Book The Analysis of Effects of Initial Public Offering on the Warsaw Stock Exchange

Download or read book The Analysis of Effects of Initial Public Offering on the Warsaw Stock Exchange written by Katarzyna Kopczewska and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2006-03-29 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: advanced, Warsaw University (Faculty of Economic Sciences), language: English, abstract: European integration will have a real influence on the shape of the financial market in Poland and in other former socialistic countries which undergone the transformation. To stop the tendency of weakening of Polish stock exchange it is important to recognize mechanisms influencing the decisions of companies about the public sale of shares. Decision of companies about the entry on the stock exchange is driven with the expectation that it will help them in the realization of the particular goals. There are many primary reasons for issuing shares, among other to gain the capital on investments, to acquire prestige, to increase sale etc. In Poland till now the entry on the stock exchange of some companies was a method of the privatization, however this process extinguishes. Going public companies will be owned by private businessmen. Hence, very important is to recognize the original mechanisms of initial public offering (IPO). The analysis of IPO effects, enforced with the use of panel models points, that thanks to funds from going public the company realize investment projects and use resources in compliance with declared destination, i.e. on investments, and not on the debts repayment. Public companies do not change their previous capital structure, the debts after the entry on the stock exchange grow to the level from before IPO. Listing on the stock exchange raises the size of the company, but lowers the rate of its growth and decreases the profitability. Findings from research confirm hypotheses that companies go public from the opportunistic motives and then by the way they realize investment programmes.

Book The Effect of Initial Public Offering  IPO  Firm Legitimacy on Cooperative Agreements and Performance

Download or read book The Effect of Initial Public Offering IPO Firm Legitimacy on Cooperative Agreements and Performance written by Timothy Scott Reed and published by . This book was released on 2000-04-01 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines firm legitimacy at the time of a firm's initial public stock offering (IPO) and its impact on the quantity and quality of cooperative agreements post-IPO. Firm legitimacy is operationalized at the time of IPO as a combination of total firm value, number of employees, firm age, market-to-book ratio, and percentage of ownership maintained by the original owners. The dissertation finds that firm value, market-to-book ratio, and firm age are positively related to an increase in the quantity of cooperative agreements while only the value of the firm at time of IPO is positively related to the quality of cooperative agreements post-IPO. The dissertation also finds that increased use of cooperative agreements in the post-IPO environment does not positively affect firm performance. Firm performance is operationalized as changes in stock price, sales growth, and return on investment (ROI). A negative relationship is found to exist between increased cooperative agreements and firm ROI. These results are important because they provide some initial insights into which variables typically associated with firm legitimacy have the greatest association with the quantity and quality of cooperative agreements established by firms at the critical time of their initial public stock offerings and subsequent firm performance.

Book Initial Public Offerings

Download or read book Initial Public Offerings written by Michelle Lowry and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this monograph is to provide an overview of the IPO literature since 2000. The fewer numbers of companies going public in recent years has raised many questions regarding the IPO process, in both academic and regulatory circles. As we all strive to understand these changes in the market, it is especially important to understand the dynamics underlying the IPO process. If the process of going public is too costly or the IPO mechanism is plagued by too many conflicts of interest among the various intermediaries, then private companies may rationally choose other methods of raising capital. In a related vein, it is imperative that new regulations not be based on research focusing solely on large, more mature firms. Newly public firms have unique characteristics, and an increased understanding of such issues will contribute positively to well-functioning public markets and further growth of the entrepreneurial sector. We also provide a detailed guide to researchers on how to obtain a research-quality sample of IPOs, from standard data sources. Related to this, we tabulate important corrections to these standard data sources.

Book Why Do Companies Go Public

Download or read book Why Do Companies Go Public written by Marco Pagano and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper empirically analyzes the determinants of an initial public offering (IPO) and the consequences of this decision on a company's investment and financial policy. We compare both the ex ante and the ex post characteristics of IPOs with those of a large sample of privately held companies of similar size. We find that (i) the likelihood of an IPO is positively related to the market-to-book ratio prevailing in the relevant industrial sector and to a company's size, (ii) IPOs are followed by an abnormal reduction in profitability, (iii) the new equity capital raised upon listing is not used to finance subsequent investment and growth, but to reduce leverage, (iv) going public reduces the cost of bank credit; (v) it is often associated by equity sales by controlling shareholders, and is followed by a higher turnover of control than for other companies.

Book Long Run IPO Performance Analysis of German and Spanish Family Owned Businesses

Download or read book Long Run IPO Performance Analysis of German and Spanish Family Owned Businesses written by Peter Jaskiewicz and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article examines the long-run stock market performance of German and Spanish initial public offerings (IPOs) between 1990 and 2000. We distinguish between family- and nonfamily-owned business IPOs by using the power subscale of the F-PEC. Buy-and-hold-abnormal returns (BHAR) are calculated in order to determine abnormal returns. Our results show that three years after going public, investors, on average, realized an abnormal return of -32.8% for German and -36.7% for Spanish IPOs. In both countries, nonfamily business IPOs perform insignificantly better. Regression analyses show that for the whole sample there is a positive company size effect. In family-owned businesses, strong family involvement has a positive impact on the long-run stock market performance, whereas the age of the firm has a negative influence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judging by the sheer number of papers reviewed in this Handbook, the empirical analysis of firms’ financing and investment decisions—empirical corporate finance—has become a dominant field in financial economics. The growing interest in everything “corporate is fueled by a healthy combination of fundamental theoretical developments and recent widespread access to large transactional data bases.

This Handbook takes stock of the main empirical findings to date across an unprecedented spectrum of corporate finance issues, ranging from econometric methodology, to raising capital and capital structure choice, and to managerial incentives and corporate investment behavior. The surveys are written by leading empirical researchers that remain active in their respective areas of interest. With few exceptions, the writing style makes the chapters accessible to industry practitioners. For doctoral students and seasoned academics, the surveys offer dense roadmaps into the empirical research landscape and provide suggestions for future work. *The Handbooks in Finance series offers a broad group of outstanding volumes in various areas of finance *Each individual volume in the series should present an accurate self-contained survey of a sub-field of finance *The series is international in scope with contributions from field leaders the world over

Download or read book Which Factors Determine the Success Or Failure of Startup Companies A Startup Ecosystem Analysis of Hungary Germany and the US written by Christoph Kotsch and published by Anchor Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As more and more startup companies are founded every year worldwide, building up one’s own business does not get easier. Since 9 out of 10 startups fail, future entrepreneurs are well advised to take a look at potential reasons for failure and success. Learning from others’ mistakes and studying success stories can improve their own performance and help to avoid critical errors. The academic paper at hand will provide valuable insights for entrepreneurs. It not only states the most important terms concerning startups but also lists the most important factors for a startup company’s success, according to literature review. Delineating both internal and external factors, this thesis not only delivers a synoptic view of potential challenges inside a startup as well as in its ecosystem, but also juxtaposes these influences in opposition. The second part of this paper analyzes a series of interviews with twelve startup founders from three different regions (the province of North-Rhine Westphalia in Germany, Budapest in Hungary and the state of California in the US). Their views and experiences will be summarized and put into the context of their respective startup ecosystem.

Download or read book Communities in Action written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
