Full texts infrastructure development has been motivating countries towards privatization of these sectors. However, due to the differences in these sectors as compared to other businesses, privatization can not be performed without strict regulations. Today, concession agreements like BOT models seem the best way for solving the problems. Financing of concession agreements plays a key role. In Turkey, most BOT projects are financed by capital structure that has a maximum debt ratio, which is allowed by the law. The objective of this study is to examine whether the maximum amount of debt ratio is the optimum amount of debt ratio. Optimization is carried out by analyzing the trade off between benefits of tax shield and the loss due to financial failure as a result of change in leverage, assuming other things are the same. A theoretical framework is developed for the analysis by selecting Adjusted Present Value Method as a financial tool. Energy generation sector in Turkey is analyzed, stock market data in Turkey is used for the analysis, and a bankruptcy prediction model is proposed for BOT projects in Turkey. Finally, by using the theoretical framework, an actual BOT model hydro electric power plant proposal is analyzed for optimization of capital structure.

As empresas normalmente se alavancam através de emissão de dívida e fazem isso para gerenciar suas necessidades financeiras e/ou operacionais. A teoria de trade off defende que administradores busquem um nível estático e pré-determinado de endividamento para maximizar o valor da empresa. Portanto, é esperado que saltos na alavancagem não sejam frequentes e eventuais desvios em relação ao nível ótimo sejam rapidamente corrigidos. Este trabalho analisou a estrutura de capital das empresas listadas na B3, de 2010 a 2016, a fim de verificar se a teoria de trade off pode explicar o comportamento observado durante esse período. Foi constatado que, embora não retornem prontamente ao nível anterior de alavancagem, as empresas permaneceram em níveis compatíveis com o ótimo, o que é consistente com a teoria de trade off e sinaliza que flexibilidade financeira é também uma preocupação.
Firms normally leverage their capital structure through debt issuance, in order to manage their financial and operational needs. Trade off theory suggests that managers must aim at a pre-determined and static leverage target to maximize the firm’s value. Therefore, one should not expect to observe frequent jumps in leverage, and any difference between optimal and observed leverage would be promptly corrected. This paper studied the capital structure of companies listed at B3, from 2010 to 2016, aiming to investigate if trade off theory can be used to explain their behavior during this period. It was observed that, although companies do not return to previous leverage levels quickly, they tend to stay around optimal levels, which is consistent with trade off theory and suggests that financial flexibility is also a concern.

O foco deste estudo são as empresas criadas e ativas em Portugal desde 2011 nos setores de atividade elegíveis para a lei do capital mínimo. Neste estudo foram exploradas as razões que levam as start-ups a estabelecer o capital inicial. Não foi encontrada significância estatística do impacto do conhecimento da reforma do capital mínimo no montante de capital inicial. Pode também ser evidenciado que a reforma influencia o montante de dívida das start-ups e a possível realização de aumentos de capital.
The present study analyzes how the knowledge of the minimum capital policy affects start-ups' initial capital structure, exploiting how start-ups established initial capital and how their capital structure changed in the first years. The target of this study are firms founded since 2011 and currently active in Portugal in sectors of activity eligible for the minimum capital policy. It was exploited the main reasons how start-ups establish initial capital. In addition, it was found no statistically significant impact of the knowledge of the minimum capital reform on start-ups initial capital and that the reform influences start-ups' amount of debt and capital increases.

It highlights a significant role for investors' stereotypes that ultimately impedes minority-founded startups' growth. Entrepreneurs’ human capital mitigates to some extends investors’ stereotypes. The second chapter identifies conditions under which firms choose to grow by buying an incumbent company as opposed to building on their pre-existing human capital resources. The third chapter focuses on large business groups. It provides evidence that investors are not always aware of the boundaries of the firm and miss predictive information released at another level of the group

The literature of sociobiology and culture recognize that, statistically, females often make different choices than males across a wide range of issues. Scholars of business, economics, and finance find that females react differently than males to diverse financial and business situations. Moreover, extant research indicates that females on boards of directors exert a positive impact on monitoring, value, and performance. This dissertation extends the gender literature by empirically testing the hypothesis that female board representation limits the use of debt in firms’ capital structures because of females’ greater risk aversion, lower overconfidence, and less competitive nature compared with males. The empirical results indicate that influential female representation, such as a female chair of the board, has a causal negative and significant impact on the leverage of the company.

A survey-based approach was employed to determine the most important factors contributing to the successful financing of mixed-use development. Individual real estate developers were contacted to discuss their specific projects along with construction and permanent lenders. These projects contained three or more uses and were located in major metropolitan infill locations across the US. Specific questions were asked about the entire capital structure including equity, construction and permanent debt. 'The thesis contains a background on mixed-use development and its growing importance in the marketplace, discussion of equity and lending fundamentals within commercial real estate, a presentation of the data and finally an analysis of the findings. From the data, three main factors were derived that affect the ability of mixed-use developments to successfully receive financing. These include the size of the developer in relation to the project, the amount of pre-leasing and pre-sales completed and the ability to compartmentalize the project by use. These conclusions are important for any developer attempting to complete a mixed-use development of any size or complexity. To successfully build the project and appease any lender concerns, the developer must address each issue.

