Abstract:

The relationship between market forces and product safety in the context of the commercial passenger air travel market was investigated. The analysis was based on a detailed review of the events surrounding three airline accidents, each resulting in a substantial number of fatalities, and the subsequent investigations. The presence or absence of statistically significant market impacts of the accidents on aircraft manufacturers and airlines was determined using a combination of event analysis and the market model of modern finance theory. For a period following each accident, daily and cumulative abnormal stock market returns (i.e., returns not explained by pre-accident market trends) were calculated for the three domestic commercial aircraft manufacturers, the airline involved, and the major airline carrier industry. The results indicated that market forces exist that provide an incentive for manufacturers and airlines to devote resources to product safety, even though it is not possible for consumers to rationally evaluate the level of safety being provided, due to the inherent complexity of the products. The calculated market impacts generally conformed to expectations, in terms of sign and significance, and varied depending on the primary cause of a particular accident. However, the results with respect to the individual airlines involved in each accident did not support the hypotheses in several cases, indicating that other market, regulatory, or judicial factors may have had an impact on the calculated abnormal stock market returns. A description of the background theory, the methodology used, and the detailed results is included.

Abstract:

Cities are a way of life. They are an amalgamation of cultural background and urbanism, which determine the quality of life, environmental sustainability, social behavior and economic well-being. Since the ancient times, cities have been the way to define the growth and development. The development of the cities depended upon availability of resources for a better livelihood and the way humans utilize the resources. Even today as cities develop, people hope for better living conditions. Urbanism plays a major role in the development of cities, being a combination of cultural and urban living. Urbanism has brought various downfalls along with progress. Has urbanism made development a monotonous concept? These days, cities are urbanizing at a fast rate not considering their future consequences. Having lived in Mumbai, I have seen it grow into a megacity. The countless problems that urbanism has brought to accommodate the massive amount of people migrating into the city has affected the quality of life of people immensely. However, is it for the better or worse? People all over the country want to have a piece of Mumbai, the city of dreams. This growth in the population has overpowered the city. Mumbai is famous for its railway system. It is the lifeline of the city. However, due to the amount of people using this system, the travel is more of a chaos. Every railway station has a main access road filled with hawkers and commercial storefronts. People in Mumbai are always in a rush, so these hawkers and commercial stores are a necessity to their daily life. People shop for their daily necessities while returning home to save time. However, these streets are extremely chaotic and crowded. My thesis focuses on how this space can be utilized by three consumers - the traveler, the shopper and the one who does both. It aims to decongest this main street and make travelling by local trains convenient. The site I have chosen is located in the heart of Mumbai city and is one of the most important railway station on the Western Suburban railway system. It is known as Dadar railway station. More than 500,000 people use this railway station daily. With the maximum number of incoming pedestrian traffic, my design can be used as an example for other railway stations throughout Mumbai.

Abstract:

This study examines the American Dollar (USD) denominated currency returns of five developing market currencies for the presence of the day-of-the-week effect. Daily data from January 1995 to February 2008 is examined, and is split into two subperiods, SP1 (1995 - 2002) and SP2 (2003 - February 2008). Currency returns are non-normally distributed across the full data set and SP1 , but tend towards normality in SP2. As such non-parametric tests are used to test the equality of the first four moments across days of the week. Tests on the first moment show that two of the currencies do not show any evidence of the day-of-the-week effect. However, evidence of the day-of-the-week effect is found in the other three currencies in SP1, although the effect disappears or weakens significantly in SP2. Little evidence of the day-of-the-week effect is found in tests on the second moment. The hypothesis of equal higher moments across currency returns is rejected for almost all of the weekday pairs for all five currencies in SP1 , but in SP2 the hypothesis of equal higher moments can only be rejected for a single pair of weekdays for one currency. This indicates the disappearance of the day-of-the-week effect across higher moments in SP2. Thus, the study finds that the day-of-the-week effect is present across the first moment and higher moments in the returns to most currencies in SP1 , but has disappeared for all five currencies in SP2.

Abstract:

This study examines the different skills necessary for PGA tour players to succeed at specific annual tournaments, in order to create a predictive model for DraftKings PGA contests. The model takes into account data from the PGA Tour ShotLink Intelligence Program. The predictive model is created each week based on past results from the specific tournament in question, with the hope of predicting a group of twenty-five players who should be successful based on their statistical profile. The results of the model are detailed in this paper, which covers the first nine weeks of the 2017 PGA Tour season, with a net profit of $45,070. Despite a positive profit there is not enough information to prove significance, so the model would need to be carried out for many more weeks to be conclusive. Ultimately, the study shows that each PGA Tour course is slightly different, which means certain players should be more successful at certain courses, which is valuable information for predicting future outcomes.

