The cost of market power in banking: Social welfare loss vs. cost inefficiency
2007
Abstract This paper analyses the relationship between market power in the loan and deposit markets and efficiency in the EU-15 countries over 1993–2002. Results show the existence of a positive relationship between market power and cost X-efficiency, allowing rejection of the so-called quiet life hypothesis [Berger, A.N., Hannan, T.H., 1998. The efficiency cost of market power in the banking industry: A test of the ‘quiet life’ and related hypotheses. Review of Economics and Statistics 8 (3), 454–465]. The social welfare loss attributable to market power in 2002 represented 0.54% of the GDP of the EU-15. Results show that the welfare gains associated with a reduction of market power are gre…
Cross-country comparisons of competition and pricing power in European banking
2009
Abstract Studies of banking competition and competitive behavior both within and across countries typically utilise only one of the few measures that are available. In trying to assess the relative competitive position of banking markets in 14 European countries, existing indicators of competition are found to give conflicting predictions across countries, within countries, and over time. This is because indicators of competition tend to measure different things and are additionally influenced by cross-country differences in cost efficiency, fee income levels, real economic growth and inflation. We attempt to separate bank pricing power from these embodied influences and derive more consist…

Alt vil være, som det var før. Krisediskurs og utopi i Ben Lerners 10:04
2020
Sammendrag Krisenarrativer er et centralt emne i Ben Lerners anden roman, 10:04 (2014). Romanen, som indledes og afsluttes med en storm, undersøger de konsekvenser og forventninger, der er forbundet med at udnævne en bestemt hændelse eller tid til at være en krise, hvad enten begivenheden er opstået som følge af naturen, økonomien eller individuelle årsager. Antropologen Janet Roitman har beskrevet, hvordan krisenarrativer definerer og former vores forståelse af verden og på denne måde begrænser vores muligheder for at forandre verden. I 10:04 forsøger Lerner, i efterdønningerne af den finansielle krise i 2007-09, at undersøge, hvordan krisens rammeværk påvirker vores forståelse af verden, …

Revisiting the quiet life hypothesis in banking using nonparametric techniques
2014
Early studies testing the quiet life hypothesis in banking found strong evidence that banks in more concentrated markets exhibit lower cost efficiency levels. More recent studies have reexamined the issue in different contexts, with mixed results. These approaches are based on stipulating a linear re- lationship between market power and efficiency in banking, which might be problematic, as suggested by the literature on efficiency analysis. We explore how bank cost efficiency measures are related to market power using flexible techniques, which are more consistent with those employed to measure efficiency in the first stage of the analysis. Our study focuses on the Spanish banking industry,…
Epäkerrottu ja vastakerronta Ben Lernerin romaanissa 10:04
2017
Tutkielman tavoitteena on analysoida henkilökertojan sisäisen maailman esittämistä yhdysvaltalaisen Ben Lernerin romaanissa 10:04 (2014) Gerald Princen epäkerrotun (engl. disnarrated) ja Brian Richardsonin vastakerronnan (engl. denarration) käsitteiden pohjalta. Narratologiassa epäkerrotun käsitteellä tarkoitetaan sellaisia kerrottuja tapahtumia, jotka eivät toteudu kertomuksen tarinamaailmassa, mutta ovat siellä kuitenkin mahdollisia. Vastakerronnalla viitataan puolestaan kerronnan tilanteisiin, joissa kiistetään tai perutaan kertomuksen elementtejä, jotka on siihen asti esitetty tarinamaailmaan kuuluvina. Tässä tutkielmassa epäkerrottua ja vastakerrontaa käsitellään erityisesti henkilöker…
Lernen ohne Lehrbuch im DaF-Unterricht : Initiierung eines Pilotprojekts in zwei mittelfinnischen Grundschulen
2012
Das Lernen des Deutschen in der Schule hat nicht nur in ganz Finnland, sondern auch in der Stadt Jyväskylä drastisch abgenommen. Um dieser Tendenz entgegenzuwirken, wurde Anfang 2010 in Jyväskylä ein nationales Pilotprojekt initiiert, das vom finnischen Zentralamt für Unterrichtswesen finanziert wurde. Zu den Zielen des Projekts gehörten die Entwicklung und Erforschung von Didaktik und Methodik im schulischen Fremdsprachenunterricht sowie des Fremdsprachenerwerbs des Deutschen. Speziell sollte der Einfluss authentischer Lehrmaterialien und authentischen Lernens auf die Motivation und Handlungsfähigkeit von A2-Lernenden untersucht werden. In Jyväskylä lernten ab Herbst 2010 in einem zweijähr…
Factors explaining the interest margin in the banking sectors of the European Union
2003
Abstract This study analyses the interest margin in the principal European banking sectors (Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain) in the period 1993–2000 using a panel of 15,888 observations, identifying the fundamental elements affecting this margin. Our starting point is the methodology developed in the original study by Ho and Saunders [Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis XVI (1981) 581–600] and later extensions, but widened to take banks' operating costs explicitly into account. Also, unlike the usual practice in the literature, a direct measure of the degree of competition (Lerner index) in the different markets is used. The results show that the fall of marg…
The state-of-the-art of collaborative technologies for initial vocational education : a systematic literature review
2018

 
 
 Future workplaces require collaboration skills in which members of different work communities use technologies to solve complex problems. Vocational education and training (VET) programs need to meet the challenge to prepare students to be part of a competent workforce. Particularly initial vocational education is under pressure to develop learners’ collaboration skills and abilities. To date, however, no attempt has been made to perform a comprehensive review of the use of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) technologies across different vocational education settings to account for contextual factors of VET. In this systematic review, 26 published studies …
