Abstract:

Effective public policy to mitigate climate change footprints should build on data-driven analysis of firm-level strategies. This article’s conceptual approach augments the resource-based view (RBV) of the firm and identifies investments in four firm-level resource domains (Governance, Information management, Systems, and Technology [ GISTe]) to develop capabilities in climate change impact mitigation. The authors denote the resulting framework as the GISTe model, which frames their analysis and public policy recommendations. This research uses the 2008 Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) database, with high-quality information on firm-level climate change strategies for 552 companies from North America and Europe. In contrast to the widely accepted myth that European firms are performing better than North American ones, the authors find a different result. Many firms, whether European or North American, do not just “talk” about climate change impact mitigation, but actually do “walk the talk.” European firms appear to be better than their North American counterparts in “walk I,” denoting attention to governance, information management, and systems. But when it comes down to “walk II,” meaning actual Technology-related investments, North American firms’ performance is equal or superior to that of the European companies. The authors formulate public policy recommendations to accelerate firm-level, sector-level, and cluster-level implementation of climate change strategies.

Abstract:

Prior research on the relationships of institutional ownership and corporate social responsibility has focused on North American (U.S. and Canada) and European companies. With the passage of Indonesian Law No. 40 in 2007, Indonesian companies are now obligated to conduct CSP. As these companies objected to the passage of this law, awareness of how CSP may benefit Indonesian companies in terms of its positive impact on institutional investors needs to be investigated. Thus, this paper examines the relationships of IO and CSP for Indonesian companies. Unfortunately, contrary to the results for North American and European companies, we found no relationships between institutional ownership and corporate social responsibility for Indonesian companies. This finding suggests that most institutional investors do not include CSP as part of their investment decisions. <br /><br />

Abstract:

The firm is a fundamental economic unit of contemporary human societies. Studies on the general quantitative and statistical character of firms have produced mixed results regarding their lifespans and mortality. We examine a comprehensive database of more than 25 000 publicly traded North American companies, from 1950 to 2009, to derive the statistics of firm lifespans. Based on detailed survival analysis, we show that the mortality of publicly traded companies manifests an approximately constant hazard rate over long periods of observation. This regularity indicates that mortality rates are independent of a company's age. We show that the typical half-life of a publicly traded company is about a decade, regardless of business sector. Our results shed new light on the dynamics of births and deaths of publicly traded companies and identify some of the necessary ingredients of a general theory of firms.

Abstract:

AbstractCorporate social responsibility (CSR) represents behaviors that have increasingly strategic importance to many companies. CSR has been defined as a company's commitment to minimizing or eliminating any harmful effects on society and maximizing its long-term beneficial impact (Mohr, Webb, & Harris, 2001). The purpose of this paper is (a) to improve our understanding of how North American professional sport league executives view CSR and (b) to consider how CSR activities contribute to these leagues. Interviews with four senior league executives provide perspective as to the role and relevance of social responsibility in North American professional sport. The paper discusses the impact of leadership on CSR and relates the topics covered from institutional, strategic, and stakeholder perspectives.

Abstract:

Purpose The transfer of organizational practices or management instruments in the multinational firm often requires adaptations to the local context of subsidiaries and is, as such, revealing cultural and institutional particularities. Among the multinational firm’s management instruments, the codes of conduct are closely linked to the values and standards of conduct of the parent company. Being instruments of North American origin, codes of conduct were, in the last 20 years, gradually institutionalized first in North American multinational companies and then more frequently in European multinational companies. Several studies showed the difficulties of implementing these instruments in countries as diverse as France, Germany, Israel and China and stressed the importance of coherence between values, local organizational practices and acceptability of codes by employees of the subsidiaries. The purpose of this paper is to study the specificity of the Lebanese context from a new perspective by showing whether codes of conduct were adapted and by explaining the reasons of these adaptations. This research also highlights the differences between American and European multinational companies regarding the transfer of their codes of conduct. Design/methodology/approach The study used a multiple case study approach. Interviews were conducted in ten Lebanese subsidiaries of multinational companies, four of North American origin and six of European origin. Findings The study showed adaptations done to transferred codes of conduct in Lebanese subsidiaries. The study also reveals differences between American and European MNCs. Originality/value The study sheds light on host-country factors explaining the adaptation of codes of conducts transferred to Lebanese subsidiaries.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to testing the hypothesis of Melnyk et al. that companies implementing principles of Lean Management System are more environmentally friendly than those that do not implement them. Melnyk tested his hypothesis in North American companies, where Lean Management System and Green Management System are introduced almost simultaneously. Russian production practice is significantly different from the American one, and Lean manufacturing is significantly ahead of Environmental management principles. To test the hypothesis, a formed sample of a number of Russian manufacturing companies was rather small, but the results were fully confirmed.

