Main legal provi- sions are described in theoretical remarks with focus on constitution of supervisory bodies of pub- lic service broadcasters. Ways and cases of political interventions are discussed there. The funding of public service broadcasters is depicted. Some recent developments are presented, related to the so-called "three step test" for new or changed online offerings of public service broadcasters. The German public service broadcasting sector is evaluated and visualized by means of the para- digm.

In a theoretical model of an internationally fragmented digital good's production process, we show that fairness considerations of tax authorities (namely inequity aversion) can result in a falling apart between a perceived "fair" and arm's length distribution of profits across tax jurisdictions. Our model predicts that a multinational firm follows the fundamental paradigm of international taxation, i.e. the arm's length principle, to properly incentivize internal agents involved in the production of a digital good. However, with inequity averse tax authorities, we find that tax authorities "prefer" a more equal distribution of profits compared to the arm's length allocation. From a multinational firm's perspective, inequity aversion among tax authorities dampens the strategic effect to - in accordance with arm's length principle - shift profits to low tax countries.}, language = {en} } @techreport{GreilSchwarzStein2018, author = {Greil, Stefan and Schwarz, Christian and Stein, Stefan}, title = {Perceived Fairness in the Taxation of a Digital Business Model}, editor = {Kalmring, Dirk}, address = {D{\"u}sseldorf}, issn = {2365-3361}, doi = {10.20385/2365-3361/2018.47}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-15759}, pages = {27}, year = {2018}, abstract = {The "fair" taxation of digital business models is challenging. One of the key aspects - both policy makers and the public opinion consider as most pressuring - is the determination of intragroup transfer prices for intangibles used in digital business models. In this paper, we address the issue of a "perceived fair" taxation of the digital economy in the light of the arm's length principle based on a survey with transfer pricing experts. The aim of the survey is not to estimate arm's length profit allocations but rather to elicit fairness considerations in different transfer pricing related scenarios. In a digital economy framework where arm's length profits are distributed extremely inequitably, subjects perceive this distribution of profits as most unfair compared to more balanced scenarios. Consequently, subjects propose a "fair" distribution of profits that substantially differs from the exogenously given arm's length allocation. In scenarios with a more balanced arm's length allocation of profits, we find that the perceived fairness for the expert groups increases while a control group of business students is almost not influenced by the arm's length allocation of profits.}, language = {en} } @techreport{Bleuel2009, author = {Bleuel, Hans-Hubertus}, title = {The German banking system and the global financial crisis: causes, developments and policy responses}, number = {8}, editor = {Kalmring, Dirk}, address = {D{\"u}sseldorf}, organization = {Fachhochschule D{\"u}sseldorf}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-5116}, year = {2009}, abstract = {Germany's banking sector has been severely hit by the global financial crisis.

Based on a unique dataset of commercially oriented online media offerings (Longitudinal IntermediaPlus 2014-2016), an analysis for three Long Tail characteristics (variety increase, opposing concentration between hit and niche offerings and niche market share increase) is conducted. By additionally distinguishing between political and entertainment-oriented information offerings as boundaries of democratized online market conditions the analysis reveals that the Long Tail theory is not fully applicable to any market sample, and especially not to politically oriented offerings.}, language = {en} } @article{Gerhards2017, author = {Gerhards, Claudia}, title = {Product placement on YouTube: An explorative study on YouTube creators' experiences with advertisers}, series = {Convergence: The International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies}, volume = {25}, journal = {Convergence: The International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies}, number = {3}, publisher = {SAGE Publications}, issn = {1354-8565}, doi = {10.1177/1354856517736977}, pages = {516 -- 533}, year = {2017}, abstract = {During its process of diffusion, YouTube has become increasingly attractive for advertisers, not only in terms of classical commercials (like pre-roll ads) but also in terms of product placement opportunities.

Politics, however, is not only conveyed via traditional sources of information, but via fictional sources. In particular, political dramas (e. g., The West Wing, Borgen) enjoy great popularity and are often acknowledged for their realistic depiction of politics. Still, little is known about the democratic quality of such fictional depictions. This paper aims to fill the gap by contrasting the depiction of politics in the fictional TV series Borgen with political reporting in a traditional TV magazine (Berlin direkt). The comparative content analysis is based on ten issues that are covered in both formats and focuses on the quality criteria of relevance, pluralism, and democratic discourse norms. Findings show no significant differences between Borgen and Berlin direkt for any of the three criteria, clearly indicating that fictional TV series can offer the same content quality as political reporting.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Jandura, author = {Jandura, Olaf}, title = {Der digitale Strukturwandel aus zeitgeographischer Perspektive}, series = {Digitaler Strukturwandel der {\"O}ffentlichkeit}, booktitle = {Digitaler Strukturwandel der {\"O}ffentlichkeit}, editor = {Eisenegger, Mark and Prinzing, Marlis and Ettinger, Patrik and Blum, Roger}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, address = {Wiesbaden}, isbn = {978-3-658-32132-1}, pages = {239 -- 253}, language = {en} }
