Private equity experienced dramatic fluctuations in investment activity in line with the turbulences of financial markets in recent years. Claudia Sommer develops a theoretical framework of factors driving private equity investment activity and the resulting performance implications. Using a data set of more than 40,000 European transactions, she applies a variety of econometrical approaches and shows how neoclassical aspects, information asymmetries, agency conflicts, and market timing contribute to the dynamics in the private equity market. In a performance analysis of more than 1,300 European funds she reveals the resulting performance implications.

Handling the large orders of institutional participants presents some of the most complex problems for system design. How well are our current systems operating, and how effective are new facilities on the scene? To what extent is market quality impaired for all participants when institutional trading costs are not properly contained? Can institutional order flow be efficiently integrated with the orders of retail customers, or are separate facilities needed? What are the impediments to market structure change, and how might they best be overcome? These are some of the questions addressed, and in so doing, Coping With Institutional Order Flow considers major ways in which to improve the efficiency of our equity markets.

The volumes outstanding in bond markets are by far larger than in equity markets. Despite this fact, research on the microstructure of financial markets is mainly focused on equity markets. Because of the differences between bond and equity markets, theoretical as well as empirical results from equity markets cannot be transferred to bond markets. Based on unique datasets for German federal securities, EMU government bonds and Euro corporate bonds Volker Flögel analyzes the distinctive features of multiple dealer markets in general and bond markets in particular. Applying state-of-the-art econometric methods to this data, he focuses on the organizational structure of the market for German federal securities, the interaction between the interdealer and the customer-dealer market for EMU government bonds, and the cost of liquidity for Euro corporate bonds. His results are of interest to practitioners and researchers and refute some commonly held beliefs about bond markets.
