Cli-ents who have not worked with a particular consultancy face considerable risk when they place an order while lacking reliable information about the service quality they can expect. There is a strong link between trust and reputation, as the positive reputation of a consultancy can act as a substitute for a new client’s missing individual experience with the provider, fostering trust in the service quali-ty. Thus, creating, maintaining, and demonstrating a good reputation is of signifi-cant importance for consultancies in a very competitive industry.\r\nTo facilitate trustworthy signals, we design and implement a novel reputation mechanism that carries a monetary weight stored on a blockchain network as an immutable, decentralized, and transparent ledger. Based on an implementation in the Ethereum network and subsequent evaluation, we conclude that the reputation mechanism can contribute to leveling information asymmetry and reducing risk while increasing reputation and trust. The mechanism lends itself to being used in other business-to-business scenarios that suffer from similar information asymmetries.","lang":"eng"}],"user_id":"83557","department":[{"_id":"195"}],"_id":"65310","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"extern":"1","keyword":["Reputation Systems","Consulting","Design Science Invention","Incentive","Blockchain","Monetary ratings","building trust","reduce information asymmetry consulting","B2B reputation system","consulting risk reduction","supplier evaluation system"],"publication_status":"published","publication_identifier":{"unknown":["978-3032173836"]},"quality_controlled":"1","citation":{"ama":"Hemmrich S, Nissen V.

Using a hand-collected dataset of more than 7,500 tax employees from 348 European-listed multinationals, we identify two types of firm-level costs associated with tax complexity—tax employees, and tax risk. We find that firms locate more tax employees in countries with greater tax complexity. This association is particularly pronounced for complexity in tax procedures. We also find that multinationals operating in countries with high tax complexity are associated with higher tax risk. The incremental tax risk vanishes for firms that locate more tax employees in countries with highly complex tax procedures, while we find no risk reduction from additional tax employees in countries with complex tax rules. Our results reveal that multinationals eliminate 25 percent of overall tax complexity-related tax risk through targeted location of tax employees.","lang":"eng"}],"status":"public"},{"publication":"ACM Transactions on Privacy and Security","abstract":[{"text":"<jats:p>Brainwaves have demonstrated to be unique enough across individuals to be useful as biometrics. They also provide promising advantages over traditional means of authentication, such as resistance to external observability, revocability, and intrinsic liveness detection. However, most of the research so far has been conducted with expensive, bulky, medical-grade helmets, which offer limited applicability for everyday usage. With the aim to bring brainwave authentication and its benefits closer to real world deployment, we investigate brain biometrics with consumer devices. We conduct a comprehensive measurement experiment and user study that compare five authentication tasks on a user sample up to 10 times larger than those from previous studies, introducing three novel techniques based on cognitive semantic processing. Furthermore, we apply our analysis on high-quality open brainwave data obtained with a medical-grade headset, to assess the differences. We investigate both the performance, security, and usability of the different options and use this evidence to elicit design and research recommendations. Our results show that it is possible to achieve Equal Error Rates as low as 7.2% (a reduction between 68–72% with respect to existing approaches) based on brain responses to images with current inexpensive technology. We show that the common practice of testing authentication systems only with known attacker data is unrealistic and may lead to overly optimistic evaluations. With regard to adoption, users call for simpler devices, faster authentication, and better privacy.</jats:p>\r\n          <jats:p />","lang":"eng"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"keyword":["Safety","Risk","Reliability and Quality","General Computer Science"],"issue":"3","year":"2023","date_created":"2023-10-14T12:11:55Z","publisher":"Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)","title":"Performance and Usability Evaluation of Brainwave Authentication Techniques with Consumer Devices","type":"journal_article","status":"public","user_id":"92804","_id":"48063","publication_status":"published","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2471-2566","2471-2574"]},"citation":{"chicago":"Arias-Cabarcos, Patricia, Matin Fallahi, Thilo Habrich, Karen Schulze, Christian Becker, and Thorsten Strufe. “Performance and Usability Evaluation of Brainwave Authentication Techniques with Consumer Devices.” <i>ACM Transactions on Privacy and Security</i> 26, no. 3 (2023): 1–36. <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1145/3579356\">https://doi.org/10.1145/3579356</a>.","ieee":"P.

Starting from the ideas of Abreu and Brunnermeier (Citation2003), a two-dimensional system of differential equations is developed. The first dynamic variable is the asset price growth rate. The second dynamic variable is the number of investors who believe that asset prices are abnormally high. In a phase plane analysis, I find both stable and unstable equilibria, depending on the spread of information and the response to other agents’ beliefs. If individuals try to increase their returns while perceiving more overpricing, these equilibria can be spirals or even approach limit cycles. Although I intend to study general price patterns, abnormally high asset prices can be caused by financial bubbles. In this model, bubbles can emerge and deflate both in cycles or directly, or they can grow until they burst. Further, I analyze market behavior after a central bank increases the interest rate. This can lead to new stable equilibria, but the emergence and bursting of bubbles cannot be prevented."}],"publication":"Cogent Economics & Finance","title":"A model of cycles and bubbles under heterogeneous beliefs in financial markets","date_created":"2023-11-28T14:31:12Z","publisher":"Informa UK Limited","year":"2023","issue":"2","department":[{"_id":"202"}],"user_id":"44010","_id":"49309","status":"public","type":"journal_article","doi":"10.1080/23322039.2023.2272485","volume":11,"author":[{"first_name":"Carina","last_name":"Burs","full_name":"Burs, Carina"}],"date_updated":"2023-11-28T14:34:50Z","intvolume":"        11","jel":["E44","E58","D83","C62","G12"],"citation":{"ieee":"C.

