to make generalizations from previous experience and apply them to different contexts such that they suffer less from changing contexts. An empirical analysis of the universe of serial crowdfunders on Kickstarter provides support for our hypotheses. We additionally show that changing context following failure adds a layer of complexity which intensifies the negative relationship between changing context and campaign outcome.
Glavas, Dejan. "Why do firms issue green bonds?" Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris 1, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020PA01E041.
Full textThis thesis topic is the green bond market and the incentives pushing firms into issuing this new type of security. Three key hypotheses were stated to explain the motive for a firm to issue a green bond. The first hypothesis (“long-term value creation”) asserts green bond issuers invest in green technologies to generate long-term value. The second hypothesis (“delegated philanthropy”), professes stakeholder pressure engenders the fundamental reason for a firm to issue green bonds. The third hypothesis (“agency view”) contends that managers of green bond issuing firms serve their own objectives. This thesis aims at testing these hypotheses through three empirical articles and a synthesis article added in the appendix
MORELLEC, ERWAN. "Theorie des options et decisions d'investissement et de financement." Jouy-en Josas, HEC, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998EHEC0060.
Full textSince the pathbreaking papers by black and scoles (1973) and merton (1974), contingent claims analysis has been widely applied to corporate finance. However, although this literature has made a great step toward a better understanding of investment and financing decisions, it has been unable so far to capture many stylized facts of corporate finance. This thesis shows that incorporating some features of the legal and economic environment of firms allows one to explain (at least partly) the data observed in practice. It is shown that - the possibility for a firm in financial distress to engage a reorganization procedure can account for early default and the low debt levels in capital structures; - asset liquidity can explain the size effect observed in capital structures and the high credit spreads; - managerial entrenchment and empire-building have an impact on the financing policy selected by the firm; - implementation delays affect both optimal investment policies and the valuation of projects

Full textEl primer capítulo documenta la prima AH alta, volátil y persistente en el mercado de valores de China. Mostramos que varios modelos estándar de precios de activos RE y Bayesianos no pueden explicar la prima AH, pero un modelo de aprendizaje interno racional donde los agentes aprenden sobre los precios de las acciones proporciona una explicación natural. Al relajar la fuerte suposición de información sobre el conocimiento de los agentes sobre el mapeo de precios, el precio esperado de los agentes se convierte en un factor adicional para determinar el precio del capital además de la información dada por los fundamentos. Encontramos que los modelos de aprendizaje sobre los precios de las acciones proporcionan una explicación muy natural para esta prima. Documentos recientes basados en la racionalidad interna muestran que aprender sobre los precios de las acciones es compatible con los inversores racionales y ese modelo explica empíricamente la alta volatilidad de los precios de las acciones. Las creencias subjetivas de los inversores sobre los precios de las acciones están dadas por un modelo que es una buena descripción de los precios reales y este modelo percibido es difícil de rechazar dados los precios reales de las acciones. Bajo este marco, los agentes se dan cuenta de que una acción A es en realidad una seguridad diferente de una acción H y que se puede comprar o vender el próximo período a un precio posiblemente diferente. El segundo capítulo desarrolla nuevas pruebas de formación de expectativas que generalmente son aplicables en modelos de precios de activos con varios supuestos informativos. Mostramos que estos modelos suelen imponer una gran cantidad de restricciones de cointegración entre las predicciones de las variables económicas, y estas restricciones de cointegración implican que los agentes tienen un conjunto de información sólido cuando forman sus expectativas. Nuestras pruebas utilizan estas restricciones. Los investigadores pueden aplicar estas pruebas para estudiar la cointegración entre pronósticos de variables exógenas y pronósticos de variables endógenas en su modelo, así como la cointegración entre pronósticos de diferentes variables endógenas. Además, estos modelos imponen restricciones de cointegración entre pronósticos de la misma variable (por ejemplo, precios de acciones) en diferentes horizontes de pronóstico. El tercer capítulo establece que la creencia dispersa como resultado de la fricción de la información crea un nuevo canal a través del cual el costo de bienestar de la inflación en un sector está aumentando en su flexibilidad de precios y altera el índice de inflación óptimo. Primero, en un modelo de dos sectores estático y simétrico, derivamos analíticamente las condiciones bajo las cuales un aumento de la flexibilidad de precios en toda la economía deteriora el bienestar, la paradoja de la flexibilidad de precios. Con información perfecta, tal reducción en la fricción nominal mejora el bienestar. Sin embargo, en presencia de fricciones de información, el canal de creencias dispersas podría dominar. En consecuencia, surge la paradoja de la flexibilidad de precios. En segundo lugar, la paradoja es más grave si la reducción de las fricciones nominales es simplemente un fenómeno sectorial. En nuestro análisis de referencia, nos enfocamos en un banco central con metas de inflación que estabiliza completamente el Índice de Precios al Consumidor (IPC), que es el principal mandato entre muchos bancos centrales del mundo. Dada esta política, una mayor flexibilidad de precios sectoriales es perjudicial para el bienestar social, incluso en ausencia de fricciones de información.
