Abstract:
ABSTRACT Real estate purchase in today’s market is an extensive issue and a concern especially to homeowners and for those who intend to own houses for the first time. Consumers have experienced dissatisfaction one way or the other in the form of settling in unexpected properties, struggling to pay their mortgages and in the long-run becoming victims to repossession and foreclosures. This study aimed at integrating the buying behaviour of consumer with the need of the consumer in the mortgage market using social marketing and consumer behaviour concepts to make emphasis on the need for the consumer to understand these concepts in making the right purchases. A consumer shortfall in getting the right type of property and mortgage arrangements is as a result of the complex involvement in the purchasing process of durable product such as a property. This study reviewed the buying behaviour of the consumer using the comprehensive models of consumer decision making. The model involved three stages namely; information search, evaluation of alternatives and decision rules. Consumers obtain information through internal and external factors; this study reviewed the essence of gathering internal (experience, etc) and external information (mortgage advisors, estate agents, etc) as a very important base on which alternatives can be evaluated and the right mortgage decision made. The research question therefore states: How can the behaviour and understanding of the consumer be enhanced in the mortgage market with the aim of ultimately meeting the need of the consumer? A random sampling was carried out using a telephone interview to homeowners in UK. The UK yellow page (Telephone directory) was used to identify homeowners (first time buyer alongside with existing homeowners). These consumers were randomly selected and contacted on the telephone for quarter of an hour interview. The aim of the sampling was to determine whether consumer decisions over the couple of years concerning property purchase and mortgage arrangements has either met their expectation or otherwise. Semi-structured questions were used to help respondents in delivering specifically to pre-stated answers (yes/no) and elaborate on other answers where needed. The samples were analysed quantitatively in order to clarify the differences in views that respondents have made. Findings from the data sample confirmed that consumers (first-time buyers and existing homeowners) lack adequate and accurate information necessary for the ultimate and suitable choice of mortgage to purchase. Results from the findings brought to light the state of many consumers being dissatisfied with their choice of mortgage arrangements. Findings showed that many consumers struggled to gather extensively and process given information into the desired choice of mortgage. The influence of second parties such as mortgage brokers played major role in influencing the buying decisions of consumers. The outcome of the data gathered raises the concern of enhancing the consumer with knowledge, understanding and easier process of acquiring a suitable mortgage.

Abstract:
This paper describes the evolution of Chinese comprehensive planning and proposes a number of recommendations related to the country's economic development and political reform, based on analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the current approaches to comprehensive planning. Chinese urban planning has a long history. Its origin can be traced back to 5,000 years ago. The urban planning approaches advanced along with the development of Chinese cities. During the long history, Chinese people formulated a unique way of urban planning. The different urban planning approaches have specifically identifiable features in different historic periods. Particularly, with the establishment of the socialist regime in China in 1949, complete and systematic urban planning approaches were created. Today, when the country is proceeding with economic and political reforms, the reform of comprehensive planning approaches has also been undertaken in a significant way. The author poses a number of viewpoints for the potential transformation of the approaches in China, with particular emphasis on the change of planning mechanism (including planning process and implementation) and citizen participation.

Abstract:
Over the past forty years a tremendous number of women have entered the labor market, removing stay-home motherhood as the most dominant female occupation. The linkage between the change in the labor market and change in family structure has drawn a lot of attention from social scientists, and it is on this linkage that this analysis is focused. An essential dimension of this changing behavior is the sharp rise in out-ofwedlock childbearing. The central issue of non-married motherhood is more related to the diminishing willingness to marry than a changing attitude toward fertility. In a setting where individuals choose marriage because of the gains from joint production of child quality as well as the division of labor, the declining gains from specialization for men influence potential spouse selection. Men and women with fewer labor market prospects become less desirable, and consequently a marriage market with more positive assortative mating will be observed. The increase in female labor market participation is larger for highly-educated women but the decrease in marriage rates is more characteristic of less-educated women over this period. What drives these changes can be explained by using a simple economic theory, the fundamental concept of which is that couples with lower labor market prospects also face lower gains from marriage because of the increases in femalemale relative wages in the less-educated and black groups. A narrowing of the gap between male and female wages would reduce the gains from division of labor and lower the incentive to marry. In addition, when the marriage market becomes more positively assorted, low educated men and women are less likely to marry each other. Our empirical results indicate an increase in the homogeneity of wages between spouses over this period regardless of whether we control for education. In particular, black couples are more positively assorted than white couples although the trend converges by the end of the century. We also show that the marriage market is tilted towards better-educated men and women over the period. These findings are consistent with the theory which explains why single motherhood is more concentrated among lesseducated women.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to explore which laws and institutions are essential for a strong, well-developed and efficient securities market in Saudi Arabia. In connection with understanding the significance of the subject matter, this dissertation seeks to explore the development of the modern securities market, assess the recent efforts to create new rules and institutions that could modernise the market, and offer suggestions for reforms that could stimulate further market development. This addresses the issues of coherence in regulatory and supervisory rules and norms at national level. The Saudi market is not as competitive as other regional markets. It is a bank-dominated system in which several large institutions exert significant influence on the pattern and structure of market activities. The absence of non-bank intermediaries within the financial system has meant that the Saudi market is structurally less well developed. Indeed, the lack of competition in the market, due to the absence of market makers, has led to acute problems in the area of finance, where the lack of competition in the market has resulted in higher prices and a lower level of liquidity. At the same time, there are serious regulatory problems associated with a bank-dominated system. Recent work on these markets has shown that they are characterised by insufficient transparency, wide bid-ask spreads insider self-dealing and market manipulation. This thesis examines the transformations taking place in the regulation of the Saudi stock market and considers them against the backdrop of increased competition from other national exchanges in the Gulf region. This work also investigates the pressure to remove protectionism regulation put on the national supervisor by large investors seeking more accurate and timely information and the limitation of insider trading by structural insiders. This thesis will seek to show that the introduction of regulatory reforms could yield significant benefits for investors. The prospect of greater transparency and public disclosure of information about companies could enhance the relative liquidity of the Saudi Arabian exchange and lower the cost of transactions.

