Identity and image dynamics – managing social exclusion in profitable way
(Publishing House of the University of Economics, 2015)
The above statement has long been established as the canonical view of economic reality, and it has only been a couple of years since we thoroughly started to contest and debate this world-view. Grasping this, we focus on two aspects about the above perception in detail: First, a suggestion to redefine the term ‘market’ in a more up-to-date fashion, second, the debunking of the suspicious correlation between ‘no money to spend’ and ‘no money to be made’.

Normative and cognitive influences on female entrepreneurial reluctance at the base of the pyramid - an explorative study of cleaning ladies in Istanbul
(COMSATS, Inst. of Information Technology, 2013)
Previous research has considered entrepreneurship as a way out of poverty and as a chance to foster economic growth. Moreover, specifically start-ups headed by women have played an important role in the economic development and it has been argued that gender-related issues, amongst others, play a significant role for the performance of a country or region. Against this background, this qualitative study explores desires, reluctances and constraints toward entrepreneurial activities of a comparably homogenous group ...

In the former case, as described by the New Keynesian Phillips curve, the central bank can immediately and simultaneously achieve price stability and equilibrium output, the so-called ...

Technisch quantitative Investmentstrategien
(2012-08-17)
Spätestens seit der Formulierung der modernen Portfoliotheorie durch Harry Markowitz (1952) wird den aktiven Portfoliomanagementstrategien besondere Aufmerksamkeit in Wissenschaft und Anlagepraxis gewidmet. Diese Arbeit ist im Schnittstellenbereich zwischen neoklassischer Kapitalmarkttheorie und technischer Analyse angesiedelt. Es wird untersucht, inwieweit eine passive Buy&Hold-Strategie, die als einzige im Einklang mit der Effizienzmarkthypothese nach Fama (1970) steht, durch Verwendung von aktiven Strategien ...
