يعتبر التضخم النقدي من أهم الظواهر المعاصرة التي تعاني منها معظم الاقتصاديات العالمية، ولعل هذه الظاهرة أصبحت هاجس جميع الإقتصاديين الذين يحاولون الوصول إلى أدنى المستويات التي يمكن من خلالها القول إن الاقتصاد تعافى من التضخم، وترافق التضخم مجموعة من المشاكل الإجتماعية والسياسية لأثاره في إعادة توزيع الدخل والثروة وتسببه في عدم عدالة كبيرة في الوجهة الإجتماعية إذ يؤدي إلى زيادة الفجوة بين الطبقات الإجتماعية وكذلك إلى انحسار نشاط بعض الطبقات وخصوصا الطبقة الوسطى والى صعود بعض الطبقات كالمضاربين والسماسرة وبذلك تزداد الهوة بين أصحاب الدخول المرتفعة من جانب وأصحاب الدخول المنخفضة من جانب أخر. ويهدف البحث إلى تحليل اثر …

يعد التغيير التنظيمي من سمات المؤسسات الحديثة وهذا التغيير لا يكون عفوي بل تفرضه الظروف المحيطة بالمؤسسة، فعليه فقباء المؤسسات يعتبر رهان والشغل الشاغل لدى القياديين الإداريين،فبهذا نقول بأن نجاح التغيير التنظيمي في المؤسسة لا يكون إلا بنمط قيادي فعال، فقد تتشابه أهداف المؤسسات في التغيير التنظيمي لكن نتائج التغيير تختلف باختلاف الأنماط القيادية في المؤسسات.فمن خلال هذا نهدف من المقال إلى إبراز دور النمط القيادي في عملية التغيير التنظيمي، بالإضافة إلى دور المتغيرات الشخصية( الجنس، العمر، المستوى التعليمي،الخبرة المهنية،المركز الوظيفي) لذا الأفراد في عملية التغيير التنظيمي.

Mergers & Abenomics: The Determinants Of M&A In Japan's New Economy, Ethan S. Hallberg
CMC Senior Theses
This paper investigates the influence of various macroeconomic variables on Japan’s merger and acquisition (M&A) activity, both in terms of total deal value and total number of deals. Looking at monthly data from June 1997 to December 2013, I use econometric time-series analysis to find that: First, total deal value per month is not well explained by our macroeconomic variables, but about half of the variation in number of deals per month can be explained by our dataset. Second, the most important determinant in the total number of deals per month during our period is the level of national debt, …
Determinants Of Public Funding For Professional Athletic Venues,

Determinants Of Public Funding For Professional Athletic Venues, John K. Holland
CMC Senior Theses
This paper examines the financing of professional athletic venues and why certain franchises are able to obtain high percentages of overall stadium funding from the public. Existing literature shows the negligible effect of new athletic venues on the local economy and per capita income, and therefore the benefits from such a project are largely intangible. I use an ordinary least squares regression and show that the more successful a team is the less public funding they tend to receive. I also find that broad city statistics do not represent the specific areas that policy makers consider when making decisions about …
Bitcoin: Is Cryptocurrency Viable?,

Bitcoin: Is Cryptocurrency Viable?, Austin Hill
CMC Senior Theses
Bitcoin, a virtual currency invented in 2009, was created as a peer-to-peer currency that eliminated the need for a third party authority, such as banks or government, to be involved in monetary transactions. Having no intrinsic value but carrying no government guarantees relegates bitcoin and its competitors to the perpetual role of investment opportunity, deriving value not from a practical use, but from a nominal, dollar value. This will continue to be the case until the U.S. Government sanctions virtual currency as a viable store of value. Because the dollar plays such a large role in the world’s economy, other …

The Rise Of Private Equity In China: A Case Study Of Successful And Failed Foreign Private Equity Investments, June Kim
CMC Senior Theses
China's transition from a planned economy to a market economy has brought about remarkably rapid economic growth. Year after year, China boasted of double-digit growth rates since the early 1990s. Attracted by China's so-called "economic miracle," foreign investors began entering the Chinese market hoping to benefit from the country's vast array of financial opportunities. Private equity, particularly a leveraged buyout, was an unfamiliar concept in China until late 1990s. Now China has become the most attractive destination among emerging markets for private equity investment. Global private equity firms are currently raising billions of dollars for funds focusing on China because …

The Liberalization Of Shibor And The Economic Fundamentals Of House Price Growth In China, Michael J. Mavredakis
CMC Senior Theses
This paper uses data collected from the National Interbank Funding Center of China, the People’s Bank of China, the National Bureau of Statistics, and Bloomberg starting in October 2006 through 2013 to test the economic fundamental’s affecting the housing market in Shanghai, particularly interest rates. This study finds that the 6- month duration Shibor has a negative and significant correlation with house price growth in Shanghai when lagged 4 months. The analysis continues by examining other economic fundamentals affecting house price growth, finding growth in inflation, the money supply and Shanghai real estate investment to have significant, positive relationships with …

Global Expansion Of National Securities Laws: Extraterritoriality And Jurisdictional Conflicts, Junsun Park
The University of New Hampshire Law Review
[Excerpt] “As securities fraud has grown increasingly transnational, it has become necessary to expand the reach of anti-fraud provisions to persons and entities participating in global securities markets. So far, however, no single antifraud provision exists to govern the entire global marketplace. Although each country strives to combat international securities fraud by using its own regulatory regime, problems can develop when extraterritorial application of national securities laws leads to regulatory overlapping or conflicts. In light of these problems, it is necessary to set forth clear guidelines for determining whether national securities laws can apply extraterritorially and, if so, how far …
Three Essays On Diversification Strategy, Diversification Performance, And Corporate Misconduct,

