Acknowledgements
I would like to thank my supervisor Prof. Dr. Andreas Gr¨ unbichler for accepting me as a doctoral student and for very fruitful discussions about the general outline of the study. His comments on preliminary versions of the working papers, and his urging me to update my schedule permanently, saved me a lot of time by setting the right priorities when working on different problems. Prof. Dr. Joachim Grammig generously accepted the burden of co-supervising my dissertation. I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Manuel Ammann, Prof. Paul S¨ oderlind, PhD, Prof. Dr. Michael Kohlmann, Michael Verhofen, and Ralf Seiz for helpful comments throughout my work on the study. I give special thanks to my colleagues Bernd Brommundt, Dr. Rico von Wyss, and Stephan Kessler who always devoted time to discussing my ideas and clear confusing arguments in my working papers. A major part of the study was finished during my visit at Syddansk Universitetet, Odense, Denmark, and at Norges Handelshøyskole, Bergen, Norway. I would like to thank Prof. Peter-Ove Christensen, PhD, in Odense and Prof. Svein-Arne Persson, PhD, in Bergen for their generous invitation and their hospitality. Chapters 2 and 3 profited very much from frequent discussions with Christian Riis Flor, PhD, who raised interesting issues that stimulated ideas for improvement. The comments of Morten Moosegard Christensen and Prof. Claus Munk, PhD, have been very helpful. In Bergen, Prof. Kristian R. Miltersen, PhD, Aksel Mjøs, Prof. Jonas Andersson, PhD, and Tr
