The Curaçao North Sea Jazz: A Lustrum Churning Economic And Promotional Opportunities For Curaçao, Manuel A. Rivera, Robertico R. Croes, Kelly J. Semrad

Dick Pope Sr. Institute Publications

The experience of the first lustrum of the Curaçao North Sea Jazz Festival (CNSJF) has been nothing short of astonishing and spectacular. Since 2010, nearly 45,000 international tourists have attended the festival contributing US$75 million to the local economy. These international tourists stayed on average 6.07 days on the island and spent nearly US$263 per day. More significant is that this daily average expenditure by international tourists attending the festival was nearly four times higher than the typical tourists visiting Curaçao.

How Do Investment Horizons Matter For Corporate Policies?, Kershen Huang, Alex Petkevich Oct 2014

How Do Investment Horizons Matter For Corporate Policies?, Kershen Huang, Alex Petkevich

HCBE Faculty Presentations

We examine the relation between institutions’ investment horizons on firms’ financing and investment decisions. Firms with larger short-term institutional ownership use less debt financing and invest more in corporate liquidity. In contrast, firms with larger long-term institutional ownership use more internal funds, use less external equity financing, and preserve investments in long-term assets. These results are driven primarily by the informational differences among institutions. We argue that short-term (long-term) institutions collect and use value-neutral (value-enhancing) information.

Under The Rust Belt Revealing Innovation In Northeast Ohio, Thomas Bacher

University of Akron Press Publications

Many areas of the Midwest faced economic challenges after large manufacturing industries, that once operated with three shifts, cut back or went out of business completely. Northeast Ohio was not immune to this downturn and experienced major declines in its population base and tax revenue streams. How could the area recover? This work looks at the post-manufacturing business climate in Northeast Ohio whose major cities, Cleveland, Akron, and Youngstown, were faced with re-inventing themselves and their industrial bases. Using an interview format, the book details how entrepreneurs saw opportunities to develop services and products in the area. Their stories illuminate …