Full textFamily has known great transformations in the last decades in a large number of OECD countries. On one hand, fertility rates have decreased. On the other hand, the number of separations has increased sharply. This thesis asks whether these major changes of family structure affect child’s human capital, being a new source of inequalities. Using very large datasets and micro-econometric methods, the three chapters present original empirical evidence on whether parental separation and family size impact individual’s human capital. The first chapter studies the effect of parental separation in France on individual’s achievement, and find a negative effect of parental separation on individual’s educational attainment and social position. Using an American dataset, the second chapter asks whether this effect is driven by changes in time spent with parents, and find that 30% of the effect of parental separation on socio-emotional skills is explained by the decrease in time spent with at least one parent present. The third chapter accounts for another aspect of family structure: the number of children. Using a British dataset, we find that having a second sibling in the United Kingdom decreases the child’s socio-emotional skills, especially for girls

Full textO objetivo deste trabalho é analisar os determinantes mais relevantes da estrutura de capital inicial de novas empresas, através do desenvolvimento de um estudo empírico. A estrutura de capital tem sido a ser um dos temas mais controversos na literatura financeira. Embora haja uma grande quantidade de estudos empíricos e teóricos sobre este tema, não há ainda acordo na escolha da estrutura ótima de capital. Grande parte dos estudos concentra-se em empresas estabelecidas, negligenciando o tema das novas empresas. Recentemente, final dos anos 90, estudos sobre a estrutura de capital começaram a abordar o tema start-ups e pequenas empresas. Neste sentido, combinando dados financeiros de empresas e dados do fundador, que contêm informações detalhadas sobre as start-ups Portuguesas ao longo do período 2004 a 2009, a influência de fatores como o tamanho, a estrutura de ativos, o crescimento e as características dos fundadores na estrutura de capital inicial de start-ups foram analisadas. Os resultados confirman a hipótese de que o tamanho e a estrutura de ativos têm um impacto positivo sobre a estrutura de capital das start-ups, enquanto que o crescimento tem uma relação negativa. Esses resultados são consistentes com a teoria do pecking order que refere os problemas de assimetria de informação e a teoria do trade-off que refere os problemas de agência. O nível de significância e o impacto das características dos fundadores, nomeadamente a experiência no setor, regional e empresarial, educação, idade e género na estrutura de capital inicial das start-ups varia muito, não fornecendo resultados consistentes.
The objective of this paper is to analyze the most relevant determinants of new ventures initial capital structure, by developing an empirical study. Capital Structure has been one of the most controversial issues in financial literature during the past years. Although exists an enormous amount of empirical and theoretical studies on this topic, there is no agreement in choosing the optimal capital structure. Much of the existing research focuses on established firms, neglecting the field of entrepreneurial finance. Only recently, in the late 90s, the studies on capital structure were extended to start-ups and small firms. Concerning this, by combining Portuguese firm-level financial data with the matched employer-employee database, that contains unique and detailed information about the start-ups during the period 2004 to 2009, the influence of factors such as size, asset structure, growth orientation and owners' characteristics on start-ups initial capital structure were examined. The results support the hypotheses that size and asset structure have a positive impact on start-ups initial capital structure, while growth have a negative relation. These results are also consistent with the pecking order theory that incorporates information asymmetries issues and the trade-off theory with the agency problems. The level of significance and impact of owners' characteristics such as industry experience, regional experience, entrepreneurial experience, education, age and gender on start-ups initial capital structure varies widely, not providing consistent results.

Full textEmpresas gazelas têm sido alvo de muitos estudos dado o seu importante contributo para a economia. Elas são, segundo a OCDE, empresas com menos de cinco anos que, tendo um número mínimo de trabalhadores, atingem um crescimento anualizado de 20% ao ano durante três anos consecutivos. O objetivo deste trabalho é perceber se existem diferenças que distingam a estrutura de capital de empresas gazelas de empresas não gazelas. Mais especificamente, nós avaliamos se as gazelas apresentam maiores necessidades de capital e se as fontes de capital divergem entre os dois tipos de empresa. A fim de cumprimos o objetivo deste trabalho, utilizámos a base de dados "Central de Balanços" que é composta por dados de todas as empresas portuguesas criadas entre 2006 até 2015. Assim, identificámos cerca de 94 066 empresas não financeiras nascidas entre 2006 e 2011 das quais apenas 307 são gazelas. Os nossos resultados sugerem que as empresas gazelas obtêm valores mais elevados de capital total inicial, sugerindo que estas empresas têm maiores necessidades de financiamento do que as não-gazelas. A fim de financiarem as suas atividades, as gazelas tendem a usar mais capitais próprios do que dívida, uma vez que apresentam valores do rácio debt-to-capital inferiores às empresas não gazelas, mesmo considerando que a crise financeira e soberana influenciou a subida deste rácio para empresas nascidas entre 2008 e 2011.
Gazelle firms have been the center of many studies given their important contribution for the economy. According to OECD, they are firms with less than 5 years that, have a minimum number of employees, achieve an annualized growth of 20% a year for three consecutive years. The goal of this study is to understand the differences in the capital structure between gazelle and non-gazelle firms. More specifically, we evaluate if gazelle present higher financial needs and if the sources of financing differ from non-gazelle firms. In order to achieve this goal, we used the "Central de Balanços" database that includes data from all Portuguese firms from 2006 to 2015. Thus, we identify 94 066 non-financial firms born between 2006 and 2011, from those only 307 are gazelles firms. Our results suggest that gazelle firms raise higher amounts of initial capital, suggesting that these firms have higher financial needs than non-gazelle firms. To finance their activities, gazelle firms tend to use more internal funds, since they present lower debt-to-capital ratios, even considering that the financial and sovereign crisis tend to increase the D/C ratio for companies born between 2008 and 2011.