Agents' belief and information friction are crucial for asset price and macroeconomy. This thesis applies ""Internal Rationality"" learning approach to explain some interesting facts in the financial market and investigate the implication of information friction for social welfare. The first chapter documents the high, volatile and persistent AH premium in China stock market. We show that various standard RE and Bayesian RE asset pricing models cannot explain the AH premium, but a model of internally rational learning where agents learn about stock prices provides a natural explanation. By relaxing the strong information assumption about agents' knowledge about pricing mapping, agents' expected price becomes an additional factor to determine the equity price on top of the information given by fundamentals. We find that models of learning about stock prices provide a very natural explanation for this premium. Recent papers based on Internal Rationality show that learning about stock prices is compatible with rational investors and that model explains high volatility of stock prices empirically. Investors' subjective beliefs about stock prices are given by a model that is a good description of actual prices and this perceived model is hard to reject given actual stock prices. Under this framework, agents realize that an A-share is actually a different security from an H-share and that it can be purchased or sold next period at a possibly different price. The second chapter develops new tests of expectation formation which are generally applicable in asset pricing models with various informational assumptions. We show these models typically impose a large number of cointegration restrictions between forecasts of economic variables, and these cointegration restrictions imply that agents have strong information set when they form their expectations. Our tests utilize these restrictions. Researchers can apply these tests to study the cointegration between forecasts of exogenous variables and forecasts of endogenous variables in their model as well as the cointegration between forecasts of different endogenous variables. Moreover, these models impose cointegration restrictions between forecasts of the same variable (e.g., stock prices) over different forecasting horizons. The evidence casts some doubt on the modeling of expectation formation in the asset pricing models which assume agents possess the knowledge of the equilibrium pricing function as in Rational Expectations and Bayesian Rational Expectations models. Relaxing this knowledge appears necessary for models to reconcile the survey evidence and potential resolutions are discussed. The third chapter establishes that the dispersed belief as a result of information friction creates a novel channel through which the welfare cost of inflation in a sector is increasing in its price flexibility and alters the optimal inflation index. First, in a static and symmetric two-sector model, we derive analytically the conditions under which an economy-wide increase in price flexibility is welfare-deteriorating---the paradox of price flexibility. With perfect information, such a reduction in nominal friction is welfare-improving. However, in the presence of information frictions, the dispersed beliefs channel might dominate. Consequently, the paradox of price flexibility arises. Second, the paradox is more severe if the reduction in nominal frictions is merely a sectoral phenomenon. In our baseline analysis, we focus on an inflation-targeting central bank that fully stabilizes the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is the principal mandate among many central banks in the world. Given this policy, increased sectoral price flexibility is detrimental to social welfare, even in the absence of information frictions. These results are carried over to the dynamic model. We find that a monetary policy that stabilizes the optimal inflation index mitigates the paradox.

Full textUsing a sample of non-financial listed firms located in the Euro area, I investigate the determinants of capital structure choices. In line with the traditional theoretical approach, I use a market-value measure of leverage, estimated with the Black-Scholes-Merton model. I find that some variables have similar effects across countries, while others may play a different role; risk, measured as the volatility of the market enterprise value, is the best predictor of observed leverage ratios. Risk, and asymmetric information about risk, make debt less attractive, because of higher expected bankruptcy costs, lower expected debt tax shield and higher agency costs. National environments are an important determinant of observed ratios. The integration of Euro-area financial markets varies significantly depending on the market segment considered: money and inter-bank markets are highly integrated, corporate bond and equity markets show a clear path of increasing integration, retail banking markets are much less integrated. Fiscal and bankruptcy rules differ across the twelve countries; the economic background varies as well.