Abstract:

In dieser Dissertation befassen wir uns mit ökonometrischen Modellen und empirischen Eigenschaften von Intra-Tages (Hochfrequenz-) Aktienmarktdaten. Der Fokus liegt hierbei auf der Analyse des Einflusses, den die Veröffentlichung von Wirtschaftsnachrichten auf die Aktienmarktaktivität hat, der Vorhersage der Geld-Brief-Spanne sowie der Modellierung von Volatilitätsmaßen auf Intra-Tages-Zeitintervallen. Zunächst quantifizieren wir die Marktreaktionen auf Marktneuigkeiten innerhalb eines Handelstages. Zu diesem Zweck benutzen wir linguistisch vorab bearbeitete Unternehmensnachrichtendaten mit Indikatoren über die Relevanz, Neuheit und Richtung dieser Nachrichten. Mit einem VAR Modell für 20-Sekunden Marktdaten der London Stock Exchange weisen wir durch Nachrichten hervorgerufene Marktreaktionen in Aktienkursrenditen, Volatilität, Handelsvolumina und Geld-Brief-Spannen nach. In einer zweiten Analyse führen wir ein long memory autoregressive conditional Poisson (LMACP)-Modell zur Modellierung hoch-persistenter diskreter positivwertiger Zeitreihen ein. Das Modell verwenden wir zur Prognose von Geld-Brief-Spannen, einem zentralen Parameter im Aktienhandel. Wir diskutieren theoretische Eigenschaften des LMACP-Modells und evaluieren rollierende Prognosen von Geld-Brief-Spannen an den NYSE und NASDAQ Börsenplätzen. Wir zeigen, dass Poisson-Zeitreihenmodelle in diesem Kontext signifikant bessere Vorhersagen liefern als ARMA-, ARFIMA-, ACD- und FIACD-Modelle. Zuletzt widmen wir uns der optimalen Messung von Volatilität auf kleinen 20 Sekunden bis 5 Minuten Zeitintervallen. Neben der Verwendung von realized volatility-Ansätzen konstruieren wir Volatilitätsmaße durch Integration von spot volatility-Schätzern, sodass auch Beobachtungen außerhalb der kleinen Zeitintervalle in die Volatilitätsschätzungen eingehen. Ein Vergleich der Ansätze in einer Simulationsstudie zeigt, dass Volatilitätsmaße basierend auf spot volatility-Schätzern den RMSE minimieren.
In this thesis we present econometric models and empirical features of intra-daily (high frequency) stock market data. We focus on the measurement of news impacts on stock market activity, forecasts of bid-ask spreads and the modeling of volatility measures on intraday intervals. First, we quantify market reactions to an intraday stock-specific news flow. Using pre-processed data from an automated news analytics tool we analyze relevance, novelty and direction signals and indicators for company-specific news. Employing a high-frequency VAR model based on 20 second data of a cross-section of stocks traded at the London Stock Exchange we find distinct responses in returns, volatility, trading volumes and bid-ask spreads due to news arrivals. In a second analysis we introduce a long memory autoregressive conditional Poisson (LMACP) model to model highly persistent time series of counts. The model is applied to forecast quoted bid-ask spreads, a key parameter in stock trading operations. We discuss theoretical properties of LMACP models and evaluate rolling window forecasts of quoted bid-ask spreads for stocks traded at NYSE and NASDAQ. We show that Poisson time series models significantly outperform forecasts from ARMA, ARFIMA, ACD and FIACD models in this context. Finally, we address the problem of measuring volatility on small 20 second to 5 minute intra-daily intervals in an optimal way. In addition to the standard realized volatility approaches we construct volatility measures by integrating spot volatility estimates that include information on observations outside of the intra-daily intervals of interest. Comparing the alternative volatility measures in a simulation study we find that spot volatility-based measures minimize the RMSE in the case of small intervals.

Aiming at empirical findings, this work focuses on applying the HEAVY model for daily volatility with financial data from the Brazilian market. Quite similar to GARCH, this model seeks to harness high frequency data in order to achieve its objectives. Four variations of it were then implemented and their fit compared to GARCH equivalents, using metrics present in the literature. Results suggest that, in such a market, HEAVY does seem to specify daily volatility better, but not necessarily produces better predictions for it, what is, normally, the ultimate goal. The dataset used in this work consists of intraday trades of U.S. Dollar and Ibovespa future contracts from BM&FBovespa.
Objetivando resultados empíricos, este trabalho tem foco na eaplicação do modelo HEAVY para volatilidade diária com dados financeiros do mercado Brasileiro. Muito similar ao GARCH, este modelo busca explorar dados em alta frequência para atingir seus objetivos. Quatro variações dele foram então implementadas e seus ajustes comparadados a equivalentes GARCH, utilizando métricas presentes na literatura. Os resultados sugerem que, neste mercado, o HEAVY realmente parece especificar melhor a volatilidade diária, mas não necessariamente produz melhores previsões, o que, normalmente, é o objetivo final. A base de dados utilizada neste trabalho consite de negociações intradiárias de contratos futuros de dólares americanos e Ibovespa da BM&FBovespa.

Mestrado em Finanças
Este estudo analisa o efeito do humor dos investidores no mercado bolsista. Nos últimos anos muitos autores encontraram uma relação entre desporto e humor e, tendo por base essas descobertas, decidimos utilizar os resultados dos jogos das selecções nacionais de futebol como variável de humor. Concluímos que a média dos retornos diários após dias de jogo é inferior à que se verifica nos dias subsequentes a dias em que não foram disputados jogos e que as derrotas têm um impacto estatisticamente significativo nos retornos após dias de jogo.
This study analyzes the effect of investors' mood in the stock market. In the past years many authors found a relationship between sports and mood and, motivated by those findings, in our study we use international football as a variable of mood. We conclude that the daily mean returns after game days are lower than the ones after no game days and that losses have a statistical significant impact in the returns that follows a game day.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the pricing relationship between the FTSE 100 Stock Index and the FTSE 100 Stock Index futures market. We develop and apply a framework in which it is possible to evaluate whether or not markets can be said to function effectively and efficiently. The framework is applied to both the daily and intra-daily pricing relationship between the aforementioned markets. In order to analyse the pricing relationship within days, we develop a new method to remove the effects of nonsynchronous trading from the FTSE 100 Index. We find that on a daily basis the markets generally function effectively, although this does not carryover to the intra-daily pricing relationship. This is especially true during the October 1987 stock market crash, where it is argued that a possible cause of the breakdown lies with the stock market. If this is the case, then any regulation should be aimed at the stock market, not the stock index futures market.

