  • Organizational Forms in Professional Cycling – Efficiency Issues of the UCI Pro Tour
    Organizational Forms in Professional Cycling – Efficiency Issues of the UCI Pro Tour Luca Rebeggiani§ * Davide Tondani DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 345 First Version: August 2006 This Version: July 2007 ISSN: 0949–9962 ABSTRACT: This paper gives a first economic approach to pro cycling and analyses the changes induced by the newly introduced UCI Pro Tour on the racing teams’ behaviour. We develop an oligopolistic model starting from the well known Cournot framework to analyse if the actual setting of the UCI Pro Tour leads to a partially unmeant behaviour of the racing teams. In particular, we show that the blamed regional concentration of their race participation depends on a lack of incentives stemming from the licence assignation procedure. Our theo- retical results are supported by empirical data concerning the performance of the racing teams in 2005 and 2006. As a recommendation for future improvements, we derive from the model the need for a relegation system for racing teams. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: Der Aufsatz stellt die erste ökonomische Analyse des professionellen Radsports dar. Er analysiert insbesondere die Anreizwirkungen der neuen UCI Pro Tour auf Teams und Fahrer. Ausgehend von dem bekannten Cournot-Ansatz entwickeln wir ein einfaches Oligopol-Modell, um zu untersuchen, ob die der- zeitige Pro Tour-Organisation zu einem unerwünschten Verhalten der Teilnehmer führt. Wir zeigen, dass insbe- sondere das Problem der geographischen Konzentration der Rennteilnahmen der Teams von den mangelnden Anreizen abhängt, die vom jetzigen Lizenzvergabesystem ausgehen. Unsere theoretischen Ergebnisse werden durch empirische Daten aus der Pro Tour 2005 und 2006 gestützt. Als Empfehlung für zukünftige Entwicklun- gen leiten wir aus dem Modell die Notwendigkeit einer Öffnung der Pro Tour ab, mit Auf- und Abstiegsmög- lichkeiten für Rennteams.

  • The Effect of Acquisition Announcements on Stock Returns of Acquiring Firms
    A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of an International Master in Finance from the NOVA – School of Business and Economics and a Professional Master in Finance from the Fundação Getulio Vargas – São Paulo School of Economics THE EFFECT OF ACQUISITION ANNOUNCEMENTS ON STOCK RETURNS OF ACQUIRING FIRMS: A SHORT- AND LONG-TERM STUDY FOR DEVELOPED AND EMERGING COUNTRIES FOCUSING ON DOMESTIC AND CROSS-BORDER ACQUISITIONS AND THE IMPACT OF INSTITUTIONAL ENVIRONMENT Florian Otto NOVA SBE Student numbers: 3363 & 29365 FGV-EESP Student number: 338939 A Project carried out on the Double Degree EESP-FGV, under supervision of: Professor Rafael Zambrana (NOVA SBE, Lisbon, Portugal) Professor Joelson Sampaio (EESP-FGV, São Paulo, Brazil) Date: 10th September 2017 Abstract This paper uses an empirical event-study approach to investigate the effect of acquisition announcements on the share price of bidding firms. By using a globalised set of acquirers from 14 different markets, this work aims to develop an understanding of the impact of acquisition announcements on developed- and emerging-market acquirers. The sample contains 624 acquisition announcements with target firms located throughout the world between 1997 and 2015. The results contradict the conventional wisdom that developed-market acquirers generally experience losses. Both emerging-market and developed-market bidders gain significantly in the short term. Moreover, for developed-market acquirers, the announcement of cross-border acquisitions (CBAs) yields higher abnormal returns than the announcement of domestic acquisitions. On the other hand, emerging-market bidders gain from announcing domestic acquisitions, and lose substantially when publishing news about CBAs.

A fluorescent blue-ray optical system with a Compact disc polycarbonate scan disc was developed to detect P. falciparum-infected red blood cells (Pf-iRBCs), and nine Highly sensitive detection samples could be analyzed simultaneously. The cultured P. falciparum strain 3D7 was used to examine the Plasmodium falciparum potential of the system for diagnosing malaria. After an RBC suspension had been applied to the disc, the cells Fluorescent blue-ray optical system were dispersed on the disc by rotation. During the 10 min standing period to allow the RBCs to settle on the disc surface, the cells were simultaneously stained with nuclear fluorescence staining dye Hoechst 34580, which was previously adsorbed on the disc surface.
