Policymakers have become increasingly concerned in recent years about the possibility of future maritime terrorist attacks. Though the historical occurrence of such attacks has been limited, recognition that maritime vessels and facilities may be particularly vulnerable to terrorism has galvanized concerns. In addition, some plausible maritime attacks could have very significant consequences, in the form of mass casualties, severe property damage, and attendant disruption of commerce. Understanding the nature of maritime terrorism risk requires an investigation of threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences associated with potential attacks, as grounded both by relevant historical data and by intelligence on the capabilities and intentions of known terrorist groups. These risks also provide the context for understanding government institutions that will respond to future attacks, and particularly so with regard to the US civil justice system. In principle, civil liability operates to redistribute the harms associated with legally redressable claims, so that related costs are borne by the parties responsible for having caused them. In connection with maritime terrorism, civil liability creates that prospect that independent commercial defendants will be held responsible for damages caused by terrorist attacks. This book explores risks and U.S. civil liability rules as they may apply in the context of these types of attacks

"In recent years several cases concerning the liability of directors and officers have courted controversy. Arguments raised in such discussions oscillate between two extremes: on the one hand, the need for governing bodies to give a space to entrepreneurial discretion and on the other hand to ensure the protection of investors in and creditors of a company from the consequences of disadvantageous decisions by those bodies. In light of the geographical dispersal of the above stakeholders, the study offers a comparative insight into the liability of directors and officers in 10 key European jurisdictions (in particular, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain and Switzerland) and 4 non-European jurisdictions (namely Brazil, Israel, Turkey and the United States). Amongst other things it investigates existing company law principles on the topic and examines their interaction with tort law and other fields with a view to suggesting principles for better stakeholder protection. National reports are complemented by an economic analysis and insurance, conflict of laws and comparative reports. The study also benefits from case study analyses"--

Aktive und quantitative Banksteuerung wird vor dem Hintergrund sinkender Margen und zunehmender Marktvolatilitäten immer wichtiger. Während das Instrumentarium zur Messung von Wert, Ertrag und Risiko auch mit Blick auf Softwarelösungen vielfältig ist, sind quantitative Methoden zur Findung der richtigen Steuerungsmaßnahmen bisher vernachlässigt worden. Die Mehrzahl der in der Praxis eingesetzten Techniken sind konzeptionell sehr einfach und ignorieren wichtige dynamische Elemente des Portfoliomanagements. Die Studie von Michael Hänselmann (Universität Ulm) setzt an diesem Punkt an. In einer kurzen Einführung werden die Aufgaben und Anforderungen skizziert, die ein Asset-Liability Management Modell idealerweise erfüllen sollte. Das Problem wird mit Hilfe eines mehrstufigen stochastischen Entscheidungsmodells dargestellt, wobei die zukünftigen Szenarien aus dem Ho/Lee-Zinsstrukturmodell generiert werden. Im Zentrum der Arbeit werden drei Lösungsansätze vorgeschlagen, wobei neben der klassischen linearen Optimierung ein Aggregationsalgorithmus, der das Größenwachstum der Szenarienbäume reduziert, und ein Genetischer Algorithmus zur Anwendung kommen. An einer konkreten Modellbank wird gezeigt wie die Lösungsansätze mittels eigener C-Programme umgesetzt werden können und wie sensitiv die optimale Lösung auf eine Veränderung wichtiger Steuerungsparameter reagiert.