Abstract:

Mestrado em Finanças<br>This study analyzes the determinants of loan and lease losses experienced by North American Bank Holding Companies in 2008, as a result of the credit crisis initially triggered by residential lending to high-risk borrowers. The performed analysis is based on financial information on Bank Holding Companies obtained from the Federal Reserve System and on macroeconomic data for the United States of America at national, regional and state levels. For both larger and smaller Bank Holding Companies, higher credit losses were associated with higher loan portfolio average spreads and higher shares of construction and land-related loans. The fact that the Bank Holding Company was audited by one of the "Big Four" auditing firms also proved to be relevant. Larger Bank Holding Companies' credit losses were also found to be influenced by lower gross domestic product growth rates, higher proportions of restructured loans and higher shares of foreign loans. Larger housing price declines, lower shares of foreign loans and lower provisioning ratios of delinquent loans also resulted in higher credit losses for smaller Bank Holding Companies. This study also demonstrates that larger and listed Bank Holding Companies incurred in higher credit losses comparatively to smaller and unlisted Bank Holding Companies, respectively. Finally, it was found that Bank Holding Companies developing their activities in the West registered comparatively higher credit losses, while Bank Holding Companies developing their activities in the Northeast incurred in comparatively lower credit losses<br>Este estudo analisa os factores determinantes das perdas de crédito incorridas pelas holdings bancárias Norte-Americanas em 2008, como resultado da crise do mercado de crédito inicialmente despoletada pela concessão de crédito hipotecário de alto risco. A análise efectuada baseia-se em informação financeira das holdings bancárias obtida junto da Federal Reserve System e em dados macroeconómicos para os Estados Unidos da América, aos níveis nacional, regional e estatal. Conjuntamente para as holdings bancárias de maior e de menor dimensões, perdas de crédito mais elevadas estão associadas a carteiras de crédito com spreads médios mais altos e a maiores proporções de empréstimos para construção e financiamento de terrenos. O facto de a holding bancária ter sido auditada por uma das "Big Fouf também se revelou relevante. As perdas de crédito das holdings bancárias de maior dimensão foram ainda influenciadas por menores taxas de crescimento do produto interno bruto, maiores pesos de empréstimos reestruturados e maiores proporções de empréstimos ao estrangeiro. Maiores quedas dos preços dos imóveis para habitação, menores pesos de empréstimos ao estrangeiro e menores níveis de provisionamento do crédito vencido implicaram também maiores perdas de crédito para as holdings bancárias de menor dimensão. Este estudo demonstra ainda que as holdings bancárias de maior dimensão e as que são cotadas em bolsa incorreram em perdas de crédito mais elevadas face às holdings bancárias de menor dimensão e às que não são cotadas em bolsa, respectivamente. Finalmente, verificou-se que as holdings bancárias que desenvolvem as suas actividades no Oeste registaram perdas de crédito comparativamente mais elevadas, enquanto as holdings bancárias que desenvolvem as suas actividades no Nordeste incorreram em perdas de crédito comparativamente menores.

