The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance
The study and practice of entrepreneurial finance and its associated relevance for the field of business venturing is now at long last secure in its place in the pantheon of well respected academic and professional disciplines. While initially perhaps thought of as no more than grist for the mill of those involved with personal self-enrichment and beyond the pale of concern with the scholarly dissemination of the world’s accumulated valued wisdom, areas such as the study of venture capital, micro-financing, entrepreneurship management and other related pursuits have now established themselves as well worth the interest of those intimately pursuing serious …
Microfinance: A Comprehensive Review Of The Existing Literature, James C. Brau, Gary M. Woller
Microfinance: A Comprehensive Review Of The Existing Literature, James C. Brau, Gary M. Woller
The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance
Although the word finance is in the term microfinance, and the core elements of microfinance are those of the finance discipline, microfinance has yet to break into the mainstream or entrepreneurial finance literature. The purpose of this article is to introduce the finance academic community to the discipline of microfinance and microfinance institutions (MFIs). We provide a comprehensive review of over 350 articles and address the issues of MFI sustainability, products and services, management practices, clientele targeting, regulation and policy, and impact assessment.

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance
This year's Academy of Entrepreneurial Finance Conference at George Washington University last April was well attended and well worth attending. We were treated to a variety of good papers along numerous lines of enquiry, of which the following are examples. If there is a consistent theme to these selections (perhaps by accident?) it is in innovative explorations of new and interesting databases.
Which Loans Are Relationship Loans? Evidence From The 1998 Survey Of Small Business Finances, Karlyn Mitchell, Douglas K. Pearce
Which Loans Are Relationship Loans? Evidence From The 1998 Survey Of Small Business Finances, Karlyn Mitchell, Douglas K. Pearce
The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance
Despite financial economists' long-standing interest in the role of lender-borrower relationships in increasing the availability of funds to small businesses, many questions remain unanswered. Numerous empirical studies investigate the effect of relationships on the availability and terms of credit to small businesses (Petersen and Rajan (1994), Berger and Udell (1995), Blackwell and Winters (1997), Cole (1998), Harhoff and Körting (1998), Elsas and Krahnen (1998), Angelini et al.(1998), Degryse and van Cayseele (2000), Bodenhorn (2003)) and many find that relationships improve the availability of credit for some categories of small businesses. But the studies present mixed results on how relationships affect …
The "Liability Of Newness" And Small Firm Access To Debt Capital: Is There A Link?, Susan Coleman
The "Liability Of Newness" And Small Firm Access To Debt Capital: Is There A Link?, Susan Coleman
The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance
Literature pertaining to the “liability of newness†contends that newer firms face particular difficulties and a greater risk of failure. This article seeks to determine if “newness†is also a disadvantage in the acquisition of debt capital. Results indicate that newer firms were significantly less likely to have lines of credit and were also significantly more likely to have been turned down for their most recent loan. Even when we control for length of relationship with the primary financial services provider, personal guarantees, and collateral, younger firms were still more likely to be turned down for loans. Small firms are …
Does Corporate Governance Influence Firm Value? Evidence From Indian Firms, Jayesh Kumar
Does Corporate Governance Influence Firm Value? Evidence From Indian Firms, Jayesh Kumar
The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance
This paper examines empirically the effects of ownership structure on the firm performance for a panel of Indian corporate firms, from a corporate governance perspective. We examine the effect of interactions between corporate, foreign, institutional, and directorial ownership on firm performance. Using firm level panel data framework, we show that a large fraction of cross-sectional variation, in firm performance, can be explained by unobserved firm heterogeneity. We also provide evidence that the shareholding by institutional investors and managers affect firm performance non-linearly, after controlling for observed firm characteristics and unobserved firm heterogeneity. Institutional investors monitor the firm once their stake …
Annualized Returns Of Ventured-Backed Public Companies Stratified By Decades And By Stages Of Financing, Emanuel Shachmurove, Yochanan Shachmurove
Annualized Returns Of Ventured-Backed Public Companies Stratified By Decades And By Stages Of Financing, Emanuel Shachmurove, Yochanan Shachmurove
The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance
This paper investigates the actual performance of 2,678 Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) of companies that were backed by venture capital from 1969 to 2002. The main purpose is to compare the annual returns of the venture capital industry during the 1980s and 1990s. Comparisons between the decades provide some reasoning for the increased media coverage of the industry. There is no doubt that the media is fascinated by the release of any good news concerned with venture capital. For example, many people are familiar with the recent venture-backed Initial Public Offering (IPO) of Google, which brought in $1.7 billion on …

