Harmonisation Of Certain Rules Relating To The Mortgages And Maritime Liens In Slovakia With International Standards, Matej Dostal
Harmonisation Of Certain Rules Relating To The Mortgages And Maritime Liens In Slovakia With International Standards, Matej Dostal
World Maritime University Dissertations
The dissertation is a study of ship mortgages as a means of ship financing and maritime liens being closely linked with and affecting this banking security. It is based on investigation of legislation governing maritime liens and mortgages in legal systems of different developed maritime nations and three international conventions dealing with these matters. The first part of the second chapter briefly outlines the possibilities of ship financing, showing that mortgage loans are still broadly used and very much preferred. The second part compares the differences between mortgages in the common law system and hypothecs in the civil law system, …

Pre-Commitment Vs. Flexibility : Uncertainty And Distribution Reform In P.R. China, Kong Wing, Clement Chow
Pre-Commitment Vs. Flexibility : Uncertainty And Distribution Reform In P.R. China, Kong Wing, Clement Chow
Hong Kong Institute of Business Studies Working Paper Series
The Chinese economic reform is remarkably different from the East European reforms in which the Chinese model emphasizes competition over privatization. This paper explains why the Chinese distribution reform is successful, although the Chinese government has made no attempt in privatizing her inefficient state-owned enterprises. By extending Coughlan's (1 985) price competition model to endogenize the pre-commitment versus flexibility decision, it is shown that reducing uncertainty can encourage enterprises to pre-commit their investment which allows further development of the retail sectors. This results supports the gradual pace of distribution reform policy of China. By contrast, the 'renolutionary' East European model …

Central Bank Of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin, December 1996, Central Bank Of Nigeria
CBN Statistical Bulletin
Financial data is compiled from documents like balance sheets and financial statements to meet legal and administrative requirements, rather than economic analysis. The Finance and Accounts Department prepares the CBN accounting balance sheet data for the Research Department, while the Financial Statistics Office compiles the analytical CBN balance sheet. Monetary authorities and deposit money banks consolidate accounts to produce monetary survey accounts. Monthly interest rate returns compute weighted average lending and deposit interest rates, and deposit rates are computed for various maturities. Clearing house statistics show the number and value of cheques cleared within the commercial banking system, reflecting the …

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The purpose of this study is to explore the processes of social polarization, an increasing gap between the rich and poor, in Jefferson County, Kentucky, to determine the spatial characteristics involved and to investigate useful methodological tools. I argue that social polarization processes are evident in Jefferson County, and I attempt to describe and analyze the emerging spatial characteristics of polarization in the study area. The study area comprises the thirteen market areas of Jefferson County, which were broken down into 3 socioeconomic regions based on the natural breaks of market area median household income. Each market area is analyzed …
The Low-Income Consumer By Alwitt Linda F And Donley Thomas D. California, Sage, 1996., Mithileshwar Jha
The Low-Income Consumer By Alwitt Linda F And Donley Thomas D. California, Sage, 1996., Mithileshwar Jha
IIMB Management Review
The book under review focuses on the low income group or the poor as consumers. The low income consumer in general is neglected by commercial marketers as well as marketing academics. Even politicians who glorify the poor for their own ends tend to ignore them, especially when it comes to looking at their standards of living and their existence as consumers. However, the sheer number of the low-income category, even in the context of developed economies such as the US, makes them a formidable group. With growing education, awareness and efforts of social organisations and activists, low income consumers have …

The Generalized War Of Attrition, Jeremy I. Bulow, Paul D. Klemperer
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
We generalize the War of Attrition model to allow for N + K firms competing for N prizes. Two special cases are of particular interest. First, if firms continue to pay their full costs after dropping out (as in a standard-setting context), each firm’s exit time is independent both of K and of the actions of other players. Second, in the limit in which firms pay no costs after dropping out (as in a natural-oligopoly problem), the field is immediately reduced to N + 1 firms. Furthermore, we have perfect sorting, so it is always the K -1 lowest-value players …
Promises Promises, John Geanakoplos
Promises Promises, John Geanakoplos
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
In the classical general equilibrium model, agents keep all their promises, every good is traded, and competition prevents any agent from earning superior returns on investments in financial markets. In this paper I introduce the age-old problem of broken promises into the general equilibrium model, and I find that a new market dynamic emerges. Given the legal system and institutions, market forces of supply and demand will establish the collateral levels which are required to secure promises. Since physical collateral will typically be scarce, these collateral levels will be set so low that there is bound to be some default. …

Household Saving: Micro Theories And Micro Facts, Martin Browning, Annamaria Lusardi
Household Saving: Micro Theories And Micro Facts, Martin Browning, Annamaria Lusardi
Dartmouth Scholarship
In this survey, we review the recent theoretical and empirical literature on household saving and consumption. The discussion is structured around a list of motives for saving and how well the standard theory captures these motives. We show that almost all of the motives for saving that have been suggested in the informal saving literature can be captured in the standard optimizing model. Particular attention is given to recent work on the precautionary motive and its implications for saving and consumption behavior. We also discuss the "behavioral" or "psychological" approach that eschews the use of standard optimization techniques and focuses …

A Community Divided: Coping With A Locally Unwanted Land Use, Robert H. Hamblen
A Community Divided: Coping With A Locally Unwanted Land Use, Robert H. Hamblen
Muskie School Capstones and Dissertations
Locally Unwanted Land Uses constitute a phenomenon peculiar to twentieth century industrialized countries. LULUs, as they have become known, are a facility or development that is perceived by citizens, communities, regions, or states as undesireable, so much so that effort and resources sufficient to end the threat of the facility being built in a location that will significantly impact those citizens, communities, regions, or states will be expended. This scenario has been replayed time and again in the country and others, in response to uses such as halfway houses, generating plants, and landfills.

Bayesian Posterior Distributions In Limited Information Analysis Of The Simultaneous Equations Model Using The Jeffreys’ Prior, John C. Chao, Peter C.B. Phillips
Bayesian Posterior Distributions In Limited Information Analysis Of The Simultaneous Equations Model Using The Jeffreys’ Prior, John C. Chao, Peter C.B. Phillips
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
This paper studies the use of the Jeffreys’ prior in Bayesian analysis of the simultaneous equations model (SEM). Exact representations are obtained for the posterior density of the structural coefficient beta in canonical SEM’s with two endogenous variables. For the general case with m endogenous variables and an unknown covariance matrix, the Laplace approximation is used to derive an analytic formula for the same posterior density. Both the exact and the approximate formulas we derive are found to exhibit Cauchy-like tails analogous to comparable results in the classical literature on LIML estimation. Moreover, in the special case of a two-equation, …
