WHAT IS TIZE PURPOSE OF YOIJR TESTIMONY IN THIS PROCEEDING? 14 A. I have been asked by the Kentucky Office of Attorney General to provide an opinion as to 15 the cost of common equity capital for Kentucky Power Company ("KPC" or "Company") and to 16 evaluate KPC's rate of return testimony in this proceeding. 17 Q. PLEASE REVIEW YOUR COST OF CAPITAL RETURN FINDINGS. 18 A. I have arrived at a cost of equity capital of 8.75% for the Company by applying the 19 Discounted Cash Flow ("DCF") and Capital Asset Pricing Model ("CAPMY)approaches to two 20 groups of electric utility companies. Mr. Robert Herrkes is testifying as to the appropriate -2- 1 capitalization and senior equity cost rates for the Company. IJsing my equity cost rate of 8.75% and 2 Mr. Henkes’ capitalization ratios and senior capital cost rates, an overall fair rate of return of 6.8 1 % 3 is indicated for the Company. This is summarized in Exhibit-(JRW-1). 4 Q. PLEASE DISCUSS CAPITAL COSTS LN TODAY’S iYL4RKETtS. 5 A. Capital cost rates for 1J.S. corporations are currently at their lowest levels in more than 6 four decades. Corporate capital cost rates are determined by the level of interest rates and the 7 risk premium demanded by investors to buy the debt and equity capital of corporate issuers. The 8 base level of interest rates in the US economy is indicated by the rates on ten-year U.S. Treasury 9 bonds. The rates are provided in the graph below from 1953 to the present. As indicated, prior 10 to the secular decline in rates that began in 2002, the 10-year Treasury had not been in the 4-5 11 percent range since the 1960s. 12 Yields on Ten-Year Treasury Bonds 13 1953-Present 1 16.0 -I 14.0 -- 12.0 10.0 8.0 6.0 4.0 2.0 0.0 14 15 -3- 1 The second base component of the corporate capital cost rates is the risk premium. The 2 risk premium is the return premium required by investors to purchase riskier securities. Risk 3 premiums for bonds are the yield differentials between different bond classes as rated by 4 agencies such as Moody's and Standard and Poor's. The graph below provides the yield 5 differential between Baa-rate corporate bonds and 10-year Treasuries. This yield differential 6 peaked at 350 basis points (RPs) in 2002 and has declined significantly since that time. This 7 is an indication that the market price of risk has declined and therefore the risk premium has 8 declined in recent years. 9 Corporate Bond Yield Spreads 10 Baa-Rated Corporate Bond Yield Minus Ten-Year Treasury Bond Yield 11 12 Source: hnp://www.treas.gov/ofiices/domestic-finance/debt-m~agemen~interest-rate/index"html 13 14 The equity risk premium is the return premium required to purchase stocks as 15 opposed to bonds. Since the equity risk premium is not readily observable in the markets (as -4- 1 are bond risk premiums) and there are alternative approaches to estimating the equity 2 premium, it is the subject of much debate. One way to estimate the equity risk premium is to 3 compare the mean returns on bonds and stocks over long historic periods. Measured in this 4 manner, the equity risk premium has been in the 5-7 percent range. But recent studies by 5 leading academics indicate the fonvard-lookmg equity risk premium is in the 3-4 percent 6 range. These authors indicate that historic equity risk premiums are upwardly biased 7 measures of expected equity risk premiums. Jeremy Siegel, a Wharton finance professor and 8 author of the popular book Stocks for the Long Term, published a study entitled “The 9 Shrinking Equity Risk Premium.”’ He concludes: 10 The degree of the equity risk premium calculated .from data estimated 11 .from 1926 is unlikely to persist in the future. The real return on 12 fixed-income assets is likely to be significantly higher than estimated 13 on earlier data. This is confmed by the yields available on Treasury 14 index-linked securities, which currently exceed 4%. Furthermore, 15 despite the acceleration in earnings growth, the return on equities is 16 likely to fall from its historical level due to the very high level of 17 equity prices relative to fundamentals. 18 I 9 Even Alan Greenspan, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, indicated in an October 20 14, 1999, speech on financial risk that the fact that equity risk premiums have declined 21 during the past decade is “not in dispute.” His assessment focused on the relationship 22 between information availability and equity risk premiums. 23 There can be little doubt that the dramatic improvements in 24 information technology in recent years have altered our approach to Jeremy J. Siegel, “The Shrinking Equity Risk Premium,” The Journal of PorfoZiu Management (Fall, 1999), p. 1.5. -5- 1 risk. Some analysts perceive that information technology has 2 permanently lowered equity premiums and, hence, permanently 3 raised the prices of the collateral that underlies all financial assets. 4 5 The reason, of course, is that information is critical to the 6 evaluation of risk. The less that is known about the currmt state of 7 a market or a venture, the less the ability to project future 8 outcomes and, hence, the more tliose potential outcomes will be 9 discounted. 10 11 The rise in the availability of real-time information has reduced the 12 uncertainties and thereby lowered the variances that we employ to 13 guide portfolio decisions. At least part of the observed fall in 14 equity premiums in our economy and others over the past five 15 years does not appear to be the result of ephemeral changes in 16 perceptions. It is presumably the result of a permanent technology- 17 driven increase in information availability, which by definition 18 reduces uncertainty and therefore risk premiums. This decline is 19 most evident in equity risk premiums. It is less clear in the 20 corporate bond market, where relative supplies of corporate and 21 Treasury bonds and other factors we cannot easily identify have 22 outweighed the effects of more readily available information about 23 borrowers. 24 25 In sum, the relatively low interest rates in today’s markets as well as the lower risk premiums 26 required by investors indicate that capital costs for 1J.S. companies are the lowest in decades. In 27 addition, the 2003 tax law further lowered capital cost rates for companies. 28 Q. HOW DID THX JOBS AND GROWH TAX RELIEF RECONCIZ,IATION ACT of 29 2003 REDUCE THE COST OF CAPITAL FOR COMPANIES? 30 A. On May 28’ of 2003, President Bush signed the .Jobs and Growth Ta.x Relief Reconciliation ’ Alan Greenspan, “Measuring Financial Risk in the Twenty-First Century,” Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Conference, October 14, 1999. -6- 1 Act of2003. The primary purpose of this legislation was to reduce taxes to enhance economic 2 growth. A primary component of the new tax law was a significant reduction in the taxation of 3 corporate dividends for individuals. Dividends have been described as “double-taxed.yy First, 4 corporations pay taxes on the income they earn before they pay dividends to investors, then 5 investors pay taxes on the dividends that they receive from corporations. One of the implications 6 of the double taxation of dividends is that, all else equal, it results in a higher cost of raising 7 capital for corporations. The tax legislation reduced the effect of double taxation of dividends by 8 lowering the tax rate on dividends from the 30 percent range (the average tax bracket for 9 individuals) to 15 percent.