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance
This issue of The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance and Business Ventures is devoted exclusively to research on venture capital. As such, the issue seeks to develop and analyze research concerns relevant to an area which has come to be recognized as perhaps the singly most important lifeblood concern with respect to entrepreneurship. The financing of business ventures at the germination of idea, start-up, early growth, and public financing stages are all vital to the success of an entrepreneurial venture. Since venture capital participation is almost always essential in each of these phases of entrepreneurial development, work studying the operations of …
The Optimality Of Multi-Stage Venture Capital Financing: An Option-Theoretic Approach, Robert Dubil
The Optimality Of Multi-Stage Venture Capital Financing: An Option-Theoretic Approach, Robert Dubil
The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance
For venture capital firms, facing undiversifiable risks, multi-staged financing is an optimal contract which offers significant risk reduction at a cost of only slightly lower potential return. The optimality does not depend on the presence of moral hazard and agency problems. Our theoretical model of multi-stage financing, largely based on Asian option pricing theory, allows us to compute the risk reduction ratio due to multi-staging. The return on a staged financing plan is equivalent to an exchange of a straight equity stake for that acquired through stochastic averaging over time. We compare standard deviation ratios for staged vs. up-front financings …
The Staging Of Venture Equity Capital And Venture Capitalist Bargaining Power, G. Geoffrey Booth, Orkunt M. Dalgic, Allan Young
The Staging Of Venture Equity Capital And Venture Capitalist Bargaining Power, G. Geoffrey Booth, Orkunt M. Dalgic, Allan Young
The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance
In this paper we look at the effects of bargaining power on the types of entrepreneurial projects chosen by venture capitalists and show that a wealth-constrained venture capitalist prefers to provide equity financing to a two-stage rather than to a similar single-stage project. While the venture capitalist does not have bargaining power over the entrepreneur of a single-stage project and is thus unable to extract any surplus, the venture capitalist does have this advantage in a two-stage project and, provided the project is good, can demand a portion of the surplus as a pre-condition for providing follow-on capital. This suggests …
A Comparative Study Of Venture Capital Performance In The Us And Europe, Xiaoqing Eleanor Xu
A Comparative Study Of Venture Capital Performance In The Us And Europe, Xiaoqing Eleanor Xu
The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance
For the past fifty years in the United States, venture capital (VC) has provided initial funding to innovative entrepreneurial enterprises, while the European venture capital industry has only really emerged over the past decade. Using quarterly data from 1993 to 2003, this paper examines and compares the return and risk performance of venture capital funds in US and Europe. Several results are noteworthy. First, pooled venture capital returns in US and Europe are 3.273% and 0.765% (on a quarterly basis) above the CAPM market risk-adjusted returns, respectively. Second, US venture capital fund performance dominates that of Europe in all measures: …
Grandstanding And Venture Capital Firms In Newly Established Ipo Markets, Nobuhiko Hibara
Grandstanding And Venture Capital Firms In Newly Established Ipo Markets, Nobuhiko Hibara
The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance
The grandstanding theory posits that young venture capital firms (VCs) will seek to build their reputations by taking ventures public early. In this study, we examine this theory in the Japanese IPO market. With the introduction of MOTHERS and NASDAQ Japan in 1999 and 2000, respectively, with the explicit intent of catering to smaller and younger companies, we are able to examine the influence of these new markets on grandstanding and the IPO process. We find that young lead VC-backed ventures go public at a younger age than mature lead VC-backed ventures and that young lead VC-backed ventures are more …
Sources Of Capital And Debt Structure In Small Firms, Chenchuramaiah T. Bathala, Oswald D. Bowlin, William P. Dukes
Sources Of Capital And Debt Structure In Small Firms, Chenchuramaiah T. Bathala, Oswald D. Bowlin, William P. Dukes
The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance
In this paper we examine the relationship between ownership differences and small firms’ financial policies using a survey of U.S. companies. The study finds that financial policies differ according to the type of ownership (private versus public) and by the ownership differences (family-owned, closely-held, or widely-held) within the private firms. The differences are in the ownership concentration, relative importance of various sources of capital, debt characteristics (sources of debt financing, debt maturity, and debt cost). A multiple regression equation estimated in the paper provides evidence relating to cross-sectional variations in debt ratios of small firms. The paper offers information asymmetry, …