Abstract:

Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att beskriva dagligvaruhandelns lokalisering och strukturomvandling i Gävleregionen (A-region 56). Att studera dagligvaruhandeln ger en bild av samhällsförändringen över tiden och en föraning av framtida tendenser.

Metod: Undersökningen genomfördes med hjälp av data tillhandahållet av Handelns utredningsinstitut (HUI). Dagligvarubutikernas lokalisering visas i geografiska kartor och de olika butikstypernas marknadsandelar studeras för att belysa strukturomvandlingen.

Resultat & slutsats: Det presenterade resultatet visar ett allt glesare butiksnät med färre och större enheter.

Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Uppsatsen begränsas till att endast undersöka dagligvaruhandelns lokalisering och strukturomvandlingen i Gävleregionen (A-region 56). En liknande studie över ett större geografiskt område skulle ge en än bättre bild över dagligvaruhandelns utveckling.

Uppsatsens bidrag: Uppsatsen kan med fördel studeras av intressenter inom samhällsplanering, fastighetsekonomi och handel.

Aim: This paper aims at describing the location and structural change of the daily retail market in the Gävle region (A- region 56). To study the daily retail market gives a picture of the social change over the time and a presentiment of future tendencies.

Method: The investigation is founded on data supplied by Handelns utredningsinstitut (HUI). The retail location is portrayed in geographic maps and the evolution of the respective market shares of different store size categories are studied in order to elucidate the structural transformation.

Result & Conclusions: The presented result shows a sparser shop network with fewer and larger units.

Suggestions for future research: The investigation is limited to the daily retail market location and structural change in the Gävle region (A-region 56). A similar study over a larger geography area would give a better picture over the daily retail markets development.

Contribution of the thesis: The results are relevant within community planning, real estate economics and trade.

Abstract:

Este trabalho propõe um novo modelo estocástico para o número diário de negócios com ações do mercado de capitais brasileiro. O modelo, que denominamos ZINB-HF (Zero-Inflated Negative Binomial Harvey-Fernandes), é uma extensão do modelo de uma escala local para dados de contagem. Nesse modelo, o número diário de negócios segue uma distribuição binomial negativa com relação serial. A distribuição binomial negativa é gerada através de três modelos microestruturais independentes do processo de negociação. O principal deles baseia-se no conceito de rupturas aleatórias no processo gerador dos retornos, que ocorrem num referencial de tempo alternativo, definido pelas próprias ocorrências de negócios. O segundo modelo microestrutural sugerido para justificar o uso da binomial negativa remete ao conceito de heterogeneidade não-observada nas periodicidades de negociação por parte dos agentes de mercado. O terceiro remete ao conceito de contágio positivo devido a um processo auto-reforçador da liquidez de uma ação. A distribuição binomial negativa autocorrelatada do modelo de escala local é suposta zero-inflada, isto é, a probabilidade de zero negócios em um dia qualquer é maior do que a distribuição binomial negativa pura indicaria, devido à existência de suspensões forçadas na negociação. O modelo ZINB-HF proposto é usado como processo direcionador dos retornos diários da ação, no contexto de deformação temporal. O trabalho conclui com um estudo de caso com uma ação representativa do mercado brasileiro.
This thesis proposes a new stochastic model for the daily number of transactions with stocks in the Brazilian capital market. The model, which we call ZINB-HF (Zero – Inflated Negative Binomial Harvey- Fernandes), is an extension of a local scale model for count data. In it, the daily number of transactions follows a serially correlated negative binomial distribution. The negative binomial is generated through three independent microstructural models of the transaction process. The main model is based on the concept of random ruptures in the returns generating process, which occur in an alternative time frame of reference, defined by the transactions themselves. The second microstrutural model suggested, to justify the usage of a negative binomial points to the concept of non observed heterogeneity in the frequency of trading by market agents. The third one is based on the concept of positive contagion related to a self-reinforcing process of liquidity on the stock. The serially correlated negative binomial of the local scale model is supposed zero inflated, which means that the probability of zero transactions in any day is larger than indicated by a pure negative binomial, due to the existence of forced breaks in trading. The proposed ZINB-HF model is used as a directing process of daily returns of the stock, in the framework of a time deformation model. The work concludes with a case study a representative Brazilian stock.

Este trabalho estuda a caracterização e o desempenho dos vendedores que comercializam produtos alimentares no maior mercado informal de Angola,localizado no município de Viana, província de Luanda designado por "Mercado do 30". Para analisar os indicadores de desempenho dos vendedores deste mercado realizamos um estudo de campo que consistiu num inquérito por questionário contendo 16 questões fechadas. Este questionário foi passado a uma amostra significativa de 602 vendedores que comercializam produtos agrícolas e frescos. Os resultados mostram que para as subpopulações existentes, independentemente dos vendedores serem de produtos agrícolas ou de produtos frescos, os indicadores mais importantes utilizados para medir e avaliar quantitativamente o desempenho dos mesmos, foram os seguintes: receita média diária; produto comercializado; tempo de venda no mercado dos vendedores pertencentes e pela quantidade de produto comercializado.
This paper analyzes the performance determinants of vendors that sell food products in the "Mercado do 30" in the municipality of Viana, Luanda province, Angola. To analyze the determinants carried out a field study on the market and implemented a questionnaire survey containing 16 questions to 602 sellers of a target 1234 population and fresh market agricultural products also aimed to provide information leading to a better perception of the objectives achieved. The results show that, for all chosen subpopulations, regardless of values and variables, the determinants are the average daily revenue, the type of product, selling time and quantity.