  • Financial Fragility and Neoliberalism in Developing Countries
    Financial Fragility and Neoliberalism in Developing Countries Andrés Blancas• Abstract The aim of this paper is to show the financial fragility dynamics in developing countries following the last theoretical advances. As an empirical application we prove that the Mexican economy has been characterized by financial fragility, mainly during the crisis terms. Financial fragility has created difficult problems for policy makers; in trying to fix it by restricted monetary and fiscal policies, they have triggered the generalized financial crises. Whereby, financial fragility can be diagnosed as an structural problem of developing countries like Mexico and a real potential risk of generalized economic crisis in the process of economic liberalization nowadays. Key Words: Economic dynamics, financial fragility, developing countries, financial crisis, monetary policy and Mexican economy JEL Classification: C61, E44, E58, F34, O5 1 Introduction The 1990s financial crises in developing and newly industrializing countries exemplify the risk of financial volatility and economic instability that has accompanied the economic liberalization and the deregulation of financial markets.

However, the crises made irruption in Mexico (1994-1995), Asia (1997- 1998), Russia, Brazil, and several other Latin American countries (1998-1999), and Argentina (2001-2002). These kinds of crises showed that there was something wrong in the so-called “emergent economies” under the new “market friendliness” environment.

  • Acevedo Opening Keynote Final
    THE ONE TRUE SUPERPOWER Elizabeth Acevedo I am thirteen and convinced, that it’s finally going to happen. No, not my menstrual period, although I’ve been waiting for that, too. I mean.... Magic. I am convinced that someone at the post office is a hater, and has returned-to-sender my Hogwarts letter. I am convinced my parents are afraid of what I’d do with immense super powers, so they haven’t put me in the right high-pressure situation to express my mutant gene. I am convinced the Mal de Ojo bracelet my grandma gave me secretly hides Dominican dragon balls, and I’m a super saiyan bruja in the making. See, I’ve watched all the TV shows, and read the books: I know the signs for magic. Just last week, I had a dream where my teeth shattered in my mouth like dropped dinner plates... and when I woke, I learned my mother’s uncle’s friend had died. And everyone knows shattered teeth dreams always mean someone’s died. So, basically, I must be able to predict the future. And yesterday, after Jessica Martinez made fun of my fat big toe in gym again, I gave her a squinty look out the corner of my eye and she tripped. OVER NOTHING. Except for my supernatural shade. And last month, after September 11 th , and the attacks at the World Trade Center Mami & I went to a candlelight vigil and when two doves were released into the sky one of them landed right on my shoulder! And I don’t know if “Dove Calling” is technically a super power, but when everyone looked at me, eyes full of wonder, I knew I could stop landslides, or battle sea monsters, one pretty pigeon at a time.

  • 1 Social and Individual Expression I the Idea Behind Expressivism As a Philosophy of Ethics Faces a Number of Different Challeng
    Social and Individual Expression I The idea behind expressivism as a philosophy of ethics faces a number of different challenges, and has a number of different choices to make as it tries to meet them. Perhaps the first is to specify what is the primitive of the theory, which will be something that is expressed, and is usually identified as a state of mind. Later in this paper, I shall suggest caution about this, but for the moment we can go along with it. Emotion was one suggestion, prescriptions are another, desires of various orders are candidates, but I prefer the less specific term ‘attitude’. One might ask why we should not go with the equally general term ‘belief’. The answer derives from the second challenge, which queries whether we have actually managed to locate a primitive suited to play its role in a substantive theory. This in turn depends on what exactly the substantive theory is trying to do, so we need to sketch an answer to that first. The need is more pressing since for some time now there have been theorists who have more or less explicitly turned their backs on the whole idea of ‘metaethics’ or theory of ethics, supposing that the only questions that should bother the philosopher come from within first-order practice, as we try to articulate our standards, to rank obligations and duties, or to relate those to utility and virtue. I think there are two broad answers to this, although they are related. The first would simply say that we want to understand our nature as creatures who go in for ethics.

Nakamura Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia Abstract In this paper I relate the measurement of intangibles to the project of measuring the sources of growth. I focus on three related and difficult areas of the measurement of national income: the measurement of new goods, the deflation of intangible investment, and the divergence between the social and private valuations of intangible assets. I argue that the economic theory and practice underlying measurement of these items is currently controversial and incomplete, and I point toward how concretely to move forward.