Abstract:

As conclusões das pesquisas sobre velocidade de ajustamento da estrutura de capital em direção ao alvo (SOA - Speed Of Adjustment) são muito divergentes quanto à velocidade medida. A maioria dos estudos mensura o SOA sem levar em conta certas especificidades das empresas ou de suas estratégias. Dividindo-se a amostra em empresas não adquirentes, adquirentes eventuais e adquirentes em série, o presente estudo tem por objetivo investigar o padrão de comportamento do SOA no período entre 1990 e 2010 para empresas norte-americanas. Considerando diversas variáveis de controle (restrições financeiras, oportunidades de crescimento, grau de alavancagem financeira e emissão/redução de dívidas e ações), tem-se uma investigação mais aprofundada de como as empresas não adquirentes, adquirentes eventuais e adquirentes em série ajustam sua estrutura de capital em direção ao alvo. São utilizadas como variáveis dependentes o endividamento a valor de mercado e endividamento líquido a valor de mercado. Verificou-se que os endividamentos médios para as três amostras são diferentes entre si, de forma estatisticamente significante. As empresas adquirentes em série possuem o menor endividamento, ao passo que as empresas não adquirentes são as mais endividadas, estando as empresas adquirentes eventuais em posição intermediária quanto ao endividamento. Este resultado sugere que as empresas possuem padrões de endividamentos distintos em função de sua política de investimentos relacionada à aquisições. É utilizado o modelo de ajustamento parcial para mensurar o SOA, empregando painel de dados dinâmico com a técnica do Método dos Momentos Generalizados (GMM) Sistêmico para se medir a velocidade de ajustamento da estrutura de capital de um período a outro. Esta técnica tem-se mostrado a menos enviesada e, assim, tem sido uma das mais utilizadas em trabalhos empíricos. Os resultados encontrados evidenciam que o padrão de comportamento do SOA pode depender da sua estratégia de investimentos em aquisições. O SOA das empresas adquirentes em série é constantemente menor em comparação ao SOA das empresas adquirentes, mesmo considerando as diversas variáveis de controle. O SOA das empresas não adquirentes permanece em posição intermediária. Esses resultados em conjunto sugerem que a folga financeira (baixo nível de endividamento e elevado saldo de caixa) seja um fator relevante para as adquirentes em série. Desse modo, tais empresas ajustam seu endividamento de forma mais lenta, em resposta a uma estrutura de capital mais adequada à sua política de investimentos. Por outro lado, as empresas adquirentes eventuais ajustam mais rapidamente sua estrutura de capital em função de sua política de aquisições esporádicas.<br>The conclusions of surveys on speed of adjustment (SOA) towards the target capital structure are widely divergent as regards the measured speed. Most studies measure the SOA without taking into account certain specificities of the companies or of their strategies. Dividing the sample in non-acquiring companies, sporadic acquiring companies and serial acquirers, this study seeks to investigate the pattern of behavior of the SOA, in the period between 1990 and 2010 for North American companies. Considering several control variables (financial restrictions, growth opportunities, degree of financial leverage and issuance/reduction of debts and shares), we have a more in-depth investigation into how non-acquiring companies, sporadic acquiring companies and serial acquirers adjust their capital structure towards the target. Market leverage value and net market leverage are used as dependent variables. It was verified that the average debt levels for the three samples are different from one another, in a statistically significant manner. The serial acquirers have the lowest leverage, while non-acquiring companies have the highest leverage, with acquirers companies in an intermediate position on the leverage. This result suggests that companies have different debts patterns, due to its investment policy related to acquisitions. The partial adjustment model is employed to measure the SOA, using dynamic panel data with the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) Systemic to measure the speed of adjustment of the capital structure from one period to another. This technique has shown itself to be less biased and has thus been one of the most commonly used techniques in empirical studies. The results show evidence that the SOA may depend of its investment strategy. The SOA of serial acquirers companies is constantly lower than the SOA of acquiring companies, even considering all the control variables. The SOA of non-acquiring companies remains in an intermediate position. Taken together, these results suggest that the financial slack (low debt and high cash balance) is a relevant factor to serial acquirers. Thus such companies adjust their debt more slowly in response to a more adequate capital structure to their investment policy. On the other hand, sporadic acquiring companies adjust faster its capital structure, due to its sporadic acquisition policy.

