Abstract:

Data were collected from participating grow-out salmon farmers, processors, and the B.C. Salmon Farmers' Association, through interviews, and utilized to define a base farm. A microcomputer based spreadsheet model was constructed to capture the important biological and economic variables. The model details the operating costs and returns of a farm for five years, and assumes operating costs are consistent with the fifth year to provide cash flows for a total of 20 years. The financial analysis includes an examination of the net present values, the net farm income, and the internal rate of re

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the low take-up rate of the tax e-filing system and the effect of e-filing on compliance costs for personal income taxpayers in Malaysia. Based on a mail questionnaire survey, perceived usefulness and anxiety are found to be significant determinants of e-filing usage behaviour. Overall, e-filing has no significant effect on compliance costs. Further analysis indicates on who benefits from e-filing and who does not. The role of pre-filling system is also discussed.

Abstract:

This thesis concerns the relationship between financial investments and ethics, focusing the attention on how asset management companies assess the social and environmental consequences of their decisions and how they promote and manage socially responsible investments. The first part of the thesis deals with the generic theory of Italian ethical funds: the definition, the origins, the market's characteristics, the ethical investor's description and the investment selection process. The second part is more practical and concerns the analysis of Italian ethical funds, their investment policies,

Abstract:

The paper presents a formal analysis which incorporates returns to transportation into a Ricardian framework to predict trade patterns. The important point to be gained from this analysis is that increasing returns to transportation, coupled with appropriate distances between trading partners can be shown to reverse Ricardian predictions even when there are no international differences in tastes, technology, or factor endowments. Additional gains from trade may emerge from reductions in aggregate delivery costs owing to scale economies. (authors' abstract)<br>Series: Discussion Papers of the I

Abstract:

<p>“I changed my mind” is a case study aimed at investigating returns. Returns are often negative occurrences and can be seen as the last “block” in a supply chain. However, what this study shows is that a return is a great source for customer profiling and can lead to an increase in market shares if managed correctly. Many companies go about investigating satisfied customers and what aspects these customers are satisfied with. Instead this research focuses on finding out what dissatisfied customer feel and why they decided to return a specific product. Investigations are also made concerning

Abstract:

Using a three-essay approach, I focus on two issues related to the labor market: the effect of changes in regulatory costs on informal sector employment, and the role of endogeneity in the relationship between education and earnings. In the first essay, I analyze the implications of regulatory costs on skill-based wage differences and informal sector employment. I use a two sector matching model with exogenous skill types for workers where firms have sector-specific costs and workers have sector-specific bargaining power. In general, there are multiple equilibria possible for this model. I foc

Abstract:

Work-related disorders due to biomechanical exposures have been subject to extensive research. Studies addressing these exposures have, however, paid limited attention to an efficient use of resources in exposure assessment. The present thesis investigates cost-efficient procedures for assessment of work-related biomechanical exposures, i.e. procedures aiming at a proper balance between statistical and economic performance. Paper I is a systematic review of tools used in literature providing cost-efficient data collection designs. Two main approaches were identified in nine publications, i.e.

Abstract:

Agency Costs of Controlling Minority Shareholders (coauthored with Henrik Cronqvist) estimates the agency costs of controlling minority shareholders (CMSs) using a panel of Swedish listed firms. CMSs are owners who have a control stake of the firm’s votes while owning only a minority fraction of the firm’s equity. The study documents that families in control are almost exclusively CMSs through an extensive use of dual-class shares. The results show that increased ownership of votes by a controlling owner is associated with an economically and statistically significant decrease in firm value, b

Abstract:

There has been an increasing interest in the finance literature regarding the impact of transactions costs on US equity markets. The US empirical evidence indicates that transactions costs influence both trading volume (Atkins and Dyl (1997)) and asset returns (Amihud and Mendelson (1986)). Additionally, the theoretical finance literature also indicates that transactions costs affect equilibrium asset returns (Fisher (1994)). In this thesis we assess the impact of transactions costs on the UK equity markets, from four aspects. Firstly, we provide empirical support to the hypothesis that transa

Abstract:

The dividend policy and the distribution of cash dividend can be of interest to the investors from many angles. Consequently, many theories have been built on the relevance of dividend policy and there are several theories proposing that dividends increase shareholder value. However, the most famous theory on dividend policy might be Miller and Modigliani's dividend irrelevance theory which implies that the dividend policy does not affect shareholder value. Although investors are concerned with shareholder value they are also concerned with achieving the highest possible return with the lowest

Abstract:

This dissertation examines the capital structure choices of small, owner-managed firms within the context of the "pecking order" framework of Myers (1984) and Myers and Majluf (1984). In this framework cost of capital considerations are held to be the raison d'etre of capital structure choices. The primary focus of the dissertation is on the role of information asymmetry in generating cost differences between various sources of finance, and how these differentials explain observed small firm capital structure choices. This thesis augments the small business capital structure literature i

This implies that the market valuation will depend on the R&D accounting treatment, and it may effect the investment decision of managers.

Using a sample of Mergers and Acquisitions of bidders from several countries: Germany, France, UK and US, between 1990 and 2015, I find a positive relation between excess cash and M&A activity. The results also suggest that smaller firms, with higher investment opportunities and riskier cash-flows tend to hold more cash. Additionally, I do not find any short-term significant stock market reaction to cash-rich