Abstract:

This dissertation is composed of three essays at the intersection of international trade and finance. In the first chapter, I measure exchange rate pass-through (ERPT) for value-added exports, where intermediate input requires sharing among countries in a back-and-forth manner for producing a single final product. I derive an estimating equation for ERPT and value-added trade following a partial equilibrium model, which also leads to decomposition of the trade elasticity into the own price effect and the price index effects. From the empirical estimation, I find that ignoring the value-added trade will cause a systematic upward bias in the estimation of ERPT. I also find that there exists substantial heterogeneity in pass-through rates across sectors: sectors with high-integration into global markets functions with a lower rate of exchange in comparison to sectors with less integration. The second essay focuses on a specific market, where I examine the relationship between product attributes and ERPT. This paper estimates the ERPT by using good-level daily data on wholesale prices of imported agricultural products, where the identification is achieved by using daily data on the domestic inflation rate. The results of standard empirical analyses are in line with existing studies that employ lower frequencies of data by showing evidence for incomplete daily ERPT of about 5 percent. The key innovation is achieved when nonlinearities in ERPT are considered, where ERPT is doubled to about 10 percent when daily nominal exchange rate changes are above 0.55 percent, daily frequencies of price change are above 3.12 percent, the storage life of a product is above 10 weeks, and for the non-zero price changes, the ERPT is complete. In the final essay, I focus on the firms’ export pricing strategy: pricing-to-market strategy. To achieve this, I introduce a partial equilibrium model of firm’s pricing strategy, where the market share of a firm plays an important role in the determination of markup. The empirical estimation is that markup ranges from 1.25 to 1.5 across years and 1.25 to 51.23 across firms. I also find that markups come back to their average level within 30 to 60 days of the initial date.

Abstract:

