Greening of the tax code
(2023)
This thesis examines the impact of green fiscal policies, specifically environmental taxes, on firms' decision-making and competitiveness. It aims to contribute to the taxation and financial policy literature by analyzing the influence of environmental taxes on corporate investment decisions and the distribution of the economic burden, the effect on corporate emission levels, and the shift in competitive market dynamics due to a green VAT. The findings suggest that standalone environmental taxes may not be the first best option, but their effectiveness can be improved through combining them with additional policy measures to foster firms' innovativeness. The thesis also shows that the adjustment of traditional forms of taxation, such as the VAT, can promote sector growth. The thesis thereby provides a more nuanced view on the economic consequences of environmental taxes.
External investors
(2023)
Within this doctoral dissertation, I explore external investments in family firms. In particular, this dissertation comprises three independent studies to contribute to and extend current literature regarding family firms and external investors. The first study extends research on external investments in family firms by fundamentally analyzing the decision criteria of family firm owner-managers for using external minority investments, thus representing a first interim step of external succession. The second study changes the point of view and contributes by analyzing the drivers of financial investors’ preference for acquiring a family firm. The third study analyzes drivers resulting in financial investors’ successful or unsuccessful acquisition of family firms.
Airport slot allocation
(2023)
This dissertation addresses the concept of airport slot allocation as a major regulatory directive in air transport management. In three sequential parts, today’s slot allocation procedure, addressing the assignment of time windows for departure and landing operations at coordinated airports, is being assessed and critically evaluated. The three sections evolve from the evaluation and revision of a suitable criteria set to the development and implementation of a network solution. As a key feature, a carbon emissions price including the air carriers’ CO2 emissions is being provided, serving as the allocation principle. In all three parts, explicit reference to the IATA Worldwide Slot Guidelines, representing today’s regulatory framework, is being provided, highlighting explicit deficits and drawbacks of that solution. In the first part, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), as a concept of decision making based on a comparison of criteria and alternatives, is being applied guiding the allocation decision at a single airport. In this section, a set of multiple criteria is being proposed and weighted according a set of slot coordinators’ preferences. As a key feature, the concept of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is being extended by the conduction of a Pairwise Comparison-based Preference Measurement (PCPM) representing one stage of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). In part two, the perspective of the dissertation changes from a single-point to a multiple-point allocation environment. In this part, a model is being provided that includes the allocation of slots in an airport network. As a key feature, slots are being allocated such that the two complementary cost functions are being minimized. On one hand, the developed carbon cost function includes the minimization of the carbon footprint per traveling passenger. On the other hand, the developed handling cost function is being minimized incorporating a dedicated airport perspective to the solution. In part three, the proposed model is being further extended by the incorporation of a third directive, the minimization of connection cost, related to the application of solution in a hub-and-spoke network. As a result, the study demonstrates how slot allocation can be conducted efficiently in an airport network, and how the consideration of the carbon footprint per traveling passenger serves to calculate the allocation optimum.
