This paper investigates the extent to which corporate governance affects the cost of debt and equity capital of German exchange-listed companies. I examine corporate governance along three dimensions: financial information quality, ownership structure and board structure. The results suggest that firms with high levels of financial transparency and bonus compensations face lower cost of equity. In addition, block ownership is negatively related to firms' cost of equity when the blockholders are other firms, managers or founding-family members. Consistent with the conjecture that agency costs increase with firm size, I find significant cost of debt effects only in the largest German companies. Here, the creditors demand lower cost of debt from firms with block ownerships held by corporations or banks. My findings demonstrate that a uniform set of governance attributes is unlikely to satisfy suppliers of debt and equity capital equally.

Kurzarbeit war und ist eines der wesentlichen Elemente der Unternehmen, um dem durch die Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise begründeten Arbeitskräfteüberhang begegnen zu können. Laut statistischer Mitteilung der Bundesagentur für Arbeit waren im Mai 2009 ca. 1,52 Mio. Arbeitnehmer in Kurzarbeit, im März 2010 waren es immer noch 830.000 Arbeitnehmer, die Kurzarbeitergeld bezogen haben. Bis Ende 2010 können Arbeitgeber Kurzarbeit noch für die verlängerte Höchstbezugsdauer von bis zu 18 Monaten beantragen. Zudem hat der Bundestag am 8.7.2010 eine nochmalige Verlängerung der Erstattung der Sozialversicherungsbeiträge bis März 2012 verabschiedet. Trotzdem müssen zahlreiche Arbeitgeber inzwischen feststellen, dass sie allein mit dem Mittel der Kurzarbeit nicht um einen Personalabbau herumkommen. Dies gilt insbesondere für diejenigen Unternehmen, die gleich zu Beginn der Krise im Herbst 2008 Kurzarbeit eingeführt haben und bei denen deshalb die damals noch geltende 24-monatige Höchstbezugsdauer im Herbst 2010 auslaufen wird

Knowledge-based productivity in “low-tech” industries: evidence from firms in developing countries
(2014)
Using firm-level data from five developing countries—Brazil, Ecuador, South Africa, Tanzania, and Bangladesh—and three industries—food processing, textiles, and the garments and leather products—this article examines the importance of various sources of knowledge for explaining productivity and formally tests whether sector- or country-specific characteristics dominate these relationships. Knowledge sources driving productivity appear mainly sector specific. Also differences in the level of development affect the effectiveness of knowledge sources. In the food processing sector, firms with higher educated managers are more productive, and in least-developed countries, additionally those with technology licenses and imported machinery and equipment. In the capital-intensive textiles sector, productivity is higher in firms that conduct R&D. In the garments and leather products sector, higher education of the managers, licensing, and R&D raise productivity.
Knowledge Management

Providing healthcare services frequently involves cognitively demanding tasks, including diagnoses and analyses as well as complex decisions about treatments and therapy. From a global perspective, ethically significant inequalities exist between regions where the expert knowledge required for these tasks is scarce or abundant. One possible strategy to diminish such inequalities and increase healthcare opportunities in expert-scarce settings is to provide healthcare solutions involving digital technologies that do not necessarily require the presence of a human expert, e.g., in the form of artificial intelligent decision-support systems (AI-DSS). Such algorithmic decision-making, however, is mostly developed in resource- and expert-abundant settings to support healthcare experts in their work. As a practical consequence, the normative standards and requirements for such algorithmic decision-making in healthcare require the technology to be at least as explainable as the decisions made by the experts themselves. The goal of providing healthcare in settings where resources and expertise are scarce might come with a normative pull to lower the normative standards of using digital technologies in order to provide at least some healthcare in the first place. We scrutinize this tendency to lower standards in particular settings from a normative perspective, distinguish between different types of absolute and relative, local and global standards of explainability, and conclude by defending an ambitious and practicable standard of local relative explainability.
