An Optimal Harvesting Strategy Of A Three Species Syn-Ecosystem With Commensalism And Stochasticity, M. N. Srinivas, A. Sabarmathi, K. S. Reddy, M. A. S. Srinivas 2014 VIT University

An Optimal Harvesting Strategy Of A Three Species Syn-Ecosystem With Commensalism And Stochasticity, M. N. Srinivas, A. Sabarmathi, K. S. Reddy, M. A. S. Srinivas

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper we have studied the stability of three typical species syn-ecosystem. The system comprises of one commensal S1 and two hosts S2 and S3 . Both S2 and S2 benefit S1 without getting themselves affected either positively or adversely. Further S2 is a commensal of S3 and S3 is a host of both S1 and S2. Limited resources have been considered for all the three species in this case. The model equations of the system constitute a set of three first order non-linear ordinary differential equations. …


International City/County Management Association 1999 Revenue Estimation Survey Revisited, Benjamin Bond 2014 University of Nevada, Las Vegas

International City/County Management Association 1999 Revenue Estimation Survey Revisited, Benjamin Bond

UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

In 1899 the National Municipal League declared that it was the duty of the Mayor to submit to the Council the annual budget of current expenses of the city, for almost as long, the budgeting process has been researched (Hou, 2006). Researching budgets is important and needed but comparatively little attention has been paid to revenue forecasts or to those responsible for the generation of revenue forecasts. Professional public administrators responsible for generating revenue forecasts have largely been overlooked in research. Judging by the lack of scholarly material available in academic journals, it appears the political process in which budget …


Empirical Studies On Interest Rate Derivatives, Xudong Sun 2014 University of Nevada, Las Vegas

Empirical Studies On Interest Rate Derivatives, Xudong Sun

UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

Interest rate models are the building blocks of financial market and the interest rate derivatives market is the largest derivatives market in the world. In this dissertation, we shall focus on numerical pricing of interest rate derivatives, estimating model parameters by Kalman filter, and studying various models empirically. We shall propose a front-fixing finite element method to price the American put option under the quadratic term structure framework and compare it with a trinomial tree method and common finite element method. Numerical test results show the superiority of our front-fixing finite element method in the aspects of computing the option …


A Closer Look At The Impact Of Quantitative Easing On The Capital Markets: Garch Analysis Of The Exchange Traded Funds Market, Nicholas R. Duafala 2014 Hood College

A Closer Look At The Impact Of Quantitative Easing On The Capital Markets: Garch Analysis Of The Exchange Traded Funds Market, Nicholas R. Duafala

Undergraduate Economic Review

This paper analyzes the effects of quantitative easing (QE) on the capital markets by modeling exchange traded funds (ETFs) returns using a generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) methodology. The results show that the 10-Year Treasury yields are significant in the returns of some sectors of the economy more so than others, and the Federal Funds Futures trading volume is significant in all ETFs return volatility. The implications of these results not only provide information about the reaction of the ETF market and QE, but also provide insight for developing investment strategies.

Mutual Funds And Information Diffusion: The Role Of Country-Level Governance, Chunmei LIN, Massimo MASSA, Hong ZHANG 2014 Singapore Management University

Mutual Funds And Information Diffusion: The Role Of Country-Level Governance, Chunmei Lin, Massimo Massa, Hong Zhang

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

We hypothesize that poor country-level governance, which makes public information less reliable, induces fund managers to increase their use of semipublic information. Utilizing data from international mutual funds and stocks over the 2000-2009 period, we find that semipublic information-related stock rebalancing can be five times higher in countries with the worst quality of governance than in countries with the best. The use of semipublic information increases price informativeness but also increases information asymmetry and reduces stock liquidity. It also intensified the price impact and liquidity crunch during the recent global financial crisis.

Ceo Optimism And Incentive Compensation, Clemens A. OTTO 2014 Singapore Management University

Ceo Optimism And Incentive Compensation, Clemens A. Otto

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

I study the effect of chief executive officer (CEO) optimism on CEO compensation. Usingdata on compensation in US firms, I provide evidence that CEOs whose option exercisebehavior and earnings forecasts are indicative of optimistic beliefs receive smaller stockoption grants, fewer bonus payments, and less total compensation than their peers. Thesefindings add to our understanding of the interplay between managerial biases andremuneration and show how sophisticated principals can take advantage of optimisticagents by appropriately adjusting their compensation contracts.


