Real Estate Risk in Equity Returns
Gaston Michel investigates whether shocks to real estate markets constitute an important source of the risk that is priced in the cross section of equity returns. His results document that real estate risk explains a large part of the cross-sectional variation in equity returns. He shows that an alternative modeI which includes the real estate factor performs as well as or better than the Fama-French model in pricing equity returns.
Selected Essays in Empirical Asset Pricing
Christian Funke aims at developing a better understanding of a central asset pricing issue: the stock price discovery process in capital markets. Using U.S. capital market data, he investigates the importance of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) for stock prices and examines economic links between customer and supplier firms. The empirical investigations document return predictability and show that capital markets are not perfectly efficient.
Short Selling Activities and Convertible Bond Arbitrage
Sebastian Werner examines aggregate short sales and convertible bond arbitrage, which is a typical hedge fund strategy that involves a significant short position in the underlying stock of a long convertible bond position for hedging purposes. He provides insightful and new observations of the significant difference in the trading pattern, information content and resulting impact on stock returns of arbitrage- versus valuation-based short selling activities.
The Use of Hybrid Securities
Benjamin Kleidt analyzes why firms decide to issue hybrid securities. He provides insights into the financing behaviour of issuing firms with regard to operating and stock price performance prior and subsequent to hybrid security issues and shows that issuance motives for the use of different forms of hybrid securities are as diverse as available structures for this asset class.

We observe their actual current behavior at financial markets and try to assess whether existing theoretical arguments and assumptions are still valid in the world today, or the newly available rich data samples provide new answers to old questions that researchers have not been able to answer before.

Die Performance von Privatisierungen am Kapitalmarkt
Martin Alexander Ahnefeld untersucht in drei empirischen Untersuchungen die langfristige Aktienkursperformance, das Risiko und die Ertragserwartungen von Finanzanalysten bei Privatisierungen am Kapitalmarkt und zeigt eine positive langfristige abnormale Aktienkursperformance auf. Diese lässt sich vor allem durch den Anstieg des Risikos und durch relativ pessimistische Ertragserwartungen erklären.
Mergers & Acquisitions in der Automobilzulieferindustrie
Anhand einer Stichprobe von mehr als 200 zwischen 1981 und 2004 durchführten Transaktionen untersucht Markus Mentz die Auswirkungen von horizontalen Unternehmenszusammenschlüssen in der Automobilzulieferindustrie auf die Aktienkurse von Käufer- und Zielunternehmen, Wettbewerbern und Abnehmern. Es wird dabei im Wesentlichen deutlich, dass sich die Zusammenschlüsse auf Käuferunternehmen positiv, auf Wettbewerber und Abnehmer jedoch negativ auswirken. Letzteres steht im Kontrast zu den Ergebnissen der wenigen empirischen Studien, die sich dieser Thematik bisher angenommen haben.
