THE IUC WORKING PAPER SERIES aim at generating interest for the ideas and research outcomes presented at IUC-activities. The working papers should be of academic quality and can vary along the whole range of disciplines and subjects addressed in IUC-courses and conferences. The working papers may differ in format: from a research paper, a position paper, an essay to a report. Participants in IUC-activities are eligible to publish and to submit papers that were presented during an IUC-activity.
The project has started in December 2020. Papers are published all through the year, as soon as the review process is finished.
The initiative of IUC-course directors to nominate papers is welcomed.
Reviewers: Nebojša Blanuša, Vječeslav Bohanek, Carmen Ciller Tenreiro, Vida Demarin, Silvia Ghilezan, Gorm Harste, Renata Jambrešić Kirin, Lee Kendall Metcalf, Steffen Roth, Paul Stubbs, Majda Trobok
Additional reviewers may come from IUC course directors or lecturers, depending on the subject of the paper.

Board-Level Codetermination in Germany - The Importance and Economic Impact of Fiduciary Duties
Dieter Sadowski
The empirical accounts of the costs and benefits of quasi-parity codetermined supervisory boards have long been inconclusive. A valid economic analysis of a particular legal regulation must take the legal specificities seriously, otherwise, it will be easily lost in economic fictions of functional equivalence.