Drawing on recent discussions of relational embeddedness and socio-technical agencement, this thesis analyses the relationship between stock trading and lay investors’ daily lives, including their social relations, activities, events, devices, places, work and ways of thinking. Taiwan’s stock market provides an appropriate location for investigation because of the dominance of lay investors in the market and the high proportion of Taiwan’s adult population who engage in stock trading. The data were obtained from three main sets of sources: in-depth interviews, document analysis and ethnographic observation. I argue that lay market actors are not only framed by the market’s mechanisms, but also by daily-life structures. The Taiwan Stock Exchange, as an electronic, anonymous financial market, has been a challenge to the embeddedness approach due to the absence of direct interaction between the parties to transactions. This study presents another aspect of socio-economic relationships in the market: the role of financial-market activity in wider social interactions. Like taking part in any popular social activity, lay investors’ social ties are maintained and expended by engaging in stock trading. Social relations and stock trading are woven together and form a largely seamless whole, part of lay investors’ daily life. The socio-technical agencements of lay investors contain distinctive features: diversity, bricolage, use of non-professional ‘devices’, action in non-financial places, everyday means of controlling market risk and association with everyday events. The differences between the agencements of lay investors and professional practitioners produce an asymmetry of calculative capabilities between market actors. Superior calculative capabilities tend to give an advantage to professional practitioners in the market, but these strengths are constrained by political and economic factors. This study sheds light on micro social factors, which are comparable with economic, institutional and psychological explanations, in accounting for lay investors’ behaviours in financial markets. The analysis also suggests the compatibility of the three important social science approaches to economic agents: Granovetter’s embeddedness, Zelizer’s relational work and Callon’s agencement.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Concentrated market power and information asymmetry represent forms of market failure within the South African dairy supply chain. Following deregulation, instead of large numbers of buyers and sellers so that no buyer or seller holds significant amount of power to influence the market; and perfect information availability and accessibility, the supply chain is characterised by market concentration at processor and retailer level as well as information asymmetry. South Africa‘s number of dairy farmers has declined by up to 50% since 1997, and they face a small number of processors which have regional dominance. These processors sell to a concentrated retail sector which is the main distribution channel for milk and dairy products. As processors and supermarkets emerge as major drivers within the dairy supply chain; processors in South Africa utilise the information asymmetry to engage in anticompetitive behaviour while supermarkets exert their power through the conditions of sale in contracts with processors as well as the threat of in-house brands. Farmers have less bargaining power and receive lower farm gate prices than they would have in the absence of concentrated market power and information asymmetry. Consequently, these market failures are detrimental to allocative efficiency and the enhancement of equity objectives. By method of a literature based comparative analysis, this study investigates the nature and extent of concentrated market power and information asymmetry within the selected dairy countries namely; South Africa, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK, and USA. The dairy supply chains in these countries show a spectrum of government control, such as Canada‘s system of supply management, Australia‘s deregulated system, and the US system which is mostly characterised by government intervention. The study then analyses how the selected countries address market failure within the dairy supply chain. An analysis of agricultural and dairy policies and strategies within the selected countries shows that systems that are designed to consider broader social goals (equity) apart for economic efficiency are more successful in preventing problems of concentrated market power and information asymmetry. The ways that the selected countries address the problems of concentrated market power and information asymmetry are analysed for applicability to the South African dairy supply chain. Is it recommended that in order to position the South African dairy supply chain to address problems of concentrated market power and information asymmetry effectively, a departure from the strict adherence to the market, to move towards a reregulated system in which broader social and environmental goals are considered by multiple stakeholders in formulating policy and strategy within the supply chain is required.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Markkonsentrasie en inligting asimmetrie as vorme van markmislukkings kom voor in die Suid-Afrikaanse suiwelbedryf. Sedert deregulering het die getalle kopers en verkopers steeds nie voldoende toegeneem sodat geen van hulle genoeg bedingingsmag het om die mark beduidend te beïnvloed nie. Verder is markinligting se beskikbaarheid en toeganklikheid steeds ontoereikend. Die suiwelaanbodketing word gekenmerk deur markkonsentrasie op verwerkings- en kleinhandelvlak. Inligting asimmetrie heers ook steeds. Die getal suiwelprodusente in Suid-Afrika het sedert 1997 met 50% gedaal. Die suiwelprodusente verkoop melk aan 'n klein getal melkverwerkers wat die mark op plaaslike vlak oorheers. Hierdie verwerkers verkoop weer aan 'n gekonsentreerde kleinhandelsektor wat as die belangrikste verspreiders van melk en verwerkte suiwelprodukte dien. Die verwerkers en kleinhandelaars is die pasaangeërs in die suiwelaanbodkanaal. Die verwerkers gebruik inligting asimmetrie in onmededingende optrede jeens primêre produsente en supermarkte oefen hul markkrag jeens verwerkers uit deur middel van verkoopsvoorwaardes en afdreiging met voorkeur vir eie handelsmerke. Primêre produsente se bedingingsmag krimp en hulle ontvang laer plaashekpryse as wat hulle sou ontvang in die afwesigheid van markkonsentrasie elders in die aanbodkanaal en in die afwesigheid van inligting asimmetrie. Hierdie markmislukkings benadeel die mark se allokasiedoeltreffendheid en die bevordering van billikheidsoorwegings. Hierdie ondersoek behels 'n vergelykende ontleding van die aard en omvang van markkonsentrasie en inligting asimmetrie in geselekteerde suiwellande gegrond op 'n literatuurstudie. Die suiwellande is Suid Afrika, Australië, Kanada, Nieu Zeeland, Verenigde Koninkryk en die Verenigde State van Amerika. Die suiwelaanbodkettings in hierdie lande bevind hulself op 'n wye spektrum van regeringsbeheer, byvoorbeeld Kanada se aanbodbestuurstelsel, Australië se gedereguleerde stelsel en die VSA se stelsel wat die groter mate van statutêre regulering verteenwoordig. Die ondersoek fokus op die wyse waarop die geselekteerde lande markmislukkings in hul onderskeie suiwelaanbodkettings aanspreek. Die ondersoek toon dat daardie suiwelaanbodkettings wat ingerig is om breër sosiale doelwitte soos billikheid te verreken, en dus wyer te fokus as bloot ekonomiese doeltreffendheid, meer suksesvol is om magskonsentrasie en inligting asimmetrie te voorkom. Die wyse waarop die geselekteerde lande magskonsentrasie en inligting asimmetrie hanteer word geevalueer in terme van die toepaslikheid daarvan vir die Suid-Afrikaanse suiwelaanbodketting. Teen hierdie agtergrond word aanbeveel dat afgewyk word van 'n streng navolging van die vrye mark beginsel om die probleem van markkonsentrasie en inligting asimmetrie effektief aan te spreek. 'n Meer gereguleerde stelsel waarin verskeie belangegroepe se breër sosiale en omgewingsbewaring doelwitte in ag geneem word by strategie- en beleidformulering in die suiwelaanbodketting, word voorgestel.

This paper discuss about the street trade on São Luís downtown as a popular socioeconomic practice with especific logics and linked to the processes that are lately happening at the post-fordist society. It was emphasized the study of the socioecomic aspects and the implications in the urban daily of this practice. So that it was discussed about the street commerce relations with the informal work, the local organizational system and the working division, besides the daily shapes and sociabilities. This dissertation is based on field work combined to theoric-methodological discussions, this way a construction with a socio-antropological perspective. The elementary subject of this research was the attempt to understand the street trade as a complex social practice which articulates a social working system, human relations of intimate association, customization and economy.

Abstract:

