Abstract:
Depuis plusieurs années, les ménages font face à un processus de responsabilisation financière croissante. Dans ce contexte, les individus ont-ils les compétences financières suffisantes pour prendre des décisions éclairées en matière de planification financière, d'accumulation du patrimoine, d'endettement et de retraite? Quelles solutions peuvent-elles être envisagées pour atténuer les effets néfastes du manque d'éducation financière? Cette thèse contribue à répondre à ces deux questions à travers une évaluation de l'éducation financière en France et de ses liens avec les comportements financ

Abstract:
These essays consider various aspects of the access to finance to micro-entrepreneurs who remain outside the purview of the banking sector primarily due to lack of collateral. An innovative way to provide access to finance - microfinance - originated from Bangladesh and has since then spread to all over the world. Evidence points to micro-enterprises earning returns well above market interest rate. It is therefore puzzling that hardly any study has found a significant impact on various development indicators for households receiving a microcredit loan. This coupled with high indebtedness and d

The main purpose of the present thesis is to shed light on the role of social networks in finance.

Nevertheless, according with a traditional approach competition is a standard assumption modelling financial markets.

Empirical work identifies a surprising level of consistency amongst different groups across 31 markets.

This thesis is a collection of three essays in Real Estate Finance. The first essay examines the determinants of commercial mortgage contract terms. A cornerstone of finance theory is that risk and return should be positively related. However, existing empirical studies often find a negative relationship between interest rates and risk terms in mortgage contracts. Previous studies have found such results puzzling, and have surmised that they may arise because traditional models do not explicitly account for the simultaneous determination of interest rates and loan terms.

We present a class of models, called extrapolation-correction models, of boundedly rational investor behavior. That is, the investors in our model, quite reasonably, use data available to them, i.e. past price data, to form forecasts about future prices. We relate the model parameters to various behavioral

Abstract:
This dissertation studies the nature of the elasticity of the supply of funds through the analysis of concepts as presented by post Keynesian horizontalists and post Keynesian non-horizontalists. These two competing views are outlined, and pertinent issues are isolated. Empirical analysis is performed using data for the Canadian economy in order to assess the validity of both positions. In order to distinguish empirically between horizontalists and non-horizontalists, the variability of the commercial bank markup is tested, as well as any evidence of the presence of financial fragility.

Abstract:
Re-investment is vital to the business angel "industry" because re-investing angels endorse a greater number of entrepreneurs and invest more funds than non-reinvesting angels. In this exploratory empirical analysis, the appraisal qualities of business angels are examined relative to their impact on producing successful investments as well as their impact upon re-investment. The three appraisal qualities investigated are business angels' motivations, their deal generation behaviours and the cognitive heuristics of overconfidence and representativeness. The analysis is based on the information

Abstract:
The resurgence of Islam across the globe combined with the resilience that Islamic financial assets have shown against the onslaught of the current financial crisis, make Islamic finance an attractive alternative financial system. Over the past decade, the Islamic finance sector have shown double digit growth rates beyond the traditional areas of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) regions of Asia as well as other parts of the Middle-East and North Africa (MENA) regions. Research suggests that the future of Islamic finance in Africa depends on business opportunities in South Africa, Kenya, Nige

Abstract:
Chapter one shows that US households with high unconditional and cyclical labor income risk are more leveraged and allocate a greater share of their financial assets to stocks. I use self-reported risk preferences to show that rational sorting of risk tolerant workers into risky employment is responsible for this otherwise puzzling result. With risk preferences accounted for, I find evidence that households with greater permanent income variance reduce leverage and stock allocations to an extent consistent with theory. However, household portfolios and employment selection do not respond signi

Abstract:
The behaviour of a nation's stock market is increasingly seen as a barometer of its economic growth, strength and stability. While the behaviour of well established equity markets is well researched and documented, the behaviour of small and developing exchanges is still not much studied. This thesis examines and analyses some aspects of the behaviour of an emerging equity market known as the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (KLSE) - the national stock exchange for Malaysia. To serve as the groundwork for our empirical investigation, this study begins with a survey of the related literature. The li
