»Knowledge, Corporate Attribution and Public Disclosure of Inside Information«
The thesis deals with the question of when an issuer, in the context of its obligation to publicly disclose inside information pursuant to Art. 17 MAR and Sec. 97 of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG), can be held responsible for the knowledge of individual board members or employees.
