    GLOBAL JOURNAL OF BUSINESS RESEARCH ♦ Volume 1 ♦ Number 2 ♦ 2007 THE SELECTION OF THE DISCOUNT RATE IN ESTIMATING LOSS GIVEN DEFAULT Lucia Gibilaro, University of Bergamo-Italy Gianluca Mattarocci, University of Rome “Tor Vergata”- Italy ABSTRACT Loss Given Default (henceforth the LGD) is the ratio of losses to exposure at default. It includes the loss of principal, the carrying costs of non-performing loans and workout expenses. In light of the management and regulatory advances regarding LGD, this paper addresses the topic of choosing the proper rate to estimate the current value of recoveries. By means of a review of the available literature on LGD, the impacts of different solutions for the discount rate (contractual rate, risk-free rate and single-factor approaches) on the variability of LGD are analyzed and compared. In order to understand the influence of market constraints from both the static and dynamic standpoints, the paper studies the methodologies for the selection of the discount rate. Considering the limitations of the approaches found in both academic and operational literature, the paper proposes a multi-factor model to measure the discount rate based on systemic and specific factors. These factors, in light of the aggregate empirical evidence, can serve as explanations for the variability of LGD. INTRODUCTION hen a debtor enters into the state of insolvency, the lender changes his primary approach from that of debtor to collector. The goal becomes to initiate the set of activities that will originate Wthe maximum positive cash flows in the recovery process. The Loss Given Default (henceforth the LGD) is the amount of losses in the case of default and it represents an important management variable for any financial intermediary (Carey, 1998).

The Freiberg Museum (A.

In addition there will be a new exhibition about “Historical Diamonds”. The situation of geosciences in Berlin is is more and more difficult, as H.J. Bautsch (NHMB) and S. Herting-Agthe (TU) stated.

Velodrome modern memiliki bentuk trek oval yang terdiri dari dua trek lengkung setengah lingkaran yang dihubungkan dengan dua trek lurus dengan kemiringan lintasan trek. Velodrome biasanya hanya digunakan sebagai lintasan trek kompetisi balap sepeda. Selain saat lomba, para pesepeda dapat berlatih di lintasan trek velodrome. B. Definisi One Stop Service Center One Stop Service Center, dalam situs Queen Collage (2014), merupakan suatu area khusus berisi fasilitas-fasilitas yang dapat mewadahi segala hal yang berhubungan dengan suatu kegiatan.

Sejarah Sepeda Sepeda, menurut Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia dalam Wikipedia (2013), adalah kendaraan beroda dua atau tiga, mempunyai setang, tempat duduk, dan sepasang pengayuh yg digerakkan kaki untuk menjalankannya. Dalam Ensiklopedia Columbia, nenek moyang sepeda diperkirakan berasal dari Perancis. Menurut sejarah, negeri itu sudah sejak awal abad ke-18 mengenal alat transportasi roda dua yang dinamai velocipede. Bertahun-tahun, velocipede menjadi satu-satunya istilah yang merujuk hasil rancang bangun kendaraan dua roda. Yang pasti, konstruksinya belum mengenal besi. Modelnya pun masih sangat "primitif".

    Epidemiology of AIDS and Tuberculosis1 MAMMADE LOURDESGARCIA GARC~A,~ Josh LUIS VALDESPINO G~MEz,~ MAMMACECILIA GARCIA SANCHO,~ REY ARTURO SALCEDOALVAREZ,~FERNANDO ZACA~~AS,~ & JAIME SEP~JLVEDAAMOR~ 444 This article reviews literature on the epidemiology, pafhogenicify, and control of HIV and Mycobacterium tuberculosis coinfecfion. Regarding pafkogenicify, immune sysfem de- feriorafion makes HIV-infected people more likely to develop active tuberculosis on prima y or secondary exposure to the bacillus or to suffer reactivation of lafenf infections, and fo experience considerably higher rates of exfrapulmona y manifesfafions, relapses, and deafk. Regarding epidemiology, as of 1990 there were an esfimafed 3 million people coinfecfed with HIV and M. tuberculosis, with some 300 000 active tuberculosis cases and 120 OOO- 150 000 tuberculosis deaths occurring annually among fkose coinfecfed. Over 500 000 coin- fecfed people are thought to reside in the Americas, over 400 000 of them in Latin America. In general, the impacf of coinfecfion is evident. Relafively kigk and increasing prevalences of HIV infection have been defected among tuberculosis patients around fke world, and tuberculosis has become a frequent complication of AIDS cases. Moreover, there is no longer any doubt fkaf coinfecfion obsfrucfs tuberculosis prevenfion and control. Among other things, it affecfs BCG vaccination policies, suggesfs fke need to administer preventive ckemopro- pkylaxis fo HIV-infected individuals at higk risk of harboring or contracting tuberculosis infections, and complicates both defection and freafment of acfive tuberculosis cases. The recent proliferafion of M. tuberculosis strains resisfanf to multiple drugs, most notably in fke United States, compounds the problem. Tuberculosis prevention and control are still technically and economically feasible.
