EuroCow, the Calibration and Orientation Workshop (Euro- pean Spatial Data Research)

This research presents methods for detecting and isolating faults in multiple Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) configurations. Traditionally, in the inertial technology, the task Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) is realized by the parity space method. However, this approach performs poorly with low-cost MEMS-IMUs, although, it provides...

Goodness-of-fit for Generalized Linear Latent Variables Models

Generalized Linear Latent Variables Models (GLLVM) enable the modeling of relationships between manifest and latent variables, where the manifest variables are distributed according to a distribution of the exponential family (e.g. binomial or normal) and to the multinomial distribution (for ordinal manifest variables). These models are widely used in social sciences. To test the...

Arztzeugnisse in arbeitsrechtlichen Streitigkeiten

Arztzeugnisse sind wichtig im Hinblick auf die Verlängerung der Probezeit, die Lohnfortzahlung, die Ferienverlängerung, die Erstreckung der Kündigungsfrist, die Nichtigkeit einer Kündigung und die Leistungen der Arbeitslosenversicherung. Dennoch fehlt eine gesetzliche Regelung. Arztzeugnisse sind strafrechtlich relevante Urkunden. Allerdings handelt es sich nur um einen...

Haftung für Unterschriften im Namen der Gesellschaft

Es gehört zum Wesen von juristischen Personen, dass sie ihren Willen durch Organe oder bevollmächtigte Vertreter kundtun. Dazu sind Unterschriften unerlässlich. Nicht immer ist jedoch klar, wer in welchem Umfang Unterschriften leisten darf. Es erstaunt daher nicht, dass es in der Praxis relativ oft zu Auseinandersetzungen darüber kommt, ob eine Unterschrift rechtsgültig geleistet...

Arbitrating Labour Law Disputes in Switzerland

Long regarded as against nature, the relationship between arbitration and labor law has generated a growing interest in recent years, with the realization that arbitration can be an effective tool for the resolution of individual employment disputes, especially for top-level managers or international athletes. The Swiss system broadly recognizes the arbitrability of individual...

Modeling client rate and volumes of non-maturing accounts

In this paper we develop models for the client rate and the volumes of non-maturing accounts. We test the hypothesis that movements in the client rate are dependent upon the market rates regime. We find that the responsiveness of the client rate is symmetric to changes in the short rate, but asymmetric to changes in the longer market rates. Furthermore, the speed of adjustment of the...

Corporate taxation, debt financing and foreign-plant ownership

This paper compares domestically and foreign-owned plants with respect to their debt-to-assets ratio and analyzes to which extent the difference is systematically affected by corporate taxation. To derive hypotheses about influence of corporate taxation on a firm's debt financing we adapt a standard model of taxation and financing decisions of firms for the case of international...

Extensive und intensive Investition und die Mehrbelastung der Gewinnsteuer

Um die Auswirkungen der Körperschaftssteuer (Gewinnsteuer) auf Investition und Standortattraktivität zu antizipieren, werden üblicherweise die effektiven Grenz- und Durchschnittssteuersätze berechnet. Dieser Beitrag stellt ein Modell monopolistischer
Konkurrenz vor und zeigt, wie die extensiven und intensiven Investitionen auf Änderungen in der effektiven Grenz- und...

Public Policy, Venture Capital and Entrepreneurial Finance

Venture capital has become an important source of financing young entrepreneurial firms. Venture capital backed firms are often perceived as more innovative and as creating more value than others. Perhaps for this reason, policy makers are keen to create a good institutional framework to facilitate the development of an active venture capital industry. We explore the role of tax...

Performance and Governance of Swiss Pension Funds

We investigate the relationship between pension fund governance and investment performance. For this purpose, we develop the Swiss Pension Fund Governance Index (SPGI) which is a standard metric for the governance quality of Swiss pension funds. The empirical analysis is based on a sample of 96 pension funds with total assets of more than CHF 190 billion. We find evidence for...

Zur Vorteilhaftigkeit von Financial Covenants : Auswirkungen auf Kreditrisiko und Unternehmenswert

Financial Covenants sind Zusatzkonditionen im Kreditvertrag, die in einer kraftvollen Ausgestaltung so weit gehen können, dass Fremdkapitalgeber
in einem Financial Distress die Geschäftspolitik der Unternehmung derart ändern können, dass fortan allein die Einbringlichkeit ihrer Forderungen bezweckt wird. Damit verschlechtert sich die Position der Eigenkapitalgeber, doch als...

Direkte Demokratie und Menschenrechte

There is a basic tension between the principle of democracy and the rule of law. This becomes obvious whenever the Swiss citizens accept an initiative that is incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights. First, we discuss the traditions behind these two principles before we survey the empirical papers about the relation between direct democracy and minority rights in...