Abstract:
Japan is one of the world’s major importers of wood products. Most of the wood entering the country is destined to Japan’s house building industry. However, Japan has been an indifferent market regarding demand of wood products certified for sustainable forest management. Current pressures that may indicate a shift in market conditions include: the recent economic recovery, increasing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and the new government’s public purchasing policies (PPP) titled Timber Procurement Policies. In order to assess the market prospect (in the next 5 years) for wood products certified as coming from sustainable and/or legal sources a study was completed focusing on Japanese home builders. Data was collected through a self administered mail survey of residential builders in Japan. Results show that there is a low level of understanding, as well as willingness to adopt, forest management certification among Japanese builders. Consequently, current market demand for certified products is low and builders expect little change in consumers’ demand for wood materials certified for sustainable management as well as those certified for legality in the next five years. Builders considered the most important potential drivers for increased demand for certified and/or legal wood products to be rigorously implemented public purchasing policies, followed by increasing final consumers’ demand and the growth in CSR. Builders also estimated that the positive impact of PPPs would be rather modest but widespread. Finally, builders indicated that PPPs would favour demand for certain product categories, such as: domestic wood, softwoods, wood from plantation and to a lesser degree wood from temperate forests.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research provides South Africa's producers and exporters with information on new market opportunities for South Africa's selected agricultural and food products in the Southern African Development Community (SADC). There is increasing global competition and countries in Africa are increasingly targeted as export markets due to its population growth and its increasing per capita income. Both developed countries and developing countries such as the United States of America, China, Brazil, India, etc. are gradually increasing their exports to Africa. In Sub-Saharan Africa, this is also taking place in SADC. In this region, there has been a significant increase in total imports from the mentioned countries from 2001 to 2013. The International Trade Centre market selection method was used for product selection (using the Export Potential Index) and country selection (using the Market Attractiveness Index). Fourteen products were selected and Angola is the most attractive market in the region (SADC) and is ranked first in the Market Attractiveness Index for seven of the fourteen selected products. The top ranking markets for the 14 selected products were identified as: Mauritius for maize, sweetened milk powder, raw cane sugar and wheat or meslin flour; Angola for fresh apples, fresh or dried oranges, sparkling wine, bulk wine, refined cane or beet sugar, frozen bovine cuts, and frozen bovine carcasses and half carcasses; Mozambique for bottled wine; and Zambia for fresh grapes and soya beans. In most cases the countries with the second and third highest rankings in the Market Attractiveness Index also offer opportunities for market diversification. South Africa exports certain products to non-African countries, whereas these non-African countries export the same products to SADC. There are therefore opportunities geographically nearer to South Africa, because South Africa could export these products to SADC. Exporters should not necessarily abandon non-African markets in order to export to SADC; however they should be aware of opportunities close by and develop strategies to maximize profit and maintain sustainable markets.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie navorsing bied aan Suid-Afrika se produsente en uitvoerders inligting oor nuwe markgeleenthede vir Suid-Afrika se geselekteerde landbou-en voedselprodukte in die Suider Afrikaanse Ontwikkelingsgemeenskap (SAOG). Daar is toenemende globale mededinging en lande in Afrika word toenemend geteiken as uitvoermarkte as gevolg van bevolkingsgroei en die stygende per capita inkomste. Beide ontwikkelde en ontwikkelende lande soos die Verenigde State van Amerika, China, Brasilië, Indië, ens. verhoog geleidelik hulle uitvoere na Afrika. In Sub-Sahara Afrika, gebeur dit ook in SAOG. In hierdie streek, was daar „n betekenisvolle toename in invoere vanaf die genoemde lande van 2001 tot 2013. Die Internasionale Handelsentrum markseleksie metode is gebruik om produkte te kies (met die Uitvoer Potensiaal Indeks) en om lande te kies (met die Mark Aantreklikheidsindeks). Veertien produkte is gekies en Angola is die mees aantreklike mark in die streek (SAOG) en is bo-aan die lys in die Mark Aantreklikheidsindeks vir sewe van die veertien geselekteerde produkte. Die top markte vir die 14 geselekteerde produkte is geïdentifiseer as: Mauritius vir mielies, versoete melkpoeier, ruwe rietsuiker en mengkoringmeelblom; Angola vir vars appels, vars of gedroogde lemoene, vonkelwyn, grootmaat wyn, verwerkte riet- of beetsuiker, bevrore beessnitte, en bevrore bees karkasse en half karkasse; Mosambiek vir gebottelde wyn; en Zambië vir vars druiwe en vir sojabone. In meeste gevalle bied lande met die tweede en derde hoogste punte in die Mark Aantreklikheidsindeks ook geleenthede vir markdiversifikasie. Suid-Afrika voer sekere produkte uit na nie-Afrika lande, terwyl hierdie nie-Afrika lande weer dieselfde produkte na die SAOG uitvoer. Daar is dus geleenthede geografiese nader aan Suid-Afrika, want Suid-Afrika kan hierdie produkte na die SAOG uitvoer. Uivoerders moet nie noodwendig oorsese markte laat vaar om na die SAOG uit te voer nie, maar hulle moet bewus wees van nader geleenthede en strategieë ontwikkel om wins te maksimeer en volhoubare markte te handhaaf.