O trabalho procura compreender o processo de estagnação urbana do distrito do Pari, um fenômeno que ocorre em determinadas áreas da metrópole como uma forma de criarem fronteiras de expansão ao capital imobiliário. Para compreender como esse processo ocorreu no distrito do Pari foi analisada a história da formação geográfica do bairro, a história social e demográfica, a história da atividade imobiliária e econômica e a história da Política pública do espaço. O processo ocorrido no Pari mostrou que o distrito concentra diversas atividades, usos, estrutura e população que, na verdade, podem ser considerados estagnados. Mas, mais importante do que a estagnação, é o fato que a sociedade considera essas atividades, usos, estrutura e população com desprezo e isso é uma forma ideológica que traz este conceito, uma vez que é associado com as classes mais pobres.
This thesis seeks the understanding the process of urban stagnation that took place in the District of Pari, São Paulo, Brazil. Urban stagnation is understood as a process which occurs in certain areas of a metropolis as a means of establishing barriers for the expansion of real estate capital. For the purpose of understanding how this process has occurred in that district it is analyzed its demographic, geographic, urban-spatial, economic, social and governmental history. Similarities and differences between different central districts of São Paulo are studied in order to understand the process Pari has undergone. It was shown that the district concentrates several activities, land uses, structures and population which, in fact, may be considered stagnant, but more important than that is the fact that society as a whole looks upon such activities, population, structures and land uses, with scorn and that stagnation is an ideological way of conveying that contempt, since they are associated with lower social classes.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the predictive power of six bivariate GARCH-CCC (constant conditional correlation) models; the GARCH (1, 1), BEKK GARCH (1, 1), GARCH-X (1, 1), BEKK-X (1, 1), GARCH-GJR (1, 1) and QGARCH (1, 1) based on both normal and student’s t distributions. Empirical investigations are conducted by forecasting the daily hedge ratios from agricultural futures markets using one-step-ahead over 1 year and 2 year out-of-sample period. The forecasting of OHR in agricultural and commodities’ futures markets has not been studied thoroughly and few publications are available in literature. My work enriches the literature and will hopefully provide guidance for hedging in these markets. To forecast the OHR, we apply data from three storable commodities, coffee, wheat and soybean and two non-storable commodities, live cattle and live hog. Four tests are conducted to evaluate the forecasting errors of out-of-sample forecasted return of the portfolio based on the forecasted OHR. Our study shows that the asymmetric GARCH model outperforms other models, and the standard GARCH is the weakest for 1-year forecast. However, the standard GARCH model performs well for 2-year forecast of live cattle with student’s t distributed residuals. More generally, the BEKK and asymmetric GJR and QGARCH models are recommended to forecast OHR on both 1-year and 2-year horizons with normal and student’s t distributions for storable products and the asymmetric models for non-storable commodities. Furthermore, our study demonstrates that the predictive power of GARCH models depends on the distribution of residuals, the commodity and also the length of the forecast horizons. This result is consistent with the those from Poon and Granger (2003) and Chen et.al (2003). Given accurately forecasted OHR, investors can determine appropriate hedging strategies for portfolio management to reduce or transfer risks, and prepare for the capital needed for hedging.

Abstract:

This thesis deals with the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in the transport of raw fluid milk from its origin on the farm to the processing plant. Current applications of GIS in transportation planning are discussed. Spatial, physical, administrative and legal constraints affecting the shipment of fluid milk are outlined, especially the roles of government legislation and dairy cooperatives. GIS is used to evaluate milk hauling efficiencies on both local and regional scales. The case study focuses on Rockingham and Augusta counties in northwestern Virginia and the surrounding hinterland. On the local scale GIS network functions are used to determine optima] routes for milk trucks between dairy farms in these counties and the processing plant in Mt. Crawford, Virginia. Comparisons are made between the results achieved by GIS and the results obtained through traditional methods of route planning. A regional scale case study uses GIS allocation functions to evaluate the effect of government regulations (Federal and State Order Markets) on the efficiency of hauling fluid milk from farms in the study area to plants outside the region. Results indicate that government regulations and cooperative decisions shape the morphology of fluid milk shipment and that GIS is a useful tool for regional milk marketing. Finally, a mail survey assesses the present use of automated systems and GIS among dairy cooperatives, and the possibility of future implementation of such systems in the dairy industry.

Abstract:

A challenge procedure was developed aimed at simulating a ketotic stress situation in dairy heifers. Parameters of the metabolic response were analyzed for their potential as metabolic markers for milk production. The challenge consisted of 5 IU insulin per 100 kg b.w. followed by an infusion of 2.0 g D(-)betahydroxybutyrate (BHB) per 100 kg b.w.. Eight blood samples were drawn within 120 minutes and analyzed for BHB, glucose and free fatty acids (FFA). A total of 125 challenge tests were performed on 93 Hoistein heifers of 6 to 13 months in 2 groups. In group 1, 26 heifers were challenged twice within 4 weeks, forming challenge series 1 and series 2, respectively. In group 2, 38 heifers were challenged in series 3 and 34 heifers in series 4 which included 6 repeated heifers from series 3. BHB concentrations, immediately after the infusion, were 11.75 ±0.43, 11.92 ±0.44, 10.96 ±0.36 and 11.93 ±0.37 mg/100ml (mean±s.e.) in the 4 series. Plasma concentrations of glucose decreased for 30 to 35 minutes as well as free fatty acids for 25 to 30 minutes following the insulin injection. Additional analyses of 10 biochemical plasma compounds in a subset of 14 heifers showed that no other metabolites or enzymes changed significantly subsequent to the challenge. Weight of the heifers was the most important factor affecting response parameters. Parameters of the response in plasma concentrations of BHB, glucose and FFA were estimated using regression models fitted to the concentration curves and were analyzed for repeatability, heritability and correlations with breeding value for milk yield (BV). The repeatability of BHB and glucose response varied between the two groups but the different age structure did not systematically affect the results after correction for weight. Repeatability estimates were: Clearance of BHB 0.215 (group 1) and 0.758 (group 2); Half-life time of BHB 0.478 (1) and 0.578 (2); Volume of distribution of BHB 0.537 (1); Time to lowest concentration of glucose (t[sub min]) 0.485 (1) and 0.112 (2); ratio of clearance to t[sub min] 0.290 (1) and 0.253 (2). FFA parameters were not repeatable. The repeatability estimates were higher than 0.5 for amylase, alkaline phosphatase, creatinine, cholesterol and COT. The repeatability was zero (negative) for protein and urea. Genetic parameters were estimated using an iterative M1VQUE procedure with an additive sire model. Twenty-five sires with an average of 3.1 daughters were included. Heritabilities were estimable for clearance of BHB (h² =0.42) and minimum concentration of glucose (h² =0.47). The genetic correlation between the two parameters was r[sub g] =-0.41. Correlations between response parameters and BV were generally low and not consistent in heifers for which BV was estimated using pedigree information of expected transmitting ability (ETA) of sire (62 heifers), dam (75) or both (47). In stepwise multiple regression with ETA of sire as dependent variable, clearance (C[sub M]), the ratio of C[sub M] with time to minimum concentration of glucose (t[sub min]), biological half-life time of BHB (t[sub ½]) and minimum concentration of glucose (A[sub min]) were the regressors chosen in the best 4-variable model, accounting for 11.4 % of the variability of ETA. It was concluded that the challenge caused short-term changes similar to subclinical ketosis in plasma concentrations of BHB and glucose, but failed to provoke a generalized metabolic reaction. The repeatable parameters of BHB and glucose concentrations were considered possible indicators for the prospective performance of the heifers.

