Maestría en Finanzas

El sector turismo fue uno de los sectores más afectados a nivel mundial por la pandemia del Covid-19, según la organización mundial de turismo, para el año 2020 el sector tuvo un descenso del 70% como consecuencia de las restricciones de movilidad y el cierre fronterizo.

Information Sharing Between Mutual Funds And Auditors, Ole‐Kristian Hope, Pingui Rao, Yanping Xu, Heng Yue

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

This paper examines whether there is information sharing between mutual funds and their auditors about the auditors’ other listed firm clients. Using data from the Chinese market, we find that mutual funds earn higher profits from trading in firms that share the same auditors. The effects are more pronounced when firms have a more opaque information environment and when the audit partners for the fund and the partners for the listed firm share school ties. The evidence is consistent with information flowing from auditors to mutual funds, providing mutual funds with an information advantage in firms that share the same …

Trust And Contracting: Evidence From Church Sex Scandals, Gilles Hilary, Sterling Huang

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

Firms located in communities in which people are, on average, more trusting enjoy some benefits in terms of the power of CEO contracts. We present two pieces of empirical evidence to support this claim: (1) higher average trust in a county is associated with “flatter” executive contracts and (2) when an exogenous shock occurs (such as a scandal involving an important social institution), both trust and contracting move in similar directions. We obtain the first result in a panel specification and the second in a “difference-in-difference” specification that uses the revelation of sex scandals involving the Catholic Church across different …

Postmaterialism And Corporate Tax Avoidance, Jiwei Wang, Jiwei Wang, Kangtao Ye

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

Using a proprietary dataset of China tax audits, we found that firms owned by investors from countries with higher postmaterialism values were less likely to engage in tax-avoidance behavior in China. In addition, we found some evidence that the negative association between postmaterialism and tax avoidance is more pronounced when tax enforcement is stronger, indicating that national culture and formal institutions act as complements. To check the external validity of our main results, we further used a cross-country sample from 21 countries over 22 years. The evidence from the cross-country sample was consistent with the findings obtained from the China …

Transition-Denial And Structural Adjustment: Causation And Culpability In The Cuban Economy, José Gabilondo

FIU Law Review

In 2020, Cuba implemented the Tarea Ordenamiento (Tarea), the most significant economic reform since the construction of the socialist economy after the Revolution. Signaling an eclectic brand of Cuban socialism, the Tarea clears away three decades of tried and failed economic doctrines, drawing a new fiscal border around state enterprises, nodding to market realities, and preparing the island for greater insertion into the world economy. While the political economy of post-Castro Cuba has changed in this way, the United States continues to subject the island to an unprecedented program of unilateral sanctions, universally condemned as a breach of human rights, …

Layered Fiduciaries In The Information Age, Zhaoyi Li

Articles

Technology companies such as Facebook have long been criticized for abusing customers’ personal information and monetizing user data in a manner contrary to customer expectations. Some commentators suggest fiduciary law could be used to restrict how these companies use their customers’ data. Under this framework, a new member of the fiduciary family called the “information fiduciary” was born. The concept of an information fiduciary is that a company providing network services to “collect, analyze, use, sell, and distribute personal information” owes customers and end-users a fiduciary duty to use the collected data to promote their interests, thereby assuming fiduciary liability …

Financial Innovation And Restriction Hypothesis In The Banking Industry: Evidence From Asean- 5, Yosman Bustaman, Viverita Viverita, Margaretha Tp Lingga, Antonius P. Siahaan

The Indonesian Capital Market Review

This study investigates the financial innovation impact on bank market power in ASEAN banking from 2008 to 2018. It uses income diversification as a representative of financial innovation. The im- pact of countries’ development of financial innovation on market power is measured by the number of ATM, internet, and cellular phone users. The data panel regression model reveals that diversified banks may enjoy higher market power. This result rejects the banking restriction activity hypothesis, which states that a bank that diversifies its income stream results in increased competition. A higher number of available ATMs and more internet users lowers the …

How Much Do Investors Care About Social Responsibility?, Scott Hirst, Kobi Kastiel, Tamar Kricheli-Katz

Faculty Scholarship

Perhaps the most important corporate law debate over the last several years concerns whether directors and executives should manage the corporation to maximize value for investors or also take into account the interests of other stakeholders and society. But, do investors themselves wish to maximize returns, or are they willing to forgo returns for social purposes? And more broadly, do market participants, such as investors and consumers, differ from donors in the ways in which they prioritize monetary gains and the promotion of social goals?