During the past decade in Japan, the sluggish economy has increased pressure on the nation's finance and had a negative impact on the public investment decision of the government. This has led to a reduced construction budget responding to the continuing slump with an expansion in public works investment. Since the end of World War II, the Japanese government has issued a huge amount of debt to finance public works. As a result, the total debt (the government bonds, loans payable, and government short term securities, or financing bills) added up to over 140% of GDP in 2002. To overcome the economic crisis, since June 2001, the Koizumi Cabinet has advanced wide-ranging structural reforms. Those include economic revitalization strategies, tax reform and reforms in major government expenditures expressed as a commitment to small government. As a part of these reform policies, the government has focused on the Private Finance Initiative (PFI) in order to rebuild national and local government economy with the purpose of achieving better partnerships between public and private sectors. Since the PFI Law went into effect in September 1999 there were 98 PFI deals, including 9 services started, 21 contracts completed and 68 guidelines announced for projects in Japan by March 2002. The increased level of activity is expected to continue and the relationship between public and private sector must change to meet the complex and challenging market needs as the market grows in the future. This thesis analyzes the current environment surrounding the Japanese PFI market and the current issues concerning basic components of the PFI such as "Value For Money" or risk transfer. This thesis also examines future possibilities for expanding the Japanese Version of PFI in the construction market and proposes possible areas for private financing including renewal works for aged infrastructure in the Japanese and overseas construction market.

Indium is a minor but very valuable metal. Decreasing supplies of indium from refining and increasing demands from LCD, low-temperature soldering and compound semiconductors have stimulated the indium price increase dramatically. Traditionally, indium is refined as a by-product of zinc refining. However, this type of indium extraction method is expected to last for the next 10-20 years and this opens a window to extract indium from other ores, especially from tin ore. Interestingly, extraction of indium from tin circuit can be considered as the major business and the pure tin metal is just considered as a by-product due to high indium price and low tin price. Relatively high estimated concentration levels of indium in Malaysian tin ore means that Malaysian tin refiners can withstand high degree of fluctuation of price in the free market due to hedge buying and speculation. Note that the business model for global indium market is duopoly or oligopoly but obviously not monopoly. Between duopoly and oligopoly, the most probable model is oligopoly. Thus, the potential competitors and partnership are also discussed here. Besides, LCD and low-temperature soldering and compound semiconductor are three main applications of indium which affect the indium price.
(cont.) The unique properties of indium for three major applications will be discussed from the material engineering prospective. A cost modeling spreadsheet has been built to estimate the cost of production of indium from tin and zinc ores under different conditions. Hence, the decision tree has been drawn based on the conditions of different indium concentration level and price. From the discussions on the sources, market, applications of indium, the future prospects for indium can be concluded. The outcomes of this work can be extended to cases outside of the geographical boundary of Malaysia by gathering some relevant information.

