Abstract:	This dissertation consists of three self-contained chapters. In chapter 1, I look at the effects of monetary policy uncertainty on the withdrawal behaviour of the investors in (corporate) bond funds, both from a theoretical and an empirical perspective. In chapter 2 (co-authored with Maurizio Michael Habib and Simone Manganelli), we analyze the effects of ECB monetary policy announcements on the portfolio of euro area fund investors. Chapter 3 (co-authored with Nikolay Marinov) models the role of outside powers in the electoral process. Brief summaries of the chapters follow.