Trusted execution environments, such as Intel SGX enclaves, promise to provide a secure environment in which data can be decrypted and then processed. However, vulnerabilities in the executed program give attackers ample opportunities to execute arbitrary code inside the enclave. This code can modify the dataflow of the program and leak secrets via SGX side channels. Fully homomorphic encryption would be an alternative to compute on encrypted data without data leaks. However, due to its high computational complexity, its applicability to general-purpose computing remains limited. Researchers have made several proposals for transforming programs to perform encrypted computations on less powerful encryption schemes.

DFAuth prevents an adversary from arbitrarily deviating from the dataflow of a program. Our technique hence offers protections against the side-channel attacks described previously.

We use a sample of 4,058 small private firms operating in the period 2006‐2017 that are not subject to mandatory audits. Firms decide for a voluntary audit of financial statements either because the economic setting in which they operate effectively forces them to do so (e.g., ownership complexity, export‐oriented supply chain, subsidiary status) or because firm fundamentals and/or financial reporting practices limit their access to financial debt, both reflected in earnings quality. We use these factors to model the decision for voluntary audit. In the outcome analyses, we find robust evidence that voluntary audits are associated with higher, rather than lower, interest rate by up to 3.0 percentage points. This effect is present regardless of the perceived audit quality (Big‐4 vs. non‐Big‐4), but is stronger for non‐Big‐4 audits where auditees have a stronger position relative to auditors. Audited firms’ earnings are less informative about future operating performance relative to unaudited counterparts. We conclude that voluntary audits facilitate access to financial debt for firms with higher risk that may otherwise have no access to this form of financing. The price paid is reflected in higher interest rates charged to firms with voluntary audits – firms with higher information and/or fundamental risk."}],"type":"working_paper","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"keyword":["private firms","voluntary audit","cost of debt","self‐selection bias","risk"],"user_id":"88603","department":[{"_id":"635"},{"_id":"186"},{"_id":"551"}],"_id":"37136"},{"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"keyword":["Securitization","Credit risk transfer","Effective tax rates","European banking"],"article_type":"original","department":[{"_id":"19"}],"user_id":"36049","_id":"17522","status":"public","abstract":[{"text":"Employing a unique hand-collected sample of 956 credit risk securitization transactions issued by 64 stock-listed European banks across the EU-13 plus Switzerland over the period from 1997 to 2010, this paper empirically analyzes the impact of securitization on the issuing banks’ effective tax rates.

These baseline findings remain robust under various robustness checks, especially when implementing structural equation models and controlling for a reverse causality between the banks’ tax burden and their incentive to securitize.

We use a unique dataset that combines data on higher-order risk preferences and various measures of observed real-world prevention behavior. We find that prudent individuals indeed invest less in self-protection as measured by influenza vaccination. This result is driven by high risk individuals such as individuals >60 years of age or chronically ill.

As a baseline result, we initially find an increase in portfolio (downside) risk-diversification when adding CDS indices, which is observed irrespective of both CDS markets, investor-types and different sub-periods, including the global financial crisis and European sovereign debt crisis. In addition, the analysis reveals higher portfolio excess returns and performance in CDS index portfolios, however, these effects clearly differ between markets, investor-types and sub-periods. Overall, portfolio benefits of adding CDS indices mainly result from the fact that institutional investors replace sovereign bond indices rather than stock indices by CDS indices due to better risk-return characteristics. Our baseline findings remain robust under a variety of robustness checks. Results from sensitivity analyses provide further important implications for institutional investors with a strategic focus on a long-term conservative portfolio management.","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"Review of Derivatives Research ","type":"journal_article","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11147-018-9148-8","title":"Portfolio Benefits of Adding Corporate Credit Default Swap Indices: Evidence from North America and Europe","volume":22,"date_created":"2018-10-01T12:17:35Z","author":[{"full_name":"Hippert, Benjamin","id":"48476","last_name":"Hippert","first_name":"Benjamin"},{"first_name":"André","id":"36049","full_name":"Uhde, André","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8058-8857","last_name":"Uhde"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-7820-3903","last_name":"Wengerek","full_name":"Wengerek, Sascha Tobias","id":"48837","first_name":"Sascha Tobias"}],"date_updated":"2022-05-04T06:15:02Z","page":"203-259","intvolume":"        22","citation":{"chicago":"Hippert, Benjamin, André Uhde, and Sascha Tobias Wengerek. “Portfolio Benefits of Adding Corporate Credit Default Swap Indices: Evidence from North America and Europe.” <i>Review of Derivatives Research </i> 22, no. 2 (2019): 203–59. <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11147-018-9148-8\">https://doi.org/10.1007/s11147-018-9148-8</a>.","ieee":"B.