Abstract:
Biogas is largely utilised as vehicle fuel in public bus transport in Sweden today. This study investigates opportunities and barriers for continued domestic use and production of biogas, in relation to the ongoing electrification of public bus transport. The analysis is based on interviews with actors in public transport and the biogas sector, experts on biogas systems, and representatives for alternative user segments. Three regions were chosen as case-studies for investigations of prospects in public transport, i.e. Stockholm, Västra Götaland and Skåne, though alternative uses were studied from a national perspective. In addition to public transport, considered uses include road transport, sea transport, industries, and electricity and heat production. The study identifies a broad agreement among stakeholders that renewable resources should be implemented where they provide most benefits from a system perspective. Therefore, electric public buses are valued in urban environments, while biogas solutions are found suitable for regional routes. Biogas is further viewed as environmentally beneficial in all user segments except continuous electricity and heat production, where it largely would replace renewable rather than fossil sources. Regarding costs and competitiveness, probable future uses are identified within light and heavy-duty road transport, and in consumer-oriented industries, i.e. the food industry. Economic support in policy instruments is further considered essential for continuous development of the Swedish biogas sector, though current influential instruments, e.g. the tax exemption, are described as short-term and unpredictable. The willingness to pay for the collected societal benefits of biogas further decrease in transitions from public to private consumers, and as biogas solutions simultaneously are linked with limited or uncertain competitiveness in these sectors, risks prevail that such transitions could imply stagnations and declines in biogas use and production, given today’s situation.
Idag används biogas till stor del som drivmedel för bussar inom kollektivtrafik i Sverige. Denna studie undersöker möjligheter och hinder för en fortsatt nationell användning och produktion av biogas, i samband med att bussar inom kollektivtrafiken nu elektrifieras. Analysen är baserad på intervjuer med aktörer inom kollektivtrafiken och biogassektorn, sakkunniga inom biogas, och alternativa användare av biogas. Tre regioner, Stockholm, Västra Götaland och Skåne, valdes som fallstudier för analys av möjligheter för fortsatt användning inom kollektivtrafiken. Alternativa användningar studerades istället ur ett nationellt perspektiv, och inkluderade vägtransporter, sjöfart, industri och el- och värmeproduktion. Studien visar att det råder enighet mellan intervjupersoner att förnybara resurser över lag ska användas där de medför störst samhällsnytta sett till samhället i stort. Inom kollektivtrafiken beskrivs elbussar därför som fördelaktiga i stadsmiljöer, medan biogas ses som lämpligt i regional trafik. Biogas framställs dessutom som miljömässigt fördelaktigt i alla alternativa användningsområden utom kontinuerlig el- och värmeproduktion, eftersom då främst förnybara och inte fossila resurser ersätts. Med hänsyn till kostnader och konkurrenskraft ses lätta och tunga transporter tillsammans med kundnära industrier, t.ex. livsmedelsindustrin, som troliga framtida användningsområden för biogas. Ekonomiskt stöd från styrmedel bedöms vara nödvändigt för en fortsatt utveckling av biogassektorn i Sverige, även om dagens styrmedel, t.ex. skattebefrielsen, beskrivs som kortsiktiga och oförutsägbara. Betalningsviljan för biogasens samlade samhällsnyttor minskar också vid en övergång från offentliga till privata kunder. Eftersom biogas därtill har en begränsad eller osäker konkurrenskraft jämtemot andra alternativ i de privata segmenten, identifierar denna studie risker för stagnation eller nedgång i användning och produktion av biogas vid en eventuell utfasning från den offentliga sektorn, givet dagens situation.

Abstract:
Для успешного развития экономики Украины необходимо рассмотреть вопрос расширения инвестиционных институтов, которые будут специализироваться на инвестировании и кредитовании. В данной связи целесообразно отметить также и необходимость создания новых банковских образований (ассоциаций, консорциумов, синдикатов и т.д.), деятельность которых будет направлена, главным образом, на долгосрочное кредитование. Для стимулирования создания вышеупомянутых институтов следует предоставить им налоговые льготы (например, не включать в базу налогообложения ту часть прибыли, которая идет на инвестиции; предоставлять налоговые кредиты и т.д.).
The successful development of Ukrainian economy should consider the expansion of investment institutions, which will specialize in investing and lending. In this connection it is worth noting also the need for a new banking entities (associations, consortiums, syndicates, etc.), whose activities will focus primarily on long-term lending. To encourage the establishment of the aforementioned institutions should give them tax breaks (such as not to include in the tax base the portion of income that goes to investment, providing tax credits, etc.).

Abstract:
This thesis explores the Turkish book publishing industry within the framework of historical development of book publishing since Ottoman practice onwards and current structure of the Turkish book market. The aim of the thesis is to understand recent trends, developments, and problems in the Turkish book market, within its specific historical conditions and in a comparative method to the current structure of book publishing industry in developed countries where book publishing is a global business and highly integrated to other sectors of cultural commodity production. The hypothesis is that although there have been profound changes in the Turkish book publishing sector on the way towards industrialization during recent decade, especially after 2000s
book publishing in Turkey remained an "
infant industry"
and Turkish book publishing market is still unsaturated as a result of serious problems continuing in different cycles of circulating capital in the Turkish book market and in preconditions of profit-maximization and capital accumulation processes
impediments on the creation of a large mass of readers and new genres
lack of an industrial organization of book production and business, and belated developments in regulative-legal framework in copyright regime.

