Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits version 600

Analysis and Commentary

Schriften zum Handels- und Gesellschaftsrecht

The UCP is the most widely implemented, privately drafted banking regulation regarding the handling of documentary letters of credit in international trade transactions. Since 1933, six versions of the UCP have been used in managing letters of credit. However, the most current version, the UCP 600, is not as widely utilized as the previous version was, as the new version favors trade customers over banks. The banks favor customary law over these „rules? and thus exclude…

Is Fairtrade Labeling Fair?

A Welfare Analysis

Schriftenreihe volkswirtschaftliche Forschungsergebnisse

The discussion about the effectiveness of fairtrade labeling in terms of economic efficiency and as a measure for alleviating poverty goes on since several years. While the fairtrade movement claims that it is necessary to pay a „fair“ price to the producers to allow them to live a decent life, free-market apologists argue that that fairtrade is not really fair but principally makes non-fairtrade producers poorer. Moreover it is stated that fairtrade is an inefficient way…

The UCC’s “perfect tender rule” and cancellation of contracts in the CISG

Studien zum Internationalen Privat- und Zivilprozessrecht sowie zum UN-Kaufrecht

The importance of international trade has increased immensely within the last decades and will not decrease in the future. With developing markets around the world, such as those of the European Union, Asia or Latin America, new trade opportunities are emerging. This development is not least due to the new technologies available to us, which present us lawyers with ever new challenges, which arise for us from the fact that the markets and the technologies develop faster…

Trade-off Beziehungen in den Dimensionen der Wertpapierliquidität

Ein optionspreistheoretischer Ansatz auf Basis der Optionseigenschaften von Limit Orders

Schriftenreihe der Forschungsstelle für Bankrecht und Bankpolitik an der Universität Bayreuth

Transaktionskosten, aber auch Zeit- und Informationskosten beeinflussen die individuellen Entscheidungen der auf Kapitalmärkten agierenden Wirtschaftssubjekte und haben damit ebenfalls Auswirkungen auf die Preisbildung in den entsprechenden Märkten.

Das in der Untersuchung betrachtete Liquiditätskonzept mit den…
