Project Financial Distress: Early Signs And Ways To Overcome, Dimitrios V. Siskos Sep 2018

Project Financial Distress: Early Signs And Ways To Overcome, Dimitrios V. Siskos

Publications

Financial distress is a hot topic these days in finance and the project’s health is very important for investors as well as management. Investors posit money in those projects which are financially healthy as the risk of default is minimized for them, while management must be able to identify causes of distress which can be controlled by taking different measures (Khurshid, 2013). However, the fact that many projects encounter financial distress requires further investigation. This paper deals with the elements of project financial distress as its major signs and sources as well as it suggests ways to eliminate the consequences. …

Physician Communication Attitudes And Success In Patient-Doctor Communication Amongst Medical School Students, Silva Topchyan, Priyanka Joshi, Hananeh Derakhshan Sep 2018

Physician Communication Attitudes And Success In Patient-Doctor Communication Amongst Medical School Students, Silva Topchyan, Priyanka Joshi, Hananeh Derakhshan

LSAMP Poster Presentations

The aim of this research paper is to assess the issue of difficulty in verbal communication amongst medical practitioners and their patients. In recent years, the push for efficiency and speed has caused physicians to decrease the time they spend with their patients. This push for efficiency has caused a strain in the healthy development of physician-patient relationships. Therefore, hospitals and clinics are suffering from a decrease of patient satisfaction and loss of customers and revenue. Previous studies have been done to assess the use of implementing techniques from the hospitality industry and having a more humanistic approach to health …

Does A Student-Athletes' Socioeconomic Background Matter?, Carl E. Gilmore Jr. Sep 2018

Does A Student-Athletes' Socioeconomic Background Matter?, Carl E. Gilmore Jr.

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This research focuses on college football players from low socioeconomic backgrounds (i.e., attended a Title I High School) and examines whether they are more likely to experience athletic success and influence the performance of the college football programs they attend relative to other student-athletes. The results show that, over the period 2010-2016, Title I players are more likely to be drafted or play in the NFL than other student-athletes. In addition, teams with more Title I players on their roster appear to reap some benefits. On one hand, Title I heavy rosters are associated with better conference records and are …

The Impact Of Single-Family Rental Reits On Regional Housing Markets: A Case Study Of Nashville, Tn, Ken Chilton, Robert Mark Silverman, Rabia Chaudhry, Chihaungji Wang Sep 2018

The Impact Of Single-Family Rental Reits On Regional Housing Markets: A Case Study Of Nashville, Tn, Ken Chilton, Robert Mark Silverman, Rabia Chaudhry, Chihaungji Wang

Public Administration Faculty Research

The U.S. Congress authorized the creation of real estate investment trusts (REITs) in 1960 so companies could develop publically traded real estate investment portfolios. REITs focus on commercial property, retail property, and rental property. During the last decade, REITs became more active in regional housing markets across the U.S. Single-family rental (SFR) REITs have grown tremendously, buying up residential properties across the country. In some regional housing markets, SFR REITs own noticeable shares of single-family homes. In those settings, SFR REITs take large numbers of housing units off of real estate markets where homeownership transactions occur and manage these properties …


Economics 101: Tariffs And Trade, Rod Mabry, Manuel Reyes-Loya Sep 2018

Economics 101: Tariffs And Trade, Rod Mabry, Manuel Reyes-Loya

Hibbs Brief

Basic economics tells us trade with others benefits all. That is the basis for us being economists and you being a barber, banker, manager, or oil man. We all specialize according to our talents, work preferences, and available resources. We then work hard and trade the goods and services we produce. Specializing, rather than producing our own food, our own clothes and our own houses, allows us to become much more efficient producers. That added efficiency results in much higher total output, lower prices and higher incomes.

Stock Buyback Announcements: An Examination Of Abnormal Returns In Stock Price & Credit Default Swaps For S&P100 Companies, Alan L. Delfavero

Doctoral Dissertations (DBA)

This event study examines the short-run effect of stock buyback announcements on stock price and credit default swaps (CDS) exclusively for mega capitalization S&P 100 companies. The research sample consists of 53 S&P 100 companies and includes 133 buyback announcement events occurring between September 2011 and May 2018. The study utilizes the market model to estimate expected returns and to compute abnormal returns (AR) for equity and abnormal change (AC) in CDS. Based on an initial analysis, it’s determined that there is a statistically significant AR and cumulative abnormal return (CAR) for stock price, and a significant AC in CDS, …