Abstract:

Dissertações de mestrado em Finanças<br>A globalização dos mercados e a internacionalização das empresas conduziu a um aumento do número de empresas que fazem cross-listings. No entanto, enquanto a teoria sugere que o cross-listing é benéfico para a empresa, e consequentemente é uma boa notícia para os acionistas, a evidência empírica tem mostrado que no longo prazo isto não ocorre. Esta dissertação tem como objetivo investigar esta questão através da aplicação da metodologia do buy-and-hold abnormal returns e do calendar-time portfolio approach para uma amostra de 109 empresas europeias do sistema francês que fizeram cross-listing no mercado norte-americano entre Janeiro de 1983 e Setembro de 2008. Os resultados obtidos são consistentes com os de outros autores que se focam em amostras semelhantes. Concluindo que o cross-listing não beneficia os acionistas no longo prazo, pois não permite obter rendibilidade anormais positivas. No entanto o facto de não se obterem rendibilidades anormais negativas e estatisticamente significativas (como acontece noutros mercados domésticos – Austrália/Canadá) sugere que possam existir benefícios decorrentes da ligação a mercados mais desenvolvidos, exigentes e protetores do acionista.<br>The globalization of markets and the internationalization of companies have led to an increase in the number of companies that cross-list. While theoretical arguments suggest that cross-listing is beneficial for the companies, and therefore represents good news for shareholders, empirical evidence has shown that in the long-term this does not happen. This dissertation aims to investigate this issue through the application of the methodology of buy-andhold abnormal returns and calendar-time portfolio approach in a sample of 109 European companies in the French system that cross-listed in the US market between January 1983 and September 2008. The results are consistent with other studies with the similar samples. In the sense that the cross-listing does not benefit shareholders in the long-term, because doesn’t allow positive abnormal returns. However, the fact that abnormal returns are not negative and statistically significant (as in other domestic markets – Australia/Canada) suggests that there is benefit associated with the connection to more developed, stringent and protective of shareholder markets.

Abstract:

The present Dissertation’s academic research question addresses the impact that diversification and size have on the financial stability of U.S. Bank Holding Companies (BHCs) and Commercial Banks for the 2002-2016 period. The bank yearly data was extracted from OSIRIS-Bureau van Dijk, while the macro variables were extracted from the Trading Economics website. In order to address the proposed research question, a baseline model, consisting on a random effects model including time fixed effects and clusters, was created with the dependent variables being the standard deviation of ROA and the Distance-to-Default, both serving as proxies for banks’ financial stability. Furthermore, the present Dissertation controls for the time periods before, during and after the U.S. Subprime Financial Crisis. In general, the findings confirm that appropriate levels of diversification improve the financial stability of BHCs and Commercial Banks, however, after a given threshold diversification deteriorates banks’ financial stability. Moreover, it is also confirmed that increases in the size of Commercial Banks lead to increases in banks’ financial stability, nonetheless, after a given threshold further increases in size deteriorates banks’ financial stability. Surprisingly, concerning BHCs, increases in size lead to decreases in banks’ financial stability, while, after a given threshold, further increases in size promote banks’ financial stability. The present Dissertation looks at this last relationship as a possible confirmation of the “Too-Big-to-Fail” issue, that may have risen from the U.S. Subprime Financial Crisis. Lastly, robustness analysis conducted confirm the previous findings.<br>A presente Dissertação aborda como questão científica o impacto que a diversificação e o tamanho têm na estabilidade financeira de Holdings Bancárias e Bancos Comerciais Norte-Americanos, durante o período 2002-2016. Os dados anuais bancários foram extraídos da OSIRIS- Bureau van Dijk, e as variáveis macro-económicas do website Trading Economics. Com o intuito de responder à questão de pesquisa, o modelo base consiste num modelo de “random effects”, constituído por “time fixed effects” e “clusters”. As variáveis dependentes são o desvio padrão do retorno sobre ativos e a distância até insolvência, sendo ambos representantes da estabilidade financeira de um banco. Este modelo base é, seguidamente, controlado para os períodos de tempo anteriores, durante e posteriores à crise financeira “U.S. Subprime”. Os resultados empíricos confirmam que níveis apropriados de diversificação, nas duas categorias de bancos referidas, potenciam a sua estabilidade financeira, no entanto, a partir de um nível de diversificação, posteriores aumentos diminuem a sua estabilidade financeira. Por sua vez, aumentos de tamanho em Bancos Comerciais potenciam a sua estabilidade financeira, no entanto, a partir de um dado tamanho, posteriores aumentos deterioram a sua estabilidade financeira. Surpreendentemente, em relação às Holdings Bancárias, aumentos de tamanho iniciais diminuem a sua estabilidade financeira, no entanto, a partir de um dado tamanho, posteriores aumentos potenciam a sua estabilidade financeira. Este resultado anterior é visto como uma possível confirmação do fenómeno “Too-Big-to-Fail”, fruto provavelmente da crise financeira “U.S. Subprime”. Por fim, são realizada análises de robustez que confirmam os resultados acima referidos.

