  • Determinants of Financial Capital Use Review of Theories and Implications for Rural Businesses

    Determinants of Financial Capital Use Review of Theories and Implications for Rural Businesses

    No. 19, February 2012 Jarmila Curtiss Determinants of Financial Capital Use Review of theories and implications for rural businesses ABSTRACT This paper presents a review of financial economics literature and offers a comprehensive discussion and systematisation of determinants of financial capital use. In congruence with modern financial literature, it is acknowledged here that real and financial capital decisions are interdependent. While the fundamental role of the (unconstrained) demand for real capital in the demand for finance is acknowledged, the deliverable focuses on three complementary categories of the determinants of financial capital use: i) capital market imperfections; ii) factors mitigating these imperfections or their impacts; and iii) firm- and sector-related factors, which alter the severity of financial constraints and their effects. To address the question of the optimal choice of financial instruments, theories of firm capital structure are reviewed. The deliverable concludes with theory-derived implications for agricultural and non-agricultural rural business’ finance. FACTOR MARKETS Working Papers present work being conducted within the FACTOR MARKETS research project, which analyses and compares the functioning of factor markets for agriculture in the member states, candidate countries and the EU as a whole, with a view to stimulating reactions from other experts in the field.

Contingent-Claim-Based Expected Stock Returns Abstract We develop and test a parsimonious contingent claims model for cross-sectional returns of stock portfolios formed on market leverage, book-to-market equity, asset growth rate, and equity size. Since stocks are residual claims on firms’ assets that generate operating cash flows, stock returns are cash flow rates scaled by the sen- sitivities of stocks to cash flows. Our model performs well because the stock-cash flow sensitivities contain economic information. Value stocks, high-leverage stocks and low-asset-growth stocks are more sensitive to cash flows than growth stocks, low- leverage stocks and high-asset-growth stocks, particularly in recessions when default probabilities are high. Keywords: Stock-cash flow sensitivity, structural estimation, implied-state GMM, financial leverage, default probability, asset pricing anomalies JEL Classification: G12, G13, G33 2 1 Introduction Equity is a residual claim contingent on a firm’s assets that generate operating cash flows.

  • A Framework for Statistical Network Modeling

    A Framework for Statistical Network Modeling

    A FRAMEWORK FOR STATISTICAL NETWORK MODELING By Harry Crane and Walter Dempsey Rutgers University and University of Michigan Basic principles of statistical inference are commonly violated in network data analysis. Under the current approach, it is often impossi- ble to identify a model that accommodates known empirical behaviors, possesses crucial inferential properties, and accurately models the data generating process. In the absence of one or more of these properties, sensible inference from network data cannot be assured. Our proposed framework decomposes every network model into a (relatively) exchangeable data generating process and a sampling mecha- nism that relates observed data to the population network. This frame- work, which encompasses all models in current use as well as many new models, such as edge exchangeable and relationally exchangeable models, that lie outside the existing paradigm, offers a sound context within which to develop theory and methods for network analysis. 1. Introduction. A statistical model, traditionally defined [15, 40, 41], is a family of probability distributions on the sample space of all maps M S from the set of statistical units into the response space . Some other au- U R thors discuss statistical modeling from various perspectives [21, 28, 41], but none of these prior accounts directly addresses the specific challenges of network modeling, namely the effects of sampling on network data and its subsequent impact on inference. In fact, these issues are hardly even men- tioned in the statistical literature on networks, a notable exception being the recent analysis of sampling consistency for the exponential random graph model [46]. Below we address both logical and practical concerns of statisti- cal inference as well as clarify how specific attributes of network modeling fit within the usual statistical paradigm.

ALLEN* In April 1985, the North American Securities Administrators Association adopted the Model State Commodity Code. The Model Code is designed to regulate off-exchange futures and options contracts, forward contracts, and other contracts for the sale of physical commodities but not exchange-traded commodity futures contracts or exchange-traded commodity options. Specif- ically, the Model Code addresses the problem of boiler-rooms and bucket shops-that is, the fraudulent sale of commodities to the investing public.
  • Fictitious Capital and the Elusive Quest in Understanding Its Implications: Illusions and Paradoxes*

    Fictitious Capital and the Elusive Quest in Understanding Its Implications: Illusions and Paradoxes*

    CADMUS, Volume 2, No.3, October 2014, 55-65 Fictitious Capital and the Elusive Quest in Understanding its Implications: Illusions and Paradoxes* Joanílio Rodolpho Teixeira Fellow, World Academy of Art & Science; Emeritus Professor, University of Brasilia, Brazil Paula Felix Ferreira Post-graduate Student, Autonomous University of Madrid, Spain Abstract This paper deals with the interaction between fictitious capital and the neoliberal model of growth and distribution, inspired by the classical economic tradition. Our renewed interest in this literature has a close connection with the recent international crisis in the capitalist economy. However, this discussion takes as its point of departure the fact that standard eco- nomic theory teaches that financial capital, in this world of increasing globalization, leads to new investment opportunities which improve levels of growth, employment, income distribu- tion, and equilibrium. Accordingly, it is said that such financial resources expand the welfare of people and countries worldwide. Here we examine some illusions and paradoxes of such a paradigm. We show some theoretical and empirical consequences of this vision, which are quite different and have harmful constraints. 1. Introduction There is an extensive controversy concerning traditional models of economic equi- librium and new development paradigms based on an interdisciplinary, broader study of economics. When faced with the harmful effects of misguided directives in an economic and global sense, theorists have the obligation not only to explain their causes, but also to offer a practical solution or alternate thinking. After all, consistent levels of poverty, unemploy- ment and low growth are results which were not expected in orthodox economic models of equilibrium and should be dealt with instead of being thrown aside as a politically restricted issue.

Introduction Many borrowing microfinance institutions (MFIs) are not adequately managing their The authors of this Focus Note exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.

Devaluation or depreciation risk typically arises in microfinance when an MFI acquires debt in a foreign currency, usually U.S. dollars (USD) or euros, and then lends CGAP, the Consultative Group those funds in domestic currency (DC). The MFI then possesses a liability in a hard to Assist the Poor, is a currency and assets in a DC (in which case, an MFI’s balance sheet is said to contain a consortium of 31 development agencies that support “currency mismatch”).

For the Web site: www.cgap.org. purposes of this note, convertibility risk refers to the risk that the national government will not sell foreign currency to borrowers or others with obligations denominated in hard currency. Transfer risk refers to the risk that the national government will not allow foreign currency to leave the country regardless of its source. Since MFIs operate in developing countries where the risk of currency depreciation is highest, they are particularly vulnerable to foreign exchange rate risk.
