Revelation 17:18 CHRISTIAN-ALBRECHTS-UNIVERSITAT¨ ZU KIEL Abstract Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences Department of Economics Doctor of Philosophy Essays on Interlocking Directorates and Speculative Dynamics by Ricardo Giglio This thesis is composed by four chapters which can be classified in two broad topics. The first and second chapters deal with the properties of the networks created by interlock- ing directorates, while the third and fourth chapters with the so-called Efficient Market Hypothesis. Connecting these two topics is the notion of a stylized fact (also called a universal property) which is not accounted for by the currently stablished theory. The first chapter shows that the existence of a very well connected dominant community is not explained by the traditional preferential attachment models. In addition, it is also shown that the patterns of accumulation of board positions by single individuals observed in empirical data cannot be explained by a simple random binomial procedure. An in depth analysis of a time framed interlocking directorates dataset from Spain is presented in order to argue that board linkages might have generated some kind of special conditions for lending that would not exist if based on economic criteria only. In addition, the effects of a new gender equality regulation are investigate to conclude that women are still under represented in the boards of directors, although an increase in their absolute number could be observed. Finally, surrogate linearity tests and microscopic (agent based) models are applied in order to explain the stylized facts not account for by the Efficient Market Hypothe- sis. More specifically, with respect to the class of microscopic models called Structural Stochastic Volatility models, it is shown that the introduction of inactive traders in- creases the model ability to explain the stylized facts. Additionally, taking advantage of this model contest, it is argued that a simulation horizon one allows a model to run in order to estimate its parameters higher than what was previously assumed in not necessary in order to compare different models. Acknowledgements I wish to acknowledge the help provided by my supervisor, Dr. Thomas Lux, during the whole period of my research. His extremely qualified suggestions surely made the path for this research easier and much more interesting. I would also like to thank Dr. Simone Alfarano for the support and for the discussions during my stay in Spain. Special and kind thanks should be given to my wife Paula for the patience during these years of hard work, and to my family for their support and encouragement throughout my study, as it has always been in my life. Last but not least, thanks to Joseph for showing me that problems are always smaller than they look like. iii Contents Abstract ii Acknowledgements iii Contents iv List of Figures vii List of Tables xi 1 The Topology of the Global Interlocking Directorates4 1.1 Interlocking directorates............................5 1.2 Graph theory..................................7 1.3 Data description................................ 12 1.4 Random benchmark for the accumulation of board positions........ 14 1.5 Small worldness................................. 15 1.5.1 Communities.............................. 17 1.5.2 Random Graphs............................ 20 1.5.3 Ordered Graphs............................ 23 1.5.4 Country level interlocks........................ 23 1.5.5 Sector connectivity........................... 27 1.6 Kinds of small................................. 29 1.6.1 Watts/Strogatz small world graphs.................. 29 1.6.2 The distribution of connections.................... 31 1.6.3 Preferential attachment and growth................. 33 1.6.4 Power law fitting............................ 35 1.7 Network core.................................. 36 1.7.1 The most important nodes...................... 37 1.7.2 The rich club phenomena....................... 38 1.7.3 The rich club coefficient........................ 40 1.7.4 Coreness................................. 42 1.8 Conclusion................................... 44 Appendix A.

Within the IT business landscape, volumes and headcount are amongst the prominent spaces that companies vie to occupy, retain and grow. Because the IT business is primarily a skill and technology driven business, based on outsourcing and off-shoring solutions for overseas clients, growth is directly linked to volumes, and volumes are closely correlated to headcount.