Abstract:

Abstract Many countries overseas, for the first time, are beginning to explore the use of waste-to-energy plants as part of their integrated solid waste management plans. They are doing this for a number of reasons, which include geopolitical and economic pressures, as well as environmental. Overseas markets are actively seeking out, and wanting to apply the advancements made by U.S. waste-to-energy companies in the last three decades. U.S. companies have made U.S. waste-to-energy plants the least costly and most efficient plants in the world. U.S. waste-to-energy companies may be poised for new business opportunity for their systems in overseas markets. However, there are many obstacles to overcome in marketing technology and waste disposal services overseas. Where are those markets of opportunity? There are three criteria which can be used to screen for potential waste-to-energy markets: 1. Living standards; 2. Limitation on land use; and, 3. Rule of law. What are the cultural, geographic and competitive obstacles in marketing overseas? Can obstacles such as language, development costs, time zone differences, institutional experience with privatization, local and foreign competitive advantages be managed or medicated? An understanding of how a global economy impacts the marketing of U.S. waste-to-energy services is essential to formulating an overseas marketing plan.

Abstract:

In recent years some power companies have instituted programs aimed at reducing or eliminating their power plants’ unreliability caused by abnormal events that occur infrequently but result in extended unplanned outages when they do occur, i.e. High Impact–Low Probability events (HILPs). HILPs include catastrophic events such as turbine water induction, boiler explosions, generator winding failures, etc. Many of these successful programs have relied on the detailed reliability data contained in the North American Electric Reliability Corporation’s (NERC) Generating Availability Data System (GADS) that contains data collected over the past 25 years from 5000+ generating units in North America. Using this data, these companies have been able to 1) benchmark their fleet’s unreliability due to HILPs against their North American peers, 2) prioritize their peer group’s susceptibility to various HILP modes and 3) use root cause data contained within the NERC-GADS data base to help identify and evaluate ways to proactively prevent, detect and/or mitigate the consequences of HILP events. This paper will describe the methods used in these successful programs in sufficient detail to enable others to adopt the techniques for application at their own generating plants.

Full text

Abstract:

When the current generation of U.S. waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities was developed during the 1980s and early 1990s, there were a large number of companies competing to design, build, operate and maintain them under a long term contract. Over the years, almost all of these firms have left the WTE business for a variety of reasons leaving essentially only two U.S. firms actively competing for renewed operating and maintenance (O&M) contracts for publicly owned WTE facilities. This consolidation has significantly reduced the level of competition for public owners who are interested in rebidding their WTE O&M contracts at the end of their initial or extended terms and, as a result, has the potential to increase the cost of service. Consolidation has likewise reduced the level of competition for potential new WTE projects in the U.S. This paper reviews the history of public sector operation of WTE facilities in the U.S., the unique challenges presented by public operation and whether it is time for more public owners to consider this alternative for existing WTE facilities in light of the lack of competition by private operating companies. Perceived risks and impediments to public operation of WTE facilities and suggestions on how to overcome them are presented as well as the benefits and opportunities available to public owners. The keys to a successful public WTE operating venture are also discussed based on the experiences of ecomaine, a consortium of 21 member municipalities in southern Maine that have operated and maintained their own 550 ton per day (tpd) WTE facility for more than 20 years. Public versus private operating practices for European WTE facilities are also explored as well as public ownership and operation of new WTE facilities including those based on alternative or emerging technologies.

Abstract:

This paper discusses one of the key lessons learned from administering the first generation of service agreements for public owners of waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities over the past 22 years and how those experiences were incorporated into a new service agreement for the operation and maintenance of Pinellas County’s 24 year old, 3,000 tpd WTE Facility to better protect the county’s interests. Additionally, a major issue raised by the operating companies during the competitive procurement process for continue operation of the facility is discussed and how that concern was addressed in the new service agreement is also presented. Capitalized words or terms used in this paper are defined within the new service agreement.