Abstract:

The tri-partite initiative in and for Africa has been accompanied by high levels of optimism since its political endorsement in 2008. It provides for an opportunity to resolve a host of problems with regards to regional integration in Eastern and Southern Africa. The overall aim of this study is to explore the prospects and challenges towards realising the Tri-partite Free Trade Area 
(T-FTA) in and for Africa. This study is pragmatic and implicitly seeks to uncover how the T-FTA could contribute to the African Regional Integration Project (ARIP), given the challenges that 
regional integration face in Africa. Regional integration has a long and rich history in Africa, which started at thehave been weak since the start and persist in its superficial nature with littledevelopmental impact. The reasons for the lack of meaningful integration in Africa are wide-ranging and span national, regional and system level analytical viewpoints. They encompass 
areas such as developmental levels, political will, respect for regional architecture, overlapping membership and the Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs). These factors impact on the 
integration process in Africa and explain in varied ways why there has been little comprehensive economic integration. The starting point was to define the complex concept of regional integration. The dominant factors that define and affect regional integration in this study are that it is a state-based exercise, driven by economic integration, and influenced by the global political economy of the day. It was determined that Africa has adapted its regional integration strategies according to the shifts and influences in the global political economy on states, 
emanating from the post WWII period to the present day. The mpact of the global economy on Africa since independence was great and is viewed impact on the integration process. Regional integration is essentially a state to state 
pursuit for integration. Essentially, regional integration is being pursued by states that are still struggling to consolidate statehood, and this leaves little space to move towards a regional approach. However, given the dynamics of a globalised world, regional integration as a strategy is no longer questioned in Africa and is an important component of its developmental agenda. Clarifying the T-FTA was important, and this was done in order to highlight what the tri-partite initiative is and is not. This provided for an opportunity to 
investigate what the dominant areas are that have informed the emergence of the tri-partite process. The former was found to be largely economic in nature, focusing on harmonising the trade 
regimes of COMESA, EAC and SADC as a primary motivation. The tri-partite initiative will facilitate and encourage the harmonisation of trade regimes by stressing market integration, 
infrastructure development and industrialisation, coupled by a developmental approach. This is promising, as the tri-partite initiative seeks to simultaneously deal with many issues that have 
been commonly associated with the problems that regional integration face in Africa. When viewing the negotiating context, as well as the principles upon which it is to be based, indicate though, that Africa still favours individual state interest that will be hard to reconcile given that the tri-partite region currently has 26 participant states. In terms of economic integration, the T-FTA 
seeks to put new generation trade issues on the agenda by including services, movement of persons as well as trade facilitation, all of which have been found to be important in realising a 
trade in goods agenda that is the focus of regional integration in Africa. Analysing the grassroots realities of the market integration pillar offered some valuable insights towards the purposes 
of this study. The market integration pillar is inundated with challenges, with Rules of Origin (RoO) being the primary challenge towards consolidating the trade in goods agenda on a tri-partite 
level. New generation trade issues are going to be equally difficult to realise, given that they have no implementation record in the individual Regional Economic Communities (RECs). Promising though is that trade facilitation has already seen positive results by resolving non tariff barriers in the regions.Infrastructure development is equally challenging, although it provides 
a significant opportunity to create better connectivity (physical integration) between states. In lot of pan-African goals that directly feed into initiatives of the African Union (AU) pillar has not as yet created any concrete tri-partite plans, so it remains to be seen what can be achieved. Ideally, industrialisation is viewed as the pillar that will solve the supply-side constraints of African 
economies hence, strengthening the trade in goods agenda in the regions. Even though the T-FTA has practical challenges to implementation, there are at least two underlying factors that 
indirectly affect the prospects of realising the tripartite initiative. The EPAs are an emergent threat in that they run parallel to tripartite negotiations
and respect for a rules based integration process, are issues that warrant consideration. Fundamentally, in order to achieve a successful T-FTA will require a shift in the way business is done in African integration. African states need 
to realise that their national interests are best served through cooperation, in meaningful ways. Inevitably this requires good faith as well as ceding some sovereignty towards regional goals. Thus, there is a risk that the T-FTA not realised. The fundamentals of political will, economic polarisation and instability have to be resolved. This will lay an appropriate foundation for the 
tripartite initiative to be sustainable, with developmental impact.

Such as the limitations and deficit of energy resources, as also the monopoly of the world market for the energy resources is a global problem. It should be noted that the energy monopolists (USA, Russian Federation) argue that the next 50 years, the traditional energy resources (oil and gas) will account for the largest share of the world energy consumption. According to optimistic forecasts of leading scientists, by 2020 the share of the alternative energy should increase to 12.9 % in the world energy balance.

This dissertation provides the analysis necessary to launch the first direct climate markets. Combining statistical modeling with qualitative interviews, I build off of an innovative insurance project to show why and how to start traded markets on indexes of El Niño/La Niña. I provide statistical models of El Niño/La Niña's worldwide economic impacts; a stochastic catalog used to price virtually any risk management contract on El Niño/La Niña, even as new forecasts change traders' expectations; a comprehensive statistical description of the lifecycle of new derivatives showing how the prospects for new derivatives changed fundamentally in the last decade (this work is co-authored by Michael Penick, Senior Economist at the US government's derivatives regulator, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission); and, interviews with risk management professionals at businesses facing El Niño/La Niña risk and financial firms interested in trading that risk. Based on this analysis, I conclude that catastrophe bonds settling on NOAA's Niño 3.4 sea surface temperatures can, and likely will, launch in the near future.

