8. Negotiating with frictions 

   Britz, Volker (2019)

   We consider bilateral non-cooperative bargaining on the division of a surplus. Compared to the canonical bargaining game in the tradition of Rubinstein, we introduce additional sources of friction into the bargaining process: Implementation of an agreement and consumption of the surplus can only begin at discrete points in time, such as the first day of a month, quarter, or year. Bargaining rounds are of non-trivial length, so that ...

9. On Banking Regulation and Lobbying 

   Gersbach, Hans; Papageorgiou, Stylianos (2019)

   Economics Working Paper Series

   We study the political economy of bank capital regulation from a positive and normative perspective. In a general equilibrium setting, capital requirements and lobbying contributions are determined as the outcome of bargaining between banks and politicians. We show that bankers and politicians agree on lobbying contributions and capital regulation that renders banks fragile, reducing efficiency and fairness. Consideration of all general ...

    Britz, Volker; Ebrahimi, Afsoon; Gersbach, Hans (2018)

    Economics Working Paper Series

    We study how to efficiently motivate policy-makers to solve political multitask problems. Political multi-task problems typically have outcomes that are difficult to measure. Moreover, there are conflicts among citizens about optimal policies and the agents have the power to tax the citizens to invest in better outcomes of some tasks. We develop a political agency model with two tasks and only one measurable outcome. In such an ...

12. Forward-Invariance and Wong-Zakai Approximation for Stochastic Moving Boundary Problems 

    Keller-Ressel, Martin; Müller, Marvin S. (2018)

    We discuss a class of stochastic second-order PDEs in one space-dimension with an inner boundary moving according to a possibly non-linear, Stefan-type condition. We show that proper separation of phases is attained, i.e., the solution remains negative on one side and positive on the other side of the moving interface, when started with the appropriate initial conditions. To extend results from deterministic settings to the stochastic ...

    Ferrario, Andrea; Noll, Alexander; Wüthrich, Mario V. (2018)

    We provide a tutorial that illuminates the aspects which need to be considered when fitting neural network regression models to claims frequency data in insurance. We discuss feature pre-processing, choice of loss function, choice of neural network architecture, class imbalance problem, as well as over-fitting. This discussion is based on a publicly available real car insurance data set.

    Gygli, Savina; Hälg, Florian; Potrafke, Niklas; et al. (2018)

    CESifo Working Paper

    We introduce the revised version of the KOF Globalisation Index, a composite index measuring globalization for every country in the world along the economic, social and political dimension. The original index was introduced by Dreher (2006) and updated in Dreher et al. (2008). This second revision of the index distinguishes between de facto and de jure measures along the different dimensions of globalization. We also disentangle trade and ...

    Gersbach, Hans; Schetter, Ulrich; Schmassmann, Samuel (2018)

    We analyze public investment in basic research in a multi-country, multiindustry environment with international trade. In our economy, basic research generates ideas which private rms take up in applied research to develop new varieties. Such development requires industry-speci c know-how. A country's current specialization in international trade thus determines which ideas can be commercialized domestically. We demonstrate that the ...