Understanding The Economic Factors Influencing Farm Policy Preferences, Keith H. Coble, Thomas O. Knight, George F. Patrick, Alan E. Baquet
Understanding The Economic Factors Influencing Farm Policy Preferences, Keith H. Coble, Thomas O. Knight, George F. Patrick, Alan E. Baquet
Department of Agricultural Economics: Faculty Publications
A survey conducted in Mississippi, Texas, Indiana, and Nebraska elicited producers’ preferences for various farm policy changes. This permitted examination of the diversity of preferences that single-state studies have not allowed. Five policy choices, including deficiency payments, loan programs, crop insurance, export programs, and disaster payments were examined. Logit model results predicting producer preferences for each of the five dichotomous policy choices are reported. Explanatory variables based on expected utility theory such as risk aversion, price and yield variability, and price–yield correlation are significant in various models.

Teachers With Administrative Certification: Factors Influencing Teachers Not To Practice, Debra R. Lecklider
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Finding qualified applicants to fill building-level administrative vacancies is a growing concern. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore and define the reasons why qualified teachers who graduated from the Experiential Program for Preparing School Principals (EPPSP) at Butler University are not practicing as buildinglevel administrators. The participants in this study were five qualified teachers who completed EPPSP and remained in the classroom. These teachers were interviewed to determine why they were not practicing as building-level administrators. Each face-to-face interview was tape recorded, transcribed, and then analyzed to detennine factors that influence qualified teachers who graduate from principal …
Predictors Of Kindergarten Teachers' Practice Of Developmentally Appropriate Mathematics: Attitudes Toward Mathematics, Attitudes Toward Teaching Mathematics, And Pedagogical Content Knowledge Of Mathematics, Joohi Lee
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study was intended to identify possible predictors for the practice of developmentally appropriate mathematics. This study tested three possible predictors: 1) kindergarten teachers' attitudes toward mathematics; 2) kindergarten teachers' attitudes toward teaching mathematics; and 3) kindergarten teachers' pedagogical content knowledge of mathematics, and its relationship to predict the practice of developmentally appropriate mathematics. Four research questions were addressed: 1. Do combined factors (kindergarten teachers' attitudes toward mathematics, their attitudes toward teaching mathematics, and their pedagogical content knowledge of mathematics) predict the practice of developmentally appropriate mathematics? 2. Do kindergarten teachers' attitudes toward mathematics predict their use of developmentally appropriate …

This research deals with the validation of fluid dynamic models, used for simulating shoaling and breaking solitary waves on slopes, based on experiments performed at the Ecole Supérieure d'Ingénieurs de Marseille's (ESIM) laboratory. A separate paper, also presented at this conference, reports on experiments. In a first part of this work, a fully nonlinear potential flow model based on a Boundary Element Method (BEM) developed at the University of Rhode Island (URI), is used to generate and propagate solitary waves over a slope, up to overturning, in a set-up closely reproducing the laboratory tank geometry and wavemaker system. The BEM …

Expert consensus emphasizes the need for better recognition and accurate diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Current research on lithium, divalproex, and lamotrigine provides new insight into the effective management of this illness. Advances in identifying the mechanism of action of mood stabilization has focused on signaling pathways within the cell that are associated with neurotrophic effects. Clinical research has led to confirmatory evidence of the efficacy of lithium in all phases of bipolar disorder, with the greatest effects seen in the treatment and prevention of mania. Compared to divalproex, lithium also has been found to have greater efficacy in the prevention …
