Gender diversity in the field of communication in DACH countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) : a scientometric analysis of the scientific job market, publications, citations, and grants
No full textIn the DACH (i.e., Germany, Austria, Switzerland) communication associations, women comprise half of the membership and can consequently express their interests in academic research, jobs, and publishing. But how does gender diversity in the DACH countries unfold across the job market, publications, citations, and grants? We present three studies to address this question. In Study 1, we observed the websites of communication departments in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland and content-analyzed the job titles of men and women working at N = 164 institutions. The data revealed that 43% of DACH professors were female. In Study 2, we ran an automatic content analysis to analyze how many publications in the DACH countries versus other countries were authored by men and women between 2000 and 2022 in 90 communication journals and whether authors from the two genders were cited proportionally. We found that women authored 53% of the articles in the 90 communication journals, whereas only 37% of the articles they authored were cited. In Study 3, we applied desktop research to analyze the diversity of grants that were awarded to DACH communication scholars. Women made up between 35% (German Research Foundation) and 43% (Swiss National Science Foundation) of principal investigators that were awarded funds by national funding organizations. We discuss the impact of current practices and suggest some new measures for increasing gender diversity by addressing issues of transparency, recognition, and inclusivity in communication.
In den kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Fachgesellschaften des DACH-Raums (Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz) sind die Hälfte der Mitglieder Frauen. Aber wie steht es um die Geschlechterdiversität in den DACH-Ländern auf dem akademischen Arbeitsmarkt, bei Veröffentlichungen, Zitationen und Stipendien? Wir präsentieren drei Studien, um diese Forschungsfragen zu beantworten. In Studie 1 analysierten wir anhand der Websites von N = 164 kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Institutionen in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz die Berufsbezeichnungen von Männern und Frauen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass 43 % der Professuren in der DACH-Region von Frauen besetzt sind. In Studie 2 haben wir mit einer automatisierten Inhaltsanalyse untersucht, wie viele Veröffentlichungen in den DACH-Ländern im Vergleich zu anderen Ländern zwischen den Jahren 2000 und 2022 in 90 kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Fachzeitschriften von Männern und Frauen verfasst wurden und ob Autor:innen entsprechend dieses Anteils zitiert wurden. Das Ergebnis ist, dass Frauen 53 % der Artikel in den 90 kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Zeitschriften verfassten, während nur 37 % der von ihnen verfassten Artikel zitiert wurden. In Studie 3 analysierten wir die Vergabe von Drittmitteln an Kommunikationswissenschaftler:innen im DACH-Raum. Der Frauenanteil an von nationalen Förderorganisationen geförderten Forscher:innen lag zwischen 35 % (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) und 43 % (Schweizerischer Nationalfonds). Wir diskutieren die Ergebnisse und schlagen Maßnahmen zur Steigerung der Geschlechterdiversität vor, die Transparenz, Anerkennung und Inklusivität in der Kommunikationswissenschaft betreffen
Three essays on corporate loans
No full text1. Dual holdings and shareholder-creditor agency conflicts: Evidence from the syndicated loan market
We examine implications from the expansion of private equity (PE) firms into the CLO (i.e. leveraged lending) business. Due to similarities in the investment universes of CLO managers and PE firms, asset management groups running both of them frequently hold debt and equity claims of the same company. Our results indicate lower credit costs for these companies through mitigation of shareholder-creditor agency conflicts. The lower funding costs imply increased equity returns for the sponsoring PE firms. In addition, our findings suggest that PE-affiliated CLO managers benefit from informed trading in the secondary leveraged loan market.
2. Affiliated investment bias in collateralized loan obligations
Collateralized loan obligation (CLO) managers are often part of asset management groups that also operate private equity (PE) firms. This paper examines whether these CLO managers exhibit a bias towards loans to companies sponsored by their affiliated PE firms. We find that CLO managers overweight these affiliated investments in their portfolios. Purchase level analyses reveal that the positive relationship between affiliation and investment is highly concentrated in primary market trades. Evidence suggests that the affiliated investment bias is partially explained by group-level incentives to support the funding of the PE firm’s portfolio companies. Moreover, preferential allocations by loan arrangers contribute to the observed bias.
3. Revisions to the Basel securitization framework and their impact on CLOs
In December 2017, the European regulation on capital requirements for securitizations was comprehensively revised. This paper examines the impact of these revisions on collateralized loan obligations (CLOs). A comparison of the results of risk weight calculations for a typical CLO under the previous and revised frameworks shows an overall increase in capital requirements. The increase is particularly pronounced under the new standardized approach (SEC-SA). However, difference-in-difference analyses of credit spreads indicate no effect of the higher capital requirements on the interest rates of CLO tranches. These results suggest that the cost of regulatory capital requirements for banks is limite

Prony’s Method in Banach Modules
No full textWe show that the classical Prony’s method for recovery of a sparse signal from its consecutive Fourier coefficients can be viewed as a spectral identification problem for an unknown restriction of a known linear operator. This presents a unified point of view on various existing and novel generalizations and applications of the method, some of which are discussed in this paper