This project attempts to answer these questions with evidence from an experiment conducted with 279 …

Guerra Comercial Estados Unidos - China: Retos Y Oportunidades Para El Desarrollo Comercial Y Productivo Colombiano, Jhon Alejandro Tibaná Niño

Finanzas y Comercio Internacional

Durante la historia, se han presentado distintos escenarios de guerra comercial, ejemplo de ello, la guerra comercial ocurrida en el año 1929 a causa de la gran depresión vivida, en donde se impone la ley de aranceles Smoot-Hawley la cual Estados Unidos aplica aranceles del 20% a importaciones de productos manufactureros y agrícolas y que como consecuencia tuvo represalias de por lo menos 25 países; dicha ley redujo hasta en un 66% el comercio internacional (Kenton, 2019), a partir de dicha crisis países como Colombia vieron la oportunidad o la necesidad de desarrollar determinado sector para suplir las distintas necesidades …

Protección De La Industria Nacional En El Sector Agrícola, Ángela Fernanda Beltrán Martínez, Mariana Rodríguez Méndez, Daniela Valentina Sierra Cuadros

Finanzas y Comercio Internacional

El presente estudio parte de la premisa que Colombia, a pesar de ser un país agrícola, le apuesta más a la importación que a la inversión de productos pertenecientes a este sector. Dado lo anterior y apoyado en una investigación de enfoque mixto, medición numérica y análisis estadístico, se realiza un estudio basado en dos productos (maíz y azúcar); partiendo de dos modelos econométricos que buscan explicar el crecimiento de las importaciones de cada producto a partir del análisis de la relación entre la variable dependiente con las variables independientes.

De los resultados se logró determinar que al evaluar la …

Retos Del Sector Exportador De Las Tecnologías De La Información Y Las Comunicaciones (Tic) En Colombia, Juan Camilo Pulido Fagua

Finanzas y Comercio Internacional

Aunque el sector de las Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones (TIC) en Colombia tiene una discreta participación en el comercio internacional e importancia en las exportaciones totales del país, tiene una prometedora expectativa de crecimiento dentro de los próximos años. Esto se debe a que, según las tendencias exportadoras, Colombia logrará hacer una transición en su oferta exportable, reemplazando los productos primarios, por productos con valor agregado como los del sector TIC, que cuentan con procesos de programación, fabricación, etc., generando una diferenciación y mayores valores comerciales. En este contexto, el objetivo general de esta investigación es determinar …

Information Spillover And Corporate Policies: The Case Of Listed Options, Gennaro Bernile, Jianfeng Hu, Guangzhong Li, Roni Michaely

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

Information production associated with derivatives markets is not a sideshow; rather, it has significantly positive spillover effects on an array of corporate decisions of underlying firms. Using a regression-discontinuity design based on exogenous variation in options availability as an instrument for changes in the information environment, we show that options introductions have causal effects on corporate policies on both sides of the balance sheet. Through improved information efficiency, options availability reduces the need for debt and payout, increases efficient investment, and yields superior innovation. We conduct two independent experiments demonstrating that our instrument s impact is not derived from alternative …

Esg And Intellectual Capital Efficiency: Evidence From Asean Emerging Markets, Etikah Karyani, Muhamad Resa Perdiansyah

Jurnal Akuntansi dan Keuangan Indonesia

This study aims to investigate the impacts of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) in total and individual performance (“E”, “S”, and “G”) on firms’ intellectual capital (IC) efficiency. The Value-Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC) and Modified Value-Added Intellectual Coefficient (MVAIC) were used to measure IC efficiency. Meanwhile, the annual ESG index data from the ASEAN-4 were used to measure ESG from 2015 to 2020. The results show “E”, “S”, and “G” and total ESG positively affect firms’ efficiency in managing IC. In addition, the industry type moderates these relationships in terms of that banks have a greater influence than non-banks. Our …

Financial Institutions Continue To Adopt Crypto Despite Industry Turmoil, Andre Beganski

Capstones

Even though this calamitous year has raised doubts about crypto's future, not a single large financial institution has backed away from their forays into digital assets. And despite a period of turmoil that’s seen the market value of all cryptocurrencies crater to under $880 billion from over $3 trillion, many sizable firms continue to view crypto as an emerging sector of finance and technology that’s rife with opportunity.

While financial firms have the potential to foster a widespread perception of cryptocurrencies as a legitimate asset class, their involvement runs counter to the intent of those who pioneered blockchain technology for …

A Comparison Of M&T Bank And Citizens Bank Net Income Changes During The Coronavirus Pandemic, Alex R. Glasier

Applied Economics Theses

The COVID-19 pandemic had a tremendous impact on every aspect of life, particularly within the world of banking & finance. All banks saw sharp drops in their stock prices and net income, but my hypothesis is that larger, more established banks maintained more stability during 2020 than smaller banks. This paper analyzes the income statements and balance sheets of M&T Bank (an older, more well-established bank) and Citizens Bank (a less-established bank) during this difficult time.

The first part of my thesis describes similarities and differences between M&T Bank and Citizens Bank. I explain how these similarities and differences may …
