Being integrated in the University’s Institute of IT-Security and Security Law (ISL), it aims at an interdisciplinary research and teaching in the field of new and emerg- ing Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). In several co-operations with re- searchers from technical and social sciences, our goal is twofold: First, there is a strong need to develop legal criteria for the design and practical use of such new technologies. Second, technical change leads to new social conflicts, which in turn pose new questions to the legal system. Thus, new regulation strategies are developed to meet these challenges. Prof. Dr. Gerrit Hornung – CV Gerrit Hornung is a full professor of public law, IT law and legal informatics at the University of Passau. He studied law and philosophy at the University of Freiburg (1996-2001). After his first state exam, he attended an LL.M. course at the University of Edinburgh which focused on European law and European and international human rights. His PhD thesis, dealing with the legal problems of smartcards (particularly the new German ID card and patient data cards), was awarded the 2006 Wissenschaftspreis of the Deutsche Stiftung für Recht und In- formatik (DSRI).

    Facts and figures. President’s Report 250 best universities worldwide 40 Years University A University of Passau for Europe Now and in the Future 2017–18 Foreword from the President Dear friends, sponsors and members of the University of Passau, The academic year 2017–18 was all about our University’s 40th anniversary, which we celebrated with a big weekend festival in June 2018 and at the Dies academicus, on 9 November, as the last festivity of our anniversary year. Forty years ago, in 1978, the University started out with a few dozen staff and just a few hundred students, sent here, to the border region be- tween Austria, the Czech Republic and Germany, by the central university admissions body for Germany. By the year 2025, we expect to grow to approximately 15,000 students and 1,500 staff in academic and support functions. We are preparing for this by positioning the University of Passau accordingly in terms of the disciplines represented here and by implementing suitable policies in the areas of finance, organisational structure, personnel – and not least by expanding the University’s physical space capacities. Having received, in September 2018, the full approval of the competent state ministries for our application for an extension of the campus onto to the former premises of the Lowenbrau brewery, we will now expand our built environment at the same time as we grow figuratively into a world-class university. On the Spitzberg site, the ‘Passau International Centre of Science and Research’ will be established, bringing the University as a centre of excellent, competitive research and strong, innovative teaching closer to the city centre of Passau and creating a gateway to Passau as a city of science.

  • The Influence of Imf Programs on the Re-Election of Debtor Governments
    ECONOMICS & POLITICS 0954-1985 Volume 16 March 2004 No. 1 THE INFLUENCE OF IMF PROGRAMS ON THE RE-ELECTION OF DEBTOR GOVERNMENTS Ã AXEL DREHER The paper develops a model explaining why IMF programs are less likely to be concluded before national election dates. Since conclusion of an IMF arrangement may signal the incumbent’s incompetence, rational voters use this signal when deciding upon his re-election. In order to demonstrate competence, politicians may therefore decide not to conclude IMF programs prior to elections. The model also shows that re-election probabilities of politicians who nevertheless conclude ar- rangements at election times depend on the state of the economy. Using panel data for 96 countries between 1976 and 1997, the model is tested empirically. The results show that conclusion of an IMF arrangement within six months prior to an election increases re-election probabilities when GDP growth is low, but reduces the chance to win an election with high growth rates. 1. INTRODUCTION IN ORDER to increase their re-election chances governments often try to stimulate their economy at election time (e.g. Schuknecht, 2000). Recently, Dreher and Vaubel (2004) have shown that in this context IMF loans might be important. This is because governments can use the money paid out by the Fund directly for election purposes – at least if conditionality does not prevent an abuse (Vaubel, 1991). Moreover, an overvalued exchange rate generated by fiscal expansion prior to elections can be maintained with the money. Political costs to negotiate or maintain IMF programs might be, however, particularly high prior to elections.
