Estimating Credit Risk Premia, Kian Guan Lim

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

This paper investigates the nature of the credit risk premium adjustments in the Jarrow-Lando-Turnbull model of credit risk spreads. The adjustments relate the equivalent martingale measures to the empirical measures of unconditional transition probabilities. We provide a modi ed version of the risk adjustment that allows a linear partition of the credit spread into an unconditional default component, a recovery component, and the risk premium adjustment. The risk adjustments are related to conditional default risk, illiquidity risk, and other factors not related to recovery e ects. The log-transform of these risk adjustments can be speci ed as linear regressions on …

Trading Your Neighbor's Etfs: Competition Or Fragmentation?, Beatrice Boehmer, Ekkehart Boehmer

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

On July 31, 2001, for the first time in its history, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) began trading three unlisted securities. The DIA, SPY, and QQQ are the most actively traded Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and are listed on the American Stock Exchange. On April 15, 2002 another 27 ETFs followed. These two events provide a unique experiment for studying the impact of a new entrant on market quality. In contrast to recently revived concerns about the adverse impact of market fragmentation, we document that the NYSE entry leads to a dramatic improvement in liquidity that we attribute to …

Simulation Of Implant Fitting In The Hip Bone Using Maya / Adi Dewiyana Abdul Hadi, Abdul Hadi Adi Dewiyana

Student Works (2000-2009)

In today's medical world, attention of researchers of orthopedic surgery now turned toward using 3-D visualization and virtual environment technologies to help surgeons plan for patient specific and complex procedures of operation. For a successful hip surgery, planning is required to decide on type and size of the implant and the reconstruction of the joint geometry. Biomedical analysis and determination of the center of rotation enable the surgeon to choose the theoretically optimal position of the implant. We can plan for the operation by using a computer simulation. Computer simulation provides the conceptual basis to aid the analysis of complex …

Map Interactive Guide Using Palm Kuala Lumpur (Migup-Kl) / Noor Azly Mohamed, Mohamed Noor Azly

Student Works (2000-2009)

There are many web sites provide information about map for certain places in Malaysia. However, from the study I have done, there is no significant number shown that any of the website provide service on Palm. This study has been the idea to develop a website or more accurately a web clipping solution for Map Interactive using Palm-Kuala Lumpur (MlGuP). Before developing MIGuP, several subject keywords related to the project have been covered. Among the subject keywords are map, interactive and Palm device. Discussion with my supervisor Cik Rafidah Mohd Nor ha been carried out to under rand the current …

The Social Problem Of Depression: A Multi-Theoretical Analysis, Rich Furman, Kimberly Bender

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the social problem of depression from a multi-theoretical perspective. It explores depression through the lens of two psychologically based theories of human behavior, existential theory and cognitive theory, as well as through the vehicle of two sociological theories, Marxist theory and the theory of oppression. By understanding how each of these theories explains depression, social workers may be helped to see the complexity of treating the problem. It is the belief of the authors that social work literature, which is often dominated by reductionist, quantitativelybased research studies, has increasingly ignored theoretical explorations …

Scientific Collaboratories In Higher Education: Exploring Learning Style Preferences And Perceptions Of Technology, Diane H. Sonnenwald, Bin Li

Faculty Publications

Scientific collaboratories hold the promise of providing students access to specialized scientific instruments, data and experts, enabling learning opportunities perhaps otherwise not available. However, evaluation of scientific collaboratories in higher education has lagged behind their development. We conducted a repeated-measures study that provided data regarding social interaction learning styles and perceptions of a scientific collaboratory system from 40 university science students working face-to-face and remotely. Students with a strong competitive learning style preference or who worked with a student with a strong competitive learning style reported a slightly more positive perception of the relative advantage, compatibility and complexity of the …

Does Underwriter Reputation Affect The Performance Of Ipo Stocks?, Chunchi Wu, Sheen Liu, Junbo Wang

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

In this paper we examine the relationship between performance of the Chinese IPO firms and the reputation of investment bankers underwriting their stocks. Similar to previous studies on well-developed stock markets, we find that the initial return on the first day of trading is strongly positive for Chinese IPO stocks due to underpricing. This initial return is negatively related to the underwriter's reputation, suggesting that the better the reputation of the underwriter, the less underpricing and hence, the lower the initial return of the IPO stock. Extending the analysis to a ten-day window after the first trading day, we find …