The aim of this dissertation is to analyse loss aversion of the Business Administration and Financial Management students, using the reproduction of the work developed by Kahneman and Tversky (1979). For that purpose, it was made a field research with these students in a private college in São Paulo city with the application of the original survey template suggested by researchers Kahneman e Tversky (1979), and through the obtained results, Prospect Theory was validated, and it was verified that a group of students have less loss aversion. In this study was made a bibliographic review about the main changes in financial area since 1920 until nowadays highlighting the theory about modern financials, Efficient Market Hypothesis, Behavior Financials, Heuristics and Prospect Theory. The results reveal the existence of certainty, reflex and isolation effects. It was possible to confirm the existence of a different behavior of the Administration students. Among the main conclusions, Administration students are reacting differently of Financial Management students. Academic qualification is proving as a differentiation factor between the two groups. Administration students have a smaller financial base of studies than Financial Magement students and a larger base of studies on other areas. This larger knowledge on financial area didn t bring any differential for Financial Management students, this can be explained by the low age of this population, that have just left high school and has little experience and little understanding of financial market.
O objetivo desta dissertação é analisar aversão à perda dos estudantes do curso de administração de empresas e do curso de tecnologia em gestão financeira, usando a reprodução do trabalho desenvolvido por Kahneman e Tversky (1979). Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa em campo com estudantes em uma faculdade particular, localizada da cidade de São Paulo, onde pode ser aplicado o questionário no modelo original proposto pelos pesquisadores Kahneman e Tversky (1979) e através dos resultados obtidos, foi recriada a teoria dos prospectos e constatou que um grupo de estudantes tem uma aversão à perda menor. Neste trabalho, foi feita uma revisão bibliográfica sobre as principais mudanças na área financeira desde 1920 até atualidade, destacando a Teoria sobre Finanças Modernas, a Hipótese de Mercados Eficientes, Finanças Comportamentais, Heurísticas e Teoria do Prospecto. Os resultados apontam para a existência dos efeitos certeza, reflexo e isolamento. Foi possível confirmar a existência de um comportamento diferente para o grupo de estudantes de administração. Dentre as principais conclusões, os estudantes de administração, estão reagindo de forma diferente que os estudantes de gestão financeira. A formação dos respondentes mostrou-se um fator de diferenciação entre os dois grupos. Os alunos de administração tem uma base de estudos sobre finanças menor comparada com os estudantes de gestão financeira e uma base de estudos maior em outras áreas. Esse conhecimento mais abrangente na área financeira, não trouxe nenhum diferencial para os estudantes de gestão financeira, isso pode se dar por essa amostra ser basicamente de pessoas muito jovem que acabaram de sair do ensino médio e com pouca experiência e entendimento do mercado financeiro.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract The behavior of investors is often at odds with the assumptions of traditional finance theory. Research conducted over the past half-century or so abounds with examples in which the central axioms of traditional theory are systematically violated. One of the most well-established behavioral patterns in this context is the disproportionate tendency of investors to sell stocks that have appreciated in value since purchase (‘winners’) rather than stocks that have declined in value (‘losers’); this phenomenon is known as the disposition effect and most commonly attributed to Kahneman and Tversky’s (1979) prospect theory. The overall aim of this doctoral thesis is to investigate the robustness of this phenomenon, its underlying mechanisms, and its potential implications for individual investors. The four independent but related essays of this thesis were designed to answer the following research questions: (1) Does the disposition effect ‘survive’ bear markets, in which investors may not be able to realize gains even if they wish to do so? (2) Is there any supporting evidence for prospect theory-based explanation of the disposition effect in the form of other observed behavior consistent with the theory? (3) Is prospect theory the most feasible explanation for the disposition effect? (4) What are the implications of the disposition effect from the point of view of individual investors? Using comprehensive data covering virtually all trades executed in the Finnish stock market during 1995–2003, this thesis demonstrates the following: (1) As robust as the disposition effect appears to be in light of previous studies, the phenomenon is only partially detected in bear markets. (2) The relationship between prospect theoretic preferences and investor behavior is not easily generalizable to other behavioral patterns besides the disposition effect. (3) In fact, even the relationship between prospect theory and the disposition effect is not as strong as is generally believed. Our results instead suggest an explanation based on escalation of commitment, according to which the disposition effect is caused above all by self-justificatory concerns. (4) Finally, although the disposition effect is generally inconsistent with economic rationality, it does not appear to be detrimental to investment performance.

Patel, Sheetal Anil. "Internationalisation process & upgrading prospects of Indian garment manufacturers." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/8218.