We study the flow generated when a handheld fan is waved. This fluid-structure interaction problem is investigated through precision experiments, using an oscillating semi-circular elastic plate as a reduced analog model. The aerodynamic performance of the fans is systematically characterized for a variety of geometric and material parameters, as well as the amplitude of the periodic driving. We demonstrate that the bending stiffness of the structure can be tuned to maximize the output of the generated airflow, while simultaneously minimizing the input power. A design guideline is established for this optimal conditions based on matching the driving and the natural frequencies of the plate. Closer to the handheld fans, we then consider a discrete analog model comprising an array of overlapping strips. Unlike homogeneous plates, these discrete designs deform passively into shapes with finite Gaussian curvature and further enhance the generated flow. Finally, we explored the effect of corrugation on the flapping plate and found that the fan employs the interesting mechanism of reversible buckling to simultaneously increase the velocity of the flow and reduce the load.

Spacecraft, or artificial satellites, do not fly from earth to space on their own. They are launched into their orbits by placing them inside launch vehicles, also known as carrier rockets. Some parts or components of spacecraft are large and cannot fit in their designated space inside launch vehicles without being stowed into smaller volumes first. Examples of large components on spacecraft include solar arrays, which provide power to the spacecraft, and antennas, which are used on satellite for communication purposes. Many methods have been developed to stow such large components. Many of these methods involve folding about joints or hinges, whether it is done in a simple manner or by more complex designs. Moreover, components that are flexible enough could be rolled or wrapped before they are placed in launch vehicles. This method reduces the mass which the launch vehicle needs to carry, since added mass of joints is eliminated. Low mass is always desirable in space applications. Furthermore, wrapping is very effective at minimizing the volume of a component. These structures store energy inside them as they are wrapped due to the stiffness of their materials. This behavior is identical to that observed in a deformed spring. When the structures are released in space, that energy is released, and thus, they deploy and try to return to their original form. This is due to inertia, where the stored strain energy turns into kinetic energy as the structure deploys. The physical analysis of these structures, which enables their design, is complex and requires computational solutions and numerical modeling. The best design for a given problem can be found through numerical optimization. Numerical optimization uses mathematical approximations and computer programming to give the values of design parameters that would result in the best design based on specified criterion and goals. In this thesis, numerical optimization was conducted for a simple unfurlable structure. The structure consists of a thin rectangular panel that wraps tightly around a central cylinder. The cylinder and panel are connected with a hinge that is a rotational spring with some stiffness. The optimization was solved to obtain the best values for the stiffness of the hinge, the thickness of the panel, which is allowed to vary along its length, and the stiffness or elasticity of the panel's material. The goals or objective of the optimization was to ensure that the deployed panel meets stiffness requirement specified for similar space components. Those requirements are set to make certain that the spacecraft can be controlled from earth even with its large component deployed. Additionally, the second goal of the optimization was to guarantee that the unfurling panel does not have very high energy stored while it's wrapped, so that it would not cause large motion the connected spacecraft in the zero gravity environments of space. A computer simulation was run with the resulting hinge stiffness and panel elasticity and thickness values with the cylinder and four panels connected to a structure representing a spacecraft. The simulation results and deployment animation were assessed to confirm that desired results were achieved.

The main purpose of this article is to promote the concept of geometric mean. We aim to find an optimal financial leverage to maximize the firm’s value in the aspect of geometric mean. We design our model based on the optimal f geometric mean optimization model proposed by Vince(1990). Meanwhile, we also consider the factor of risk of ruin to explore the optimization of capital structure together with the probability of default. We use the IT industry in Taiwan as our empirical sample. Our analysis first calculates the optimal financial leverage from our new model. We then use the concept of risk of ruin to evaluate the risk of default. Finally, we check whether there exist high correlation between risk of default and the generally accepted TCRI(Taiwan Corporate Credit Rating Index) rating.
