Book excerpt: The Defense Financial and Investment Review (DFAIR) was chartered by the Deputy Secretary of Defense to study contract pricing, financing and profit (markup) policies. Financial data covering the years 1975-1983 were collected and analyzed by the DFAIR and compared with similar data collected during the 1970-1974 period for the Profit '76 study. Comparisons were also made with the financial results of durable goods manufacturers, and with the commercial work performed by defense contractor segments. Analysis of industry financial and investment trends indicates that the goals of many of the precious policy changes are being realized, although there are a number of refinements and improvements which need to be made. The final report of DFAIR is based on data from many sources. Four appendices (in separate volumes) contain much of the source data. The appendices are not required to understand the report, but they would be useful to anyone interested in doing further research in the subject area. Keywords: Capital investment; Contract financing; Contract pricing; Profit policy; Pricing; Progress payments; Weighted guidelines.

This book was released on 1984 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defense Manpower Data Center conducted a survey of DoD procurement personnel at the request of the Defense Financial and Investment Review Study Group. The questionnaire covered the following topics: DoD Pricing; Profit; Contract Financing; Contractor Investment Incentives. The survey was mailed to respondents in the Army, Navy, and Air Force in June, 1984. Overall response rate was 73.9 percent. Respondents agreed that DoD Procurement Policy was effective in the contribution of contract financing policies and practices to maintaining the viability of the industrial base. A majority of respondents disagreed that DoD pricing policies and practices contribute to the policy objective of the lowest possible cost to the government. Personnel believe they are in a good position to negotiate effectively with a contractor. The respondents generally disagreed with treating capital cost of money as part of the cost base for determining profit. Other topics explored were: 1)policies for determining reasonableness of the contractor's employee compensation costs, 2) efficient contractor performance and maintaining the viability of the industrial base, and 3)profits realized by the defense contractors. A majority agreed that increased capital investment by defense contractors would produce cost reductions.

Download or read book National Defense Budgeting and Financial Management written by Philip J. Candreva and published by IAP. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Department of Defense accounts for over half of federal government discretionary spending and over 3% of GDP. Half of all federal employees work for the Department. The annual budget for the military not only provides for those salaries, it covers the baseline and wartime operating expenses of the force, and hundreds of billions of dollars of investment in new capabilities and technologies. Given the materiality of the defense function and amount of resources it consumes, the processes for budgeting for defense and managing the funds is important to understand. This text provides a fully integrated view of defense budgeting. It takes the position that defense budgeting is a specific instance of public budgeting, and public budgeting is a specific instance of public policy. In order to fully understand how the nation budgets for defense, it first lays a theoretical and conceptual foundation for public policy and public budgeting. That is followed by an assessment of the political and policy context for defense, including the overarching federal budget process and role of Congress in setting defense policy. Only then does the text explore the specifics of defense budgeting: how, by whom, and why the budget is crafted. Beyond the topic of budgeting – formulating, requesting, and legitimating the request for funds – the book tackles financial management topics. Included are discussions of federal appropriations law, funds management, accounting requirements, intragovernmental business transactions, and contemporary topics of defense policy such as funding overseas contingency operations in an era of deficit control legislation. This book is an appropriate reference for both students and practitioners of defense budgeting and financial management. It would also be appropriate in a general public budgeting course. Most public budgeting texts focus on state and municipal governments and there are few that address the federal system. This book fills that gap and provides a specific example of federal budgeting.
Download or read book Assessing Department of Defense Use of Data Analytics and Enabling Data Management to Improve Acquisition Outcomes written by Philip S. Antón and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the conference report accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017, Congress expressed concern that the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) "does not sufficiently incorporate data into its acquisition-related learning and decision-making" and asked six questions about "the use of data analysis, measurement, and other evaluation-related methods in DoD acquisition programs." In this report, the authors decompose and measure acquisition functions, data governance, and training to assess how data and associated analytics support DoD acquisition decision making. The authors found that the DoD is applying a breadth of data analytics to acquisition. Capabilities range from simple data archives and plotting to archives integrated with commercial analytic tools. The DoD has implemented an array of data governance and management practices, but major challenges remain, including a culture against data sharing and concerns about security and oversight burden. Some commercial breakthroughs in advanced analytics sound promising for DoD acquisition, but some might not be applicable; research is ongoing. Advancement should include developing a data analytics strategy across acquisition domains, expanding data governance and data sharing, and continuing to expand and mature data collection, access, and analytic layers. Also, mechanisms are needed to authorize and ensure protected access to data for both the DoD and external analysts. Improved incentives and understanding of data analytics could encourage decision makers to make better use of capabilities" -- Publisher's description.
Download or read book Empirical Asset Pricing written by Wayne Ferson and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to the theory and methods of empirical asset pricing, integrating classical foundations with recent developments. This book offers a comprehensive advanced introduction to asset pricing, the study of models for the prices and returns of various securities. The focus is empirical, emphasizing how the models relate to the data. The book offers a uniquely integrated treatment, combining classical foundations with more recent developments in the literature and relating some of the material to applications in investment management. It covers the theory of empirical asset pricing, the main empirical methods, and a range of applied topics. The book introduces the theory of empirical asset pricing through three main paradigms: mean variance analysis, stochastic discount factors, and beta pricing models. It describes empirical methods, beginning with the generalized method of moments (GMM) and viewing other methods as special cases of GMM; offers a comprehensive review of fund performance evaluation; and presents selected applied topics, including a substantial chapter on predictability in asset markets that covers predicting the level of returns, volatility and higher moments, and predicting cross-sectional differences in returns. Other chapters cover production-based asset pricing, long-run risk models, the Campbell-Shiller approximation, the debate on covariance versus characteristics, and the relation of volatility to the cross-section of stock returns. An extensive reference section captures the current state of the field. The book is intended for use by graduate students in finance and economics; it can also serve as a reference for professionals.