Full text
Abstract:
In the context of globalisation and liberalising economies, an increasing number of local firms based in developing countries and emerging markets are encouraged to internationalise their business activities and thus participate in foreign trade. Their sustained success is founded on two key factors; their ability to access potential foreign markets, and their ability to upgrade their capabilities and thus improve their positioning in global markets. This thesis investigates the internationalisation process and upgrading prospects of Indian Garment Manufacturers (IGMs). It begins by examining how IGMs gain access to foreign markets and discusses the factors that help or hinder their progress. The thesis subsequently explores the ways in which IGMs upgrade their activities to higher value-added activities and investigates the contributory factors that drive and shape their upgrading prospects. Existing studies employ the concept of ‘Diaspora networks’ or ethnic ties to explain how local firms from emerging markets are able to internationalise their business activities. These studies highlight the integral role played by Diaspora networks in enabling this internationalisation. Diaspora networks help connect local firms with foreign, world class buyers (or ‘lead firms’) using the Diaspora’s own pre-established ties and links with such lead firms. Similarly, Global Value Chain (GVC) proponents assume the upgrading prospects of these local firms can be enhanced as a result of linking up with ‘lead firms’ because of the benefits that can be derived from knowledge and technology transfer imparted through working with world class buyers. The extant literature however is vague on the internationalisation processes of IGMs. Furthermore, it does not adequately address the extent to which IGMs utilise Indian Diaspora networks to access foreign markets and to internationalise their business activities. It is also unclear what mechanisms are employed to impart knowledge from lead buyers to suppliers and to what extent the knowledge and technology transferred plays a key role in progressing IGMs upgrading activities; especially in the higher value added functions of design. This thesis contributes by addressing and shedding further light on these unresolved issues. It examines the issues using a combined approach, where theories and concepts from international business (IB) and GVC are employed in analysing the subject matter and thus allows for a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of the issues under investigation. To explore the above themes a case study based approach was employed. Interviews were conducted with key decision makers/owners of 23 case companies. Further interviews with key industry, academic and government heads were conducted as a means of triangulation. Interviews were, in turn, supplemented with documentary evidence and published material from company websites, industry and academic journals, and newspaper articles, so as to arrive at a more comprehensive understanding of the issues in question. Findings from this study suggest that IGMs rarely use Diaspora networks to access foreign markets. Instead, the majority of IGMs have achieved internationalisation as a result of well-developed networks of formal intermediaries based in India who have facilitated connections with prospective buyers. Furthermore, their manner of internationalisation reveals IGMs tend to access foreign markets initially at a very young age and at a rapid pace. Thus process-based theories of internationalisation seem inappropriate in explaining this rapid pace of internationalisation; insights from the literature on Born Globals and International New Ventures (INVs) seem, at first, to offer better explanations. However, employing concepts such as the ‘mature’ born global and the ‘failed’ born global leads one to re-examine and reconsider these initial findings. Re-examined findings indicate that in fact maturing IGMs are realigning their internationalisation trajectories to be better positioned to take advantage of favourable domestic market conditions. These findings are better explained using a more inclusive definition of internationalisation; particularly, concepts of de-internationalisation and extra-regional expansion from the field of IB. Additional findings, related to the issue of upgrading, indicate that contextual factors, usually related to the domestic economy and the firm’s internal circumstances, play a significant role in affecting the upgrading prospects of IGMs. These findings are contrary to GVC-based explanations of what drives and shapes IGMs’ upgrading activities, which place excessive emphasis on the role of the ‘lead firm’. In particular, GVC-based assumptions regarding the knowledge and technology transfer benefits available to local manufacturers by linking with larger world class buyers or lead firms seem of limited applicability to IGMs; here, firm-specific factors seem more important in determining firm choices concerning upgrading trajectories.

Abstract:
We live in an era where internationalization and globalization are two extremely attractive concepts. People aim to create a society where limits and restrictions are erased and a thriving society is a reality. Numerous transformations have occurred in order to realize this and one of the most vital ones is the globalization of the economy. The globalization was made possible through the discovery on the capital market. This market enables people to trade with each other, no matter place or time. Thus, a more efficient solution is offered for rapid and significant transfers such as loans and investment. According to various researchers, the capital market determines, in a way, which company will grow and which will stagnate in development. However, the capital market needs to be efficient in order to offer the services intended. The aim of this dissertation is to explain how efficient the capital market is when incorporating information regarding football player transfers. By examining the empirical findings, it will also be able to establish if assets of the same market value cause different share price fluctuations depending on if they are acquired or sold.

