Master of Agribusiness<br>Department of Agricultural Economics<br>Allen M. Featherstone<br>Institutions of the Farm Credit System (FCS) focus on risk-based lending in accordance with regulatory direction. The rating of risk also assists retail staff in loan approval, risk-based pricing, and allowance decisions. FCS institutions have developed models to analyze financial and related customer information in determining qualitative and quantitative risk measures. The objective of this thesis is to examine empirical account data from 2006-2012 to review the probability of default (PD) rating me

Abstract:

Sequential methods aim to update beliefs about a set of parameters given new blocks of data that arise in sequence. Early research in this area was motivated by the case where the blocks of data arise in time and as a result of observing an underlying dynamical system, but an important modern application is in the analysis of large datasets. This thesis considers both the design and application of sequential methods. A new adaptive sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methodology is presented. By incorporating adaptive Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) moves into the SMC update, it is possible to utilis

Abstract:

With the continuing growth in energy consumption worldwide, the move towards a European wide super grid will result in significant changes in how modern transmission and distribution networks are operated. Fundamental to this is the need to accurately know or determine the available ampacity of high voltage cable circuits, because huge bulk power volumes need to be transmitted between maritime nations through dc power cables. Therefore, an accurate cable rating becomes paramount towards an efficient and safe operation of transmission networks, while the finance for large scale network construc

This thesis proposed to improve an existing performance measurement methodology called the "General Measurement Methodology (GMM)." The GMM as well as its variations have been used in organizations to design a measurement effort to support performance improvement. It has evolved over a number of years and is currently being researched at the International Productivity Center (IPC). In order to attain its objective, this research adopted a case study approach supported by data from the literature as well as an expert panel.

Transportation infrastructure facilities are the essential components for the continuous development of the economic and community well-being of any country. Maintaining such facilities is a difficult task for service authorities and to keep their assets in optimal conditions at all times. To assist with conducting such a task, infrastructure management systems (IMSs) have been developed for effective asset management. The main function of these systems is to minimise total operation costs for service authorities while maximising the benefits for public users. To obtain the right decisions fro

Abstract:

When large banks have a shortage of liquidity, they solve the problem by either placing papers in the market, going to other banks, borrowing from other financial institutions or making use of its reserves. When entering the market, credit ratings facilitate the loan process by providing an indication of the lending banks' risk. However, when South African co-operative banks enter the market for finances, no rating can be applied as the method for rating these banks does not exist. This, in turn, leads to a slow-down in the loans process and co-operative banks being charged higher interest rat

This thesis explores the nature of linguistic introspection through the phenomenon known in the literature as the Syntactic Satiation Effect, where the perceived unacceptability of some syntactic structures is attenuated on repeated exposure. Recent findings suggest that rating change in experimental settings may not reveal the underlying grammatical status of syntactic objects by mitigating performance factors related to memory limitations, as initially proposed, but rather arise as a response bias conditioned by characteristics of some experimental designs, in effect introducing task-based p

Zhang and Boos (1992) provide a pooled bootstrap approach when the data cannot be assumed to be normally distributed. We give three alternative bootstrap techniques to testing homogeneity of covariance matrices when it is both inappropriate to pool the data

Abstract:

This paper analyzes and assesses the DBRS sovereign credit rating methodology and its rating decisions on Portugal. A replicated rating model on Portugal allows to assess the DBRS rating methodology and to identify country-specific risk factors. An OLS regression compares rating effects of ten fundamental variables among S&P, Moody’s, Fitch Ratings and DBRS. Further, a rating scale model fractionally disentangles DBRS rating grades into their subjective and objective rating components. Both qualitative and empirical findings attest DBRS a comparably lenient rating behavior on Portugal –in comp

As regards boxed-meal industry, supplier's selection is particularly important because the food material take large cost for a lunch box. This paper proposed an effective method FMSRP (Fuzzy Multi-objectives Supplier Rating Procedure) to help boxed-meal industry for rating the food material suppliers. FMSRP firstly establishes performance indices for the food material supplier with fuzzy multi-objectives measurement in the boxed-meal industry. Secondly, fuzzy parameter set, including membership functi

Abstract:

<div>The design of bridges prior to 1994 was carried out by either the Load Factor Design (LFD) or the Allowable Stress Design (ASD) methodologies. Load rating of these bridges was primarily conducted by Load Factor Rating (LFR). In 1994, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) developed and encouraged the use of a probabilistic-based method titled Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) for carrying out bridge design. A new methodology consistent with LRFD was also developed and adopted for conducting load rating. Thus, a new Load and Resistance Factor

Abstract:

This write-up is submitted in partial fulfillment of the Master of Management Degree in Finance and Investment<br>Through the use of an EGARCH model and a fixed effects panel regression, the reaction of emerging market stock and bond volatility to sovereign credit ratings changes is examined. The daily data covers the period of 1990 to 2016 and emerging market crises, such as the 1994 Mexican peso crisis, 1997 Asian financial crises and the global 2008 financial crises. The estimations provide evidence of an asymmetric effect of rating changes on stock volatilities, whereby downgrades have a s