Downstream Securities Regulation, Anita Krug 2014 Chicago-Kent College of Law

Downstream Securities Regulation, Anita Krug

All Faculty Scholarship

Securities regulation wears two hats. Its “upstream” side governs firms in connection with their obtaining financing in the securities markets. That is, it regulates firms’ and issuers’ offers and sales of securities, whether in public offerings to retail investors or in private offerings to institutional investors. Its “downstream” side, by contrast, governs financial services providers, who assist with investors’ activities in those markets. Their services include providing advice regarding securities investments, as investment advisers do; aggregating investors’ assets for purposes of enabling those investors to invest their assets collectively, as mutual funds do; and acting as “middlemen” between buyers and …


Women Directors On Public Company Boards: Does A Critical Mass Affect Leverage?, Cindy K. Harris 2014 Ursinus College

Women Directors On Public Company Boards: Does A Critical Mass Affect Leverage?, Cindy K. Harris

Business and Economics Faculty Publications

This study examines the relationship between corporate leverage (the ratio of total debt to total assets) and gender diversity on US public company boards, with particular focus on boards that have at least 25% women directors. Using this critical mass of women eliminates from consideration boards with lesser female representation, whose female directors may be marginalized in their contributions to board functioning and decision-making. I hypothesize that when boards have this minimum threshold of gender diversity, the influence of risk-averse female directors will impact board decisions related to financing, resulting in lower debt ratios when compared to boards with no …

Economic Impact Of The Arkansas Research And Technology Park, Katherine A. Deck, Mervin Jebaraj

Publications and Presentations

Construction of the Arkansas Research and Technology Park (ARTP) began in 2003 and operations commenced in 2004. For ten years, the ARTP has been impacting the economy of the state of Arkansas in two primary ways. First, the operation of the ARTP enabled the business expenditures of its tenants. Second, there were direct expenditures on one-time construction activities in building the infrastructure of the ARTP. This report considers the overall impact of the ARTP from the beginning of construction to 2014. Over that period, the ARTP impact has been more than a half billion dollars in the Arkansas economy.

سياسات الإستقرار الاقتصادي والتكييف الهيكلي وأثرها في مؤشرات التنمية البشرية في البلدان النامية, علي كاظم هلال

Muthanna Journal of Administrative and Economics Sciences

سعت الكثير من البلدان النامية إلى تطبيق سياسات الإستقرار الاقتصادي والتكييف الهيكلي المفروضة من صندوق النقد والبنك الدوليين خلال النصف الثاني من عقد الثمانينات من القرن الماضي ، من بينها سياسات تحرير التجارة الخارجية والانفتاح على اقتصاد السوق، سعياً منها لتحقيق جملة من الأهداف، منها زيادة معدلات النمو الاقتصادي وخفض معدلات التضخم وخفض العجز المالي في الموازنة العامة وخفض العجز في الحساب الجاري لميزان المدفوعات وخفض معدلات البطالة والمديونية الخارجية ، غير إن الواقع العملي أثبت أن تطبيق تلك السياسات قد أفضت إلى ظهور آثار اقتصادية واجتماعية سلبية على التنمية البشرية.

توظيف عوائد القطاع النفطي في الاقتصاد الجزائري, سيهام شباب

Muthanna Journal of Administrative and Economics Sciences

يعتبر القطاع النفطي المحرك الفعال للاقتصاد الجزائري ونقطة انطلاق لكل برنامج حكومي، وعليه فأي تغير في مستوياته يجعل كل رهانات البلد محل إعادة نظر، فمن جهة نجد أن كل متغيرات الميزانية خارجة عن إرادة الدولة ومن جهة أخرى تبني الحكومة إستراتيجية ترتكز في عملية تمويلها على القطاع البترولي، الأمر الذي يؤدي إلى إمكانية تعرض الاقتصاد الجزائري إلى اختلالات هيكلية، وخير دليل على ذلك خبرة الثمانينات وما تعرض له البلد من أزمات اقتصادية حادة لا تزال عملية معالجتها مستمرة إلى يومنا هذا، حيث قامت الجزائر بإعادة النظر في نهجها التنموي وتطبيق إصلاحات اقتصادية جذرية.الكلمات المفتاحية: أسعار البترول، عوائد النفط، قطاع المحروقات، …