Three Essays On Diversification Strategy, Diversification Performance, And Corporate Misconduct, Brandon Charles Lee Morris
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The first essay investigates the relationship between diversification strategy and firm performance in the U.S. property-liability insurance industry. Prior literature has evaluated the effect of total diversification on insurer performance; however, there is an absence of evidence on the effect of diversification strategy for multi-line insurers. Theory suggests that related diversifiers should benefit from economies of scope while unrelated diversifiers should benefit from uncorrelated earnings streams. We test for the net effect of diversification strategy and find that relatedness negatively impacts accounting performance. However, we find that the relatedness penalty is confined to stock insurers while mutual insurers' profitability appears …

Food Imports Under Foreign Exchange Constraints In The Cfa’S Franc Zone Of Sub-Saharan Africa (Ssa), Seydina Ousmane Sene
Theses and Dissertations--Agricultural Economics
To respond to the high imported food prices in their domestic markets, net food importing countries in the Communauté Financière Africaine (CFA) zone[1] are adjusting their import tariffs and homologate domestic prices of imported commodities such as rice, wheat, maize, and sugar. This research uses a multivariate specification of error correction model (VECM) of estimation to investigate the link between food imports, world price index of rice, wheat, maize and sugar, real effective exchange rates, domestic food production, GDP, and trade openness in the short and long run. The data are on each homogenous commodity from 1969 to 2012. …

The Choice Of Airport, Airline, And Departure Date And Time: Estimating The Demand For Flights, Diego Escobari, Cristhian Mellado
Economics and Finance Faculty Publications
This chapter estimates the demand for flights in an international air travel market using a unique dataset with detailed information not only on flight choices but also on contemporaneous prices and characteristics of all the alternative non-booked flights. The estimation strategy employs a simple discrete choice random utility model that we use to analyze how choices and its response to prices depend on the departing airport, the identity of the carrier, and the departure date and time. The results show that a 10% increase in prices in a 100-seat aircraft throughout a 100-period selling season decreases quantity demanded by 7.7 …

Ceo Networks And Bank Risk Taking, Dave Jackson, Fang Fang
Economics and Finance Faculty Publications
We investigate the impact of CEO networks on bank risk during the recent financial crisis and test whether CEO networks have a bearing on CEO insider trading at the onset of the crisis. We construct a unique dataset of CEO networks based on 97 bank CEOs' social ties, which allows us to assign a Social Network (SN) score to each CEO. Our results provide evidence that CEO networks in 2006, the year prior to the financial crisis, are related to bank risk-taking ex post during the financial crisis. We also find that after controlling for bank and other CEO characteristics, …

The Deadweight Loss Of Equity-Based Compensation, Jessica Pence
CMC Senior Theses
In order to maximize shareholder value, firms attempt to align the incentives of the executives with those of the shareholders by giving them equity as a portion of their compensation package. The terms associated with this equity compensation forces the executives to hold undiversified portfolios, resulting in a sizeable deadweight loss. This paper uses the formula developed by Meulbroek (2001)1 to calculate the dollar value of this deadweight loss, in order to quantify the costs associated with equity-based compensation. We find that the 56 executives in our data set have a combined deadweight loss of $70 billion, and that on …
Listing Requirements Lose Ipo-Screening Functions: Evidence From The Emerging Growth Enterprise Market Of China,

Listing Requirements Lose Ipo-Screening Functions: Evidence From The Emerging Growth Enterprise Market Of China, Hai Long, Zhaoyong Zhang
Research outputs 2014 to 2021
Using two multivariate regression models based on prior studies, this paper aims to examine whether the listing requirements of the GEMC are able to help the exchange to screen high quality IPO firms. It suggests that the approved IPO companies have better performances than failed ones, but listing requirements of the GEMC are unable to screen high quality issuers to go public, because the majority of listed companies performed poorly rather than better after their IPOs. This result is against previous findings that regard an IPO market as a screening device.
The Gathering Storm: Restructuring Sovereign Contingent Liabilities,

The Gathering Storm: Restructuring Sovereign Contingent Liabilities, Lee C. Buchheit, Mitu Gulati
Faculty Scholarship
The contingent liabilities of a sovereign, such as guarantees of the debts of third parties, can normally be kept off the balance sheet of the sovereign guarantor. That is their charm. As the debt to GDP ratios of many developed countries approach red-zone levels, contingent liabilities are increasingly being favored over direct, on-the-balance-sheet, borrowings.
But what happens if a country carrying large contingent liabilities needs to restructure its debt? The borrower dare not leave its contingent claims out of the restructuring. To do so would risk undermining the financial predicates of the sovereign’s economic recovery program should the beneficiaries of …

The Effect On Stockholder Wealth Of Product Recalls And Government Action: The Case Of Toyota's Accelerator Pedal Recall, Jayendra Gokhale, Raymond M. Brooks, Victor J. Tremblay
Accounting, Economics, Finance, and Information Sciences - Daytona Beach
We analyze the effect of Toyota’s faulty accelerator pedal on stockholder wealth. Using the event study methodology, we show that a major recall in January of 2010 caused the company’s cumulative abnormal returns to fall by 19%. Continued concerns that Toyota was unable to identify and adequately fix the problem induced the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to conduct its own investigation in March, 2010. The results of this government investigation exonerated the company and caused Toyota’s cumulative abnormal returns to rise by almost 9%. The Toyota case provides an opportunity to study a product recall with both company error …
