Abstract:
This study examines three aspects of financing of companies, namely, leases, debt and dividends. Part of the main objectives of the study are to determine whether th~re is a relationship between leasing and the tax paying positions of companies, and whether leases displace debt. The evidence observed by the study suggests that there is no relationship between leasing and the tax paying positions of companies. The evidence also suggests that leases displace only a very small amount of debt. Some other indications from the evidence are that companies that use leases are not significantly differe

Out of those 165 countries, 98 are classified by the United Nations as low or low-middle income countries and 67 are classified as high or high-middle income countries.

Abstract:
This dissertation investigates human economic behavior in contexts which are characterized by different types of human interaction. First, we analyze the effects of introducing asymmetric information in an investment game (Berg et al., 1995), in which the division of an economic surplus between a trustor and a trustee is not contractible. Backward induction suggests that rational self-interested players would not voluntarily engage in any transaction, unless they expect trust and reciprocity to play a role in determining the behavior of their counterparts. In our experiment, only the trustee i

On the contrary, low-status males resist more during collective decisions. Third experiment investigated the impact of two-dimensional soci

Even a well planned marketing strategy may fail if a country or region goes through a rapid business decline. As consumers' income drops, they must shift their spending patterns.

This generally means adapting the marketing mix and/or changing the target markets.

According to the standard life-cycle hypothesis, all expected future incomes should be incorporated into an individual’s life-time budget and therefore affect current economic behavior.

To empirically test this, I take advantage of the combined facts that individuals in Sweden are legal heirs to their childless sibling and that the probability of inheriting a childless sibling increases with

Private companies extend less trade credit the higher the amount of inventories they hold and the lower the share of capital owned by foreign agents. Consistent with the Triangle Debt Dilemma, state-owned enterprises and collective enterprises are more likely to obtain trade credit if they have previously extended it. We then examine the effect of
