AENDERUNG
zum Betriebswirtschaftlichen Forschungsseminar des
Instituts fuer Betriebswirtschaftslehre der Universitaet Wien
Bruenner Strasse 72, 1210 Wien
Der Vortrag von Prof. Ron Giammarino (University of British Columbia)
am Dienstag, den 30.4.1996 um 15.30 im HS 8 des BWZ, lautet nicht wie
angekuendigt
,The Evolution of Firm Value and the Allocative Role of Greenmail",
sondern
,A Value Enhancing Role for Greenmail and Defensive Measures".
Abstract:
A popular view of corporate defensive measures, such as poison pills,
shareholders' rights plans and greenmail, is that they are evidence of
entrenched, self-interested management. Empirical evidence, such as
a target stock price decline subsequent to the payment of greenmail,
is cited as support for this view. Somewhat inconsistent with this
argument is the overwhelming rate of acceptance of such measures
by shareholders, with very little stock price reaction. We model an
informational role for greenmail and show that value-maximizing
management will pay greenmail that leads to a stock price decline.
Consistent with the empirical evidence, the decline exceeds the value
of the greenmail payment. Moreover, shareholders have an incentive
to impose a defensive measure, such as a poison pill, to limit takeover
attempts if the target stock price is too low or the raider has too high
an initial shareholding in the target.

Shapley hat 1964 ein 3x3 Spiel angegeben, bei dem der Fictitious Play
Prozess nicht zum Gleichgewicht konvergiert. Ich werde ein aehnliches,

----------------------------------
Complexity, or "Chaos Theory", has had a
significant impact
on the physical sciences, while evolutionary analysis has
spread its influence from biology to many fields of
endeavour. Recently, researchers in the disciplines of
economics, finance and marketing have begun to apply these
concepts, frequently generating results which are at odds
with those derived from traditional, "linear" methods.
This conference enabled leading researchers from the
academic and business communities
of Australia, Japan and
Europe to present their findings. The 25 formal papers
covered a large range of topics, ranging from philosophical
considerations, through nonlinear mathematical models of
firms and the economy, to the application of "evolutionary"
computer techniques to attempt to predict the course of the
stock exchange.
The papers for the conference were supplied to attendees in
a 2 volume set, totalling over 550 pages. Approxim
ately 20
copies of the set remain, and these are now available for
$A25 for Australian purchasers, and $US35 for overseas
purchasers (the difference covers the cost of surface mail
postage).

Asset Pricing with Time-dependent Covariances for German Stocks
Abstract:
This paper analyzes different specifications for dynamic asset pricing models.
The common characteristic is time variation in conditional expected returns,
variances and covariances. The sample in this study comprises monthly data
from the German stock market from 1963 to 1993. Motivation for dynamic asset
pricing models is given by the stylized facts on univariate time series of
asset returns and by subsample estimation of the risk-return relation.
Within a Sharpe-Lintner conditional Capital Asset Pricing Model we consider
different specifications of Multivariate AutoRegressive Conditional
Heteroscedasticity.