Abstract:

The total number of operating dairy farms in the US has decreased by 74.1% over the past 25 years, dropping from 155,339 in 1992 to just 40,219 in 2017. As milk prices have fallen and become more volatile, profit margins have tightened, causing farmers to leave the business due to low profitability. Some Vermont farmers are currently looking for new economic strategies. One approach has been to transition from conventional to organic production in order to take advantage of better prices and new market opportunities. In order to make production decisions, farmers need accurate financial information on the costs and benefits of the various options available. Since 2004, UVM Extension has collected panel data on organic dairy farms in Vermont to help meet this growing need. As a part of UVM’s long-term organic dairy profitability research, this study analyzed 10 years of financial panel data (2006-2017) from an unbalanced panel of approximately 40 organic dairy farms in Vermont. For article 1, a multivariate fixed effects regression model was used to identify key factors influencing farm profitability and estimate their effects on Return on Assets. Variables related to feeding management, farm management, farm characteristics, input costs, and year were shown to be significant. For article 2, industry wide milk price trends were compared with descriptive statistics on Vermont organic dairy profitability outcomes across a 3-year period (2015-2017) in order to test the hypothesis that recent price shifts have a had a noticeable effect on farm profitability. Despite limited data for 2017, results indicated a study-wide reduction in ROA in line with national market trends. In identifying management and market factors associated with profitability, this thesis provides valuable decision-making information for farmers interested in switching to organic. Results suggest that feeding management and milk quality improvements can improve profitability outcomes on Vermont farms. Vermont farmers will also benefit from the updated cost of production and financial performance data presented here. Evidence from this thesis also supports a need for new supply management policies and a more nuanced approach to organic dairy profitability research.

Abstract:

Alfalfa is the fourth largest commodity grown in the Western U.S., representing 20% of the crop acreage over the past twenty years. In the last five years alfalfa hay price has doubled from what it was previously, indicating a possible structural change in the market. This research project was completed to test for this structural change using econometric analysis of the important demand components of alfalfa price. In addition to this, simulations of an average Utah dairy were completed to examine which ratio of forage crops provided the highest economic return to the operation. To analyze the structural change of the alfalfa hay market milk price, feeder price, commodity price, dairy inventory, alfalfa ending stocks, alfalfa exports, a structural shift dummy variable, and two proxy variables representing costs and quality were regressed, explaining 76% of the variation in alfalfa hay price. A Chow-test of the divided data set provided evidence that a structural change occurred in the alfalfa hay market circa 1994. Percent changes in the independent variables and corresponding changes in alfalfa price were calculated, showing that milk price has the largest influence over alfalfa price. An in-sample forecast showed that the regression was able to predict alfalfa hay price to within an average of $14 of the actual price over the time frame included in the analysis. The simulation of an average Utah dairy was done at three levels of production: 18,300 lbs, 22,500 lbs., and 26,700 lbs. production. Within each level of production the alfalfa to corn silage ratio was varied to represent 25/75, 50/50, and 75/25%, respectively, of the dry matter forage requirement. It was found that return to management was the greatest when alfalfa was 25% of the ration and at the lowest when alfalfa was 75% of the ration at all levels of production.

Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 1993. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/1333/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis analyzes the nature of State intervention in agricultural commodity markets in the Indian province of Kerala in the period 1960-80. Attributing the lack of dynamism in the agrarian sector to market imperfections, the Government of Kerala has intervened both directly through departmentally run institutions and indirectly through public sector corporations. The failure of both these institutional devices encouraged the government to adopt marketing co-operatives as the preferred instruments of market intervention. Co-operatives with their decentralised, democratic structures are, in theory, capable of combining autonomous decision-making capacity with accountability to farmer members. The Government of Kerala believed that this institutional mechanism would aggregate the interests of peasants and thereby transform them into powerful market agents. We, however, argue that the nature of the interest group process, both within the organisation and in the larger polity, significantly, distorts policy outcomes. First, the nature of the intervention - the deployment of massive financial resources, the top-down approach with its commitment to the achievement of quantitative targets and the capital intensity of many of the projects-afford opportunities to powerful groups such as professional politicians and State bureaucrats to maximise their own interests. Second, groups within the organisation such as farmer-politicians with their proximity to decision-makers and trade unions with their links to political leaders are able to divert an increasing share of the organisation's resources to themselves. In the process, farmers, in whose name these policies are initiated, experience negative consequences. The above hypothesis is tested by analysing the implementation of Operation Flood-India's dairy development programme. Operation Flood (OF) was launched by the Government of India with the avowed aim of increasing farm incomes through an institutional framework( the Anand Pattern Co-operative of Gujarat) in which farmers would have control over their own resources. This research, however, finds that owing to interest group processes, the programme has produced sub-optimal results in Kerala. Producer prices have remained stagnant, while production costs have soared. Farmers have responded by restricting supplies, which has led to massive shortages in the market. Meanwhile the fiscal foundations of the organisations have been undermined, as powerful groups appropriated an increasing share of the organisations' resources. An intervention intended to optimise benefits for farmers, in fact, resulted in the dominant interest groups within the polity maximising their benefits.

Abstract:

Agricultural markets are often characterised by imperfect competition between buyers of farm produce. Cooperatives are often regarded as one possible way to enhance welfare for small producers, while others view them as an inefficient historical relic. My thesis investigates empirically the coexistence of cooperative and capitalistic processing and marketing firms in the market for raw milk in three Italian provinces, using a dataset I collected via a survey of dairy farmers. First, I analyse what accounts for variation in market structure within each province and what drives coop membership when choice is available. Geography is found to influence both number and nature of processing firms operating at a given location. Where farms are more isolated and scale of production is smaller, cooperatives have – historically – tended to prevail, and often remain the only buyer today. Where both coops and capitalistic processors are available, parental membership status is more important for the decision of a farmer to join the cooperative, suggesting some degree of inertia. Second, I investigate whether there is any evidence that selling through a cooperative makes a difference for farmers, with respect to both price and non-price characteristics of the relationship. With respect to non-price characteristics, results show that cooperatives draw less complex contracts with members compared to capitalistic processors with their suppliers, are less likely to pay a lower price than agreed, and more likely to offer technical assistance. Members and non-members do not appear to differ in their perceived net benefits from the exchange relationship, but benefits from membership appear to be larger for smaller than larger farmers. As regards whether cooperative membership, per se, has any effect on price paid to farmers, the theoretical literature suggests that asymmetric price competition between two firms with different objective functions, in a spatial market, under different spatial pricing policies, can lead to price differences between the two. This prediction is tested by estimating the effect of coop membership on prices paid using four different nonexperimental evaluation methods. The results show a positive and significant effect of membership, driven by more remote farmers with smaller scale of production, located in areas of cooperative monopsony.

Abstract:

Background: As Porter’s diamond (1990) suggested, the business environment highly influences firms’ strategies. Today, most of the companies have to decide their strategy depending from a worldwide business environment. Yet, strategy researches and the growing importance of marketing for business success also show that customer dimension must be taken into consideration. On some markets and in certain industries, the offer is much higher than the demand and then, companies need to attract customers. On the national level, companies multiply customer surveys in order to reach their expectations. On the global level, this is more complicated. Adaptation seeks to customise product offerings to be more tailored to a particular culture’s needs and tastes, and thus, can gather a greater market share than would be allowed by offering only a standardised product. In this thesis, we decide to look deeper at industry circumstances, corporation’s customisation strategies and competitive advantages of customisation in order to know whether companies can use customisation to be more profitable. We also want to investigate how the development situation of the industry and the function of customer orientation influence the company’s strategies; and how companies use their customer adaptation strategies to adapt their products and marketing to local markets.

Purpose: The purpose of our work is to develop companies’ awareness on the effects of customisation and of adapting their products to customer behaviours by developing customers’ point of view and by comparing it to companies’ strategies.

Results: According to the research results, Nestlé has adopted the customised strategies to adapt to French and Chinese dairy markets. Based on the Sheth’s model, we refined a new model by completing Sheth’s one with two dimensions - customer focus dimension and market type dimension. We characterised the customer orientation strategy and the standardisationstrategy, which are the two principal choices the companies need to do regarding the product design. Moreover, to add a new element in those well-known strategies, we introduced a nuance into the corporate strategies depending on the aiming market situation.

Institutional voids are typically found in emerging economies. When governments lack in essential facilities, in order to ensure the well function of their supply chains, companies have to properly deal with this situation by themselves. An example is a situation happening in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, since 2013, where a sequence of investigations focused on the dairy industry. Due to a lack of regulation, milk was the target of adulterations throughout the supply chain processes of the companies. The frauds affected processes of companies from different sizes and nationalities. However, in this context, a local cooperative called Cooperativa Languiru, one of the leader dairy companies in the state, has different practices with its suppliers and was not affected by this contingency. Thus, the purpose of this research, through a case study, was to analyze the relationship between a dairy buying company and its suppliers in this environment of regulatory institutional voids. Aiming to have a wider perspective, this qualitative study explored how the lack of institutions affected the sector. As results, it was verified that political and economic interferences affect the chain as well as political lobby acts. Likewise, the lack of inspectors and infrastructure impact the well-functioning of it. Nevertheless, the close relation between the Cooperativa Languiru with its suppliers abled the company to have record results without having situations in terms of adulteration. Thus, this study proposed a research framework conceptualizing that firms must closely manage their relations with suppliers in order to deal with institutional voids.
