First and fore-most, I owe thanks to my supervisor Urs Schweizer. Above all, it was his patience andexperience that guided me on how to evolve mere research ideas into well written andpolished research papers. Whenever I was stuck it was him who had the big picture inmind and brought me back on track. I also want to thank Matthias Krakel for actingas a referee on my thesis committee and for providing me with many helpful comments.I would like to thank Alexander Stremitzer, who contributed to Chapter I of thisthesis. It was him, who introduced me to the art of writing a modern law and economicsresearch paper. Not only that he helped me to expand my background of law, he alsotaught me how to convey, in a nutshell, the often complicated economic intuition tothe reader. Moreover, I am grateful to have worked together with Michael Hewer onChapter III.
