Abstract:

Transaction costs, information costs and defaults costs are suspected to partially explain differences in returns which were previously attributed to risk premiums in the financial markets. Two portfolios with identical costs are constructed from a Put, a Call, and underlying S&P 500 stocks, with the first Portfolio being hedged (Put-Call Parity) and the second Portfolio being unhedged (with systematic beta close to 2). The expected stock prices of S&P 500 were calculated based on 52-year historical data using several methods, and returns of the two portfolios were obtained and compare

The racing Greyhound presents us with an opportunity to study the characteristics of a successful athlete and the costs and risks such specialisation entails.

Racing Greyhounds sustain a number of musculoskeletal injuries. Several of these, notably fatigue fractures of distal limb bones, are very similar to those seen in human athletes and military recruit

The modern supply chain is long, complex, interconnected and global, and plays a fundamental role in business competitiveness. These conditions, along with various supply chain management trends in recent years have increased risks in supply chains which threaten supply chain performance. Greater impact, especially on cost, from an increased threat of supply disruptions is one area of particular concern. Companies today are struggling to find effective means to manage this increased risk and avoid adverse financial impacts. An approach to managing supply disruption risk in supply chains based

This PhD thesis investigates the pricing of a corporate loan according to the credit risk, the liquidity cost and the embedded prepayment option. A loan contract issued by a bank for its corporate clients is a financial agreement that often comes with more flexibility than a retail loan contract. These options are designed to meet clients' expectations and can include e.g., a prepayment option (which entitles the client, if he desires so, to pay all or a fraction of its loan earlier than the maturity). The prepayment is the main option and it will be study in this thesis. In order to decide wh

Abstract:

Quantitative risk analysis is an essential part of a systematic project risk management process. Although numerous techniques, either conventional or ad hoc, are available, quantitative risk analysis is not commonly implemented in the construction industry. A literature review has led to the identification of critical shortcomings in available quantitative techniques. Usually, project risk information is vague and incomplete, and is available qualitatively. Many existing techniques adopt statistical and probabilistic approaches.

Yield curve simulation is based on the estimated term structure of interest rates for the period June 2001-July 2004. Simulated yield curves are generally upward sloped and concave.

he subject of this thesis is ethical aspects of decision-making concerning social risks. It is argued that a model for risk management must acknowledge several ethical aspects and, most crucial among these, the individual’s right not to be unfairly exposed to risks. Article I takes as its starting point the demand frequently expressed in the risk literature for consistent risk management. It is maintained that a model focusing on cost-benefit analysis does not respect the rights of the individual. Two alternative models are outlined.

Abstract:

The current S-Curve method of cost risk analysis for major DON acquisitions projects does not accurately estimate actual cost when the program reaches Full Rate Production. Another, sometimes more effective method of measuring cost risk, is by using the enhanced scenario-based method (eSBM) of risk analysis. The reason that cost estimations from the milestone B costs are inaccurate is that very little, if any, real information about the project is known. eSBM allows managers a less statistically tasking method of determining cost risk for a project while still maintaining the requirements of t

Material responsible for discolouration risk has been shown to accumulate on pipe walls even after cleaning intervention, suggesting that risk cannot be eliminated with a single applied intervention and hence the long-term water quality benefits are uncertain.

Abstract:

Project cost increase is the main concern in international construction projects which usually results in disputes and conflicts among the project participants. The aim of this thesis is to construct a database that represents risk event history regarding international construction projects and construct a cost overrun prediction model. It is hypothesized that magnitudes of project related, company related and country related risk factors can be predicted by assessing the level of vulnerability by analogical reasoning with previous projects. The vulnerability and risk factors can further be

Abstract:

The flex cover system has two main components, the flex cover which is a flexible cover for coal transportation railcars, and a handling machine. The flex cover system is currently being developed by Empire Dynamic Structures. The research presented in this thesis revolves around the flex cover itself and not the cover handling machine although the entire concept is introduced in some detail. The flex cover is described in detail and extensive analysis was performed to determine the behaviour of the cover under static and dynamic loading. Additionally a cost/risk analysis was performed to

Abstract:

The Royal Navy requires a well trained and highly motivated workforce to perform specialised and demanding tasks efficiently and effectively. Its continued success depends on sound financial provision and a supply of suitable personnel willing to serve. There are severe penalties from over or under estimating the number and cost of the people needed, so achieving the right balance is a matter of risk management. Study of the Royal Navy's history shows the problem of controlling the number of and expenditure on its personnel is not new, but the decision by the author in April 1997 to capture th