Os 799 discentes presenciais cursando entre o 5º a 8º semestre que utilizam os jogos de empresas, inclusos nas 225 empresas ativas distribuídas entre os cursos de Administração geral; Comércio exterior; Administração financeira; Ciências contábeis e Ciências econômicas no campus Rudge Ramos da Universidade Metodista de São Paulo, foram submetidos a 6 cenários virtuais, com diferentes graus de complexidade, onde suas decisões foram investigadas sob a ótica dos aspectos heurísticos, contidos em finanças comportamentais, validando a hipótese de que suas decisões não são tomadas utilizando a teoria de mercado eficiente contida nas finanças tradicionais, modelo este que pressupõe que seus agentes são racionais e maximizadores de benefícios esperados, mas as tomam através das heurísticas comportamentais de efeito certeza, reflexão e isolamento, existentes no questionário da Teoria do Prospecto, Nobel de economia em 2002 por introduzir os insights da pesquisa psicológica na ciência econômica, especialmente no que diz respeito as avaliações e tomada de decisão sob incerteza, sugerindo uma mudança na função linear da predileção de perdas à ganhos, constantes em finanças tradicionais, para uma concavidade da função utilidade para ganhos e convexas para perdas, utilizadas em heurísticas comportamentais de Kahneman e Tversky (1979). Foi também efetuada uma análise de processos das 56 empresas virtuais contidas no 1º quartil, escalonadas em ordem decrescente, gerando duas proxys de confirmação dos resultados tabulados. Foi constatado uma superestimação de resultados possíveis ao invés de resultados prováveis, demonstrando fantasias das habilidades dos jogadores, equiparáveis com os resultados de Weinstein (1980), em até 71% acreditando serem melhores do que realmente são. Além de análise Qui-Quadrática que confirmaram que os resultados da teoria do prospecto são equiprováveis e equilibrados com o trabalho original, além do Teste-t entre amostras de variâncias equivalentes que geraram significância estatística, reforçando o modelo. Também foi efetuado uma análise das decisões por gênero nas respostas, para comprovar a irrelevância proposta por Hanna, Gutter e Fan (2001) quanto a predileção e aceitação ao risco.

Abstract:
As has been learned from the 2007-2008 Euro-area crisis the effect on certain economies considered to be quite strong and has been significant following the spill over between financial markets across those economies, which until the crisis, were seen to have a highly successful currency union. Much has been learned of the inter-relations between economies and their financial markets in response to the 2008 banking crisis. There was a failure of regulation, but this was at an international and a government level. No single country was able to counter the problem. This is why it is important to investigate the linkages between markets in the Gulf and the extent to which they work effectively to decide whether a currency union is appropriate for these economies. This leads to the building blocks of a successful union and relates to the efficient running of product and financial markets. The current thesis investigated whether the Gulf States are ready for a currency union and what needs to be done before this can occur. In particular, the primary proposition in international finance is that arbitrage can eliminate inefficiency in pricing across borders. This is investigated in terms of the United States (US) dollar ($) and the responsiveness of prices across the Gulf, the extent to which there may already be a common market for goods. This was investigated by looking at whether a common factor is driving pricing. The next section dealt with the efficiency of the money markets in relation to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to determine whether interest rate pass through is effective and yields reflect an efficient market for debt. Finally, the financial markets were considered; first to determine whether any of the exchanges behave in an anomalous way, and then the extent to which these markets are integrated.

Abstract:
The internationalization of SMEs has been recognized as one of the important paths to growth in SMEs. However, internationalization is also a resource and competence-demanding process. This is especially true for smaller-sized SMEs – the small and micro-sized firms – which have a large resource constraint, making internationalization even more challenging. Although this group of small firms counts for an average of over 98% of the total population of enterprises in EU countries, extant research on the internationalization of this group is still limited. Therefore, the main purpose of this dissertation is to contribute to a better understanding of evolving patterns of internationalization in the smaller-sized SMEs. The study uses emerging market entry along the internationalization of small firms as a context to probe the dynamics of perceived risk (uncertainty) and perceived opportunity in different foreign markets which influence the important decisions of small firms during their internationalization. The main study takes a longitudinal approach and uses mixed methods to investigate the features in both the initial period and the continued period of internationalization. It mainly builds on a multiple-case study of 12 Swedish firms, which have/had emerging market entry experience and/or involvement. This study illustrates influences from the environmental, organizational and individual levels on evolving patterns of internationalization in the investigated firms. This dissertation concludes that critical decisions and actions taken in the internationalization process depend on interactions among the influence and resources from the three levels. Such interactions form a conditional preference on perceived risk (uncertainty) and perceived opportunity during the internationalization of small firms. The study further proposes that the dynamics in the internationalization process are caused by a prospect-guided change mechanism. This dissertation contributes to the literature by: differentiating patterns of internationalization; enriching the study of “born global” in the continued period of internationalization; introducing a new perspective on the interpretation of dynamics in the internationalization; and increasing the understanding on the interactions of resources from three levels on the internationalization of small firms.

Abstract:
Prediction markets provide a promising approach for future event prediction. Most existing prediction market approaches are based on auction mechanisms. Despite their theoretical appeal and success in various application settings, these mechanisms suffer from several major drawbacks. First, opinions from experts and amateurs are treated equally. Second, continuous attention from participants is assumed. Third, such mechanisms are subject to various forms of market manipulation. To alleviate these limitations, we propose to employ the classic fixed odds betting as an alternative prediction market mechanism. We build a structural model based on a belief-decision framework as the event probability estimator. This belief-decision framework models bettors' beliefs with mixed beta distributions and bettors' decisions with prospect theory. A maximum likelihood approach is applied to estimate the model parameters. We conducted experiments on three real-world betting datasets to evaluate our proposed approach. Experimental results show that fixed odds betting based prediction outperforms the reduced form models based on odds and betting results, and achieves a comparable performance with auction-based prediction markets. The results suggest the possibility of employing fixed odds betting as a prediction market in a variety of application contexts where the assumptions made by auction-based approaches do not hold.