Abstract:

“Energy cost increases are expected to continue.... The impact of these energy cost increases on attractiveness of energy recovery could be significant.” “A number of new technological developments have been underway over the past few years that are now becoming available as full-scale systems and that are greatly expanding the opportunities for energy recovery from mixed municipal waste.” These sound like statements from today’s headlines or the latest marketing brochures reflecting the promise of emerging waste management technologies. The reality is that these statements were made over thirty years ago. Communities planning on implementing any new technology as part of their solid waste management program should proceed with caution. After all, the second quote above was followed by the following statement. “These systems have generally been developed by firms in private industry as new business ventures. Monsanto, Union Carbide, Devco, Garrett Research and Development (a division of Occidental Petroleum), Hercules, Black-Clawson, Horner-Schiffrin and Combustion Equipment Associates have been some of the most active firms.” Although many communities relied upon performance and financial guarantees offered by these companies, none of projects developed by them were successful. Similarly, there was a wave of optimism and projects that were implemented in the 1990’s involving numerous mixed municipal waste biological (i.e., composting) projects that also failed for economic or technical reasons. From these prior experiences, lessons can be drawn to assist communities evaluate the risks and rewards in procuring and contracting for today’s emerging technologies. The waste being delivered to these failed projects, unlike some of the salespersons, did not go away. These failed projects had to be redeveloped and replacement projects implemented to deal with the daily tide at the curb. A number of consultants, including the authors, started in the solid waste business redeveloping some of these failed initial efforts. From these prior experiences, lessons can be drawn to assist communities evaluate the risks and rewards in procuring today’s emerging technologies. New thermal conversion, pyrolysis, gasification, and bioconversion technologies are being proposed for projects throughout the U.S. based on experience in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Many communities have issued RFP’s to include emerging technologies in their integrated solid waste management systems. To successfully procure and finance a project involving one of these emerging technologies, the project sponsor or developer will need to: • Locate a politically suitable site for the project; • Acquire waste supply commitments; • Develop energy and material sales approaches and agreements; • Arrange for residue disposal; • Obtain permits to operate; and • Arrange for the financing. In addition to the above components, the efficacy of the technology and the financial backing provided by the technology supplier are critical to a successful project. Not unlike the early 1970’s and 1990’s companies are promoting the advantages and successful applications of new approaches to solid waste management. In doing so, some companies are asking communities to provide a suitable site (usually adjacent to or near an exiting permitted landfill or other solid waste management facility), supply waste, dispose of any residue, and assist in the permitting of a new project. The company may take the responsibility to arrange for energy and material markets, obtain the permits, and finance the project. The company’s objective is to develop a demonstration of their technology using mixed municipal solid waste, or a portion of the waste stream, in a U.S. community from which it can build its business. Before entering into long term obligations associated with such arrangements, it is important that a community consider the following: • How much will it cost to deliver waste to the new facility? • What impact will it have on the balance of the solid waste management system? • If the new system does not work, is there an alternative location, both in the short- and long-run to process/dispose of the waste? • If there are odor or other environmental problems that cannot be mitigated, is there a way to terminate the operation of the facility? • If the project does not succeed, will the company be responsible for razing the facility and returning a clean site? What other obligations will the company have? • What are the obligations of the community if the project does succeed? • What is the definition of success? • How long must the project be successfully demonstrated before it is converted into a fully commercial operation? • If this involves an expansion of the project, is the community obligated to proceed? This presentation compares and contrasts the experiences of the past with the current approaches being taken by firms promoting these technologies and communities implementing them in the hope of learning from our past.. Case studies will be discussed to support the conclusions and recommendations presented.

Abstract:

Many factors influence where U.S. tech multinational corporations decide to conduct their global artificial intelligence research and development (R&D). Company AI labs are spread all over the world, especially in North America, Europe and Asia. But in contrast to AI labs, most company AI staff remain concentrated in the United States. Roxanne Heston and Remco Zwetsloot explain where these companies conduct AI R&D, why they select particular locations, and how they establish their presence there. The report is accompanied by a new open-source dataset of more than 60 AI R&D labs run by these companies worldwide.
