TY - GEN ED - Mottok, Jürgen ED - Ehrlich, Ingo ED - Haumer, Anton T1 - Regensburger Applied Research Conference 2020 (RARC 2020), July 31st BT - Proceedings N2 - The Applied Research Conference which is held every year at another University of Applied Sciences in Bavaria is the main event for all students in the Master of Applied Research program. They come together to present their work in oral presentations and full papers, which are published in the proceedings, as well as poster presentations of the students after their 1st semester. For sure it is interesting for Professors and interested people to see the results of upcoming scientists and researchers. Due to the Corona pandemic, this year it is not possible to organize the conference as usual in presence. We have to refrain from face-to-face discussions, having together a cup of coffee. We as Professors at the OTH Regensburg wanted to give our students the chance to finish this semester successfully – despite all limitations due to the pandemic situation. Therefore we decided to organize the RARC 2020 – Regensburg Applied Research Conference 2020 – for the Master of Applied Research students of OTH Regensburg as an online conference. However, for a Technical University the situation is rather a challenge than a problem. Using a variety of online tools for teaching during this semester, we have enough experience to find a setup for RARC2020. We received 28 submissions for full papers, which were peer reviewed and 26 of them were accepted – you will find them in this proceedings, and they will be presented orally on July 31st, 2020. Additionally, there are 22 posters which will be presented on the same day. During the Plenary Opening Session, after a welcome by our President Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Baier we will have 3 Keynote speakers: Prof. Dr. phil. habil. Karsten Weber: Erkenntnistheorie für Ingenieure Prof. em.

The key question in this respect is: What are the costs of such a proposal? We argue that the welfare costs of bypassing the zero lower bound can be dealt with analytically and empirically by assuming negative interest rates on cash holdings. Adopting a money-in-the-utility-function (MIU) model, we measure the welfare loss in terms of theamount needed to compensate consumers (compensated variation), and as excess burden (deadweight loss) imposed on the economy. Firstly, we gauge the welfare effects of abolishing cash, both, for the Euro area and for Germany, and we perform several robustness checks. Secondly, we broaden the analysis by taking into account the liquidity services of assets included in the monetary aggregates M1 and M3, and we contrast the results for the year 2015 with those for the pre-crisis period 2005. Our findings suggest that the welfare losses of negative interest rates incurred by consumers and society are large, notably if implemented in a low interest rate environment. Imposing a negative interest rate of 3 percent on cash holdings and reducing the interest on all assets included in M3 creates a deadweight loss of € 62bn for euro area and of €18bn for Germany. The annual compensation required by consumers in the euro area as well as in Germany is equivalent to 2.2 percent of GDP or about €700 per capita. Thus, stepping into deep negative interest rates turns out to be a very costly economic experiment, leaving aside the potential risks and negative side effects of protracted and intensified unconventional monetary policy.

In der folgenden Arbeit wird ein Konzept entwickelt und getestet, das auf Basis einer Bottom-up-Modellierung Nowcasting-Prognosen für das deutsche Bruttoinlandsprodukt ermöglicht. Hierbei bringt es mit der verwendeten Kombination von Modellen einen neuen Ansatz in die aktuelle Literatur des Nowcasting für das deutsche Bruttoinlandsprodukt ein. Durch die diversifizierte Vorhersage der einzelnen Komponenten ist neben einer verbesserten Prognosegüte ebenfalls eine dezidierte Interpretation des wirtschaftlichen Geschehens möglich. Das vorgestellte Prognosemodell zeigt in einem Pseudo Out of Sample Test eine gute Prognoseleistung im Vergleich zu Benchmark-Modellen und kann insbesondere in Krisenzeiten mit geringen Prognosefehlern überzeugen.

N2 - This article analyzes what drives companies to implement sustainable practices in business. A description of how sustainability affects business shall give an exemplified picture of sustainable corporate behavior. The term ‘sustainability’ is described. The approach of the three dimensions of sustainability shall serve as a basic understanding to evaluate the possibilities of an implementation of sustainability in business. The concepts of environmental management, sustainable management and Corporate Social Responsibility are described. The meaning of the driver ‘ethical responsibility’ in business is analyzed as a framework for Corporate Social Responsibility. This can be implemented in business through a code of ethics, for example. Studies and current findings confirm that Corporate Social Responsibility has become an evolving trend and is of growing importance in business today. Conclusively, the driver ‘ethical responsibility’ was found to motivate companies towards sustainable business practices.

Consequently, the need for German Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to perform a digital transformation, which implies the creation of a new business model through sophisticated technologies, is gaining significance for succeeding in the digital age. While most German SMEs have already accomplished a digitization of their collaboration and communication,a profound digital transformation is still imminent for the majority. Based on the investigation of existing literature on the subject, this paper demonstrates the suitability of design thinking methods to develop strategic thrust for a digital transformation. The key potential of design thinking is rooted in its ability to creatively solve problems and reinforce skills needed to address dynamic environments. An exemplary result of using design thinking to develop strategic thrust is presented with the fictional business model GreenCube. The concept aims to assist German SMEs in performing a digital transformation by simplifying the incorporation of sophisticated digital technologies and providing opportunities for networking and thus integrating into an ecosystem. Despite their potential, design thinking activities involve several challenges including the incongruence of pre-defined specifications and designed concepts, the gap between a focus on time-reduction and a focus on experimentation, and the lack of measurability of design thinking gains. Nevertheless, the nature of businesses’internal and external environment is becoming ever more fast-paced, making the ability to manage change increasingly critical for German SMEs to establish competitive advantage.

Hierunterscheiden wir zwischen drei verschiedenen Typen von Krisen (technologische Krisen, Finanzmarktkrisen, Naturkatastrophen) und untersuchen jeweils die krisenbedingte Nachfrage nach großen und kleinen Denominationen von Banknotenseit 1990. Dabei zeigt sich als generelles Krisen-Charakteristikum, dassin derartigenunsicheren Zeiten die Bargeldnachfrage unabhängig von der speziellen Art der Krise immer ansteigt. Dahinterstehen sowohl Transaktions - als auch Hortungsmotive. Die völlig elastische Befriedigung dieser Nachfrage durch die Zentralbanken hilft die jeweilige Situation zu beruhigen und die Unsicherheit zu reduzieren. Vor diesem Hintergrund sind Forderungen nach der Abschaffung von Bargeld äußerst kritisch zu sehen.

Does population aging harm economic growth? We exploit process-generated data from a large and typical service-sector company. We find no decline in average productivity in the age range of 20-60. This result is precisely measured. Our innovative identification strategy corrects for sample selection, endogeneity of age composition and age-cohort confounding. Our big data are essential to extract the signal from the noise that has marred many previous studies. While average productivity stays flat, we find variation according to task complexity. Productivity increases with age in teams with more demanding tasks and decreases in routine tasks.
