Download or read book Demand for Value Added and Value Added Exchange Rates written by Mr.Rudolfs Bems and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-09-08 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the role of cross-border input linkages in governing how international relative price changes influence demand for domestic value added. We define a novel value-added real effective exchange rate (REER), which aggregates bilateral value-added price changes, and link this REER to demand for value added. Input linkages enable countries to gain competitiveness following depreciations by supply chain partners, and hence counterbalance beggar-thy-neighbor effects. Cross-country differences in input linkages also imply that the elasticity of demand for value added is country specific. Using global input-output data, we demonstrate these conceptual insights are quantitatively important and compute historical value-added REERs.

Download or read book Cross Border Acquisitions and Shareholder Wealth Evidence from Spain written by Martin Renze-Westendorf and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2006-08-04 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Over the last decade product and factor markets have continued to become more integrated, new markets have emerged and the globalization has become an important strategic issue for companies. As a result, international investment opportunities have in-creased while regulatory restrictions on capital markets have been eased and the market for corporate control has become more integrated. Consequently, the international acquisition activity has increased in both absolute and relative terms over the last decades leading to a significant rise of the proportion of international to domestic merger activity, particularly at the end of the 1990s. As more and more companies consider international diversification as a strategic option for their further growth, the question arises which valuation consequences accompany cross-border acquisitions. Furthermore, it is to be analyzed whether these consequences differ systematically from domestic acquisitions and what could be possible value drivers in these cases. Although mergers and acquisitions in general have received wide attention in academic research, studies concerning the wealth effects of cross-border acquisitions are limited. Moreover, existing empirical evidence primarily stems from the US and UK capital markets neglecting generally the European perspective. Spain, Europe s fifth largest economy, has seen a series of considerable cross-border acquisitions in the last decade culminating in the merger of Santander with Abbey National in 2004 for over USD 15bn, making it the tenth largest transaction worldwide in 2004.3 The Spanish M&A market boom of the 1990s was initially driven by a consolidation process in the financial services, utilities and telecoms sectors which mostly were formerly state-owned. As a consequence of the increasing market concentration Spanish companies expanded internationally, creating some of the biggest corporations world-wide and becoming South America s largest foreign investor. These recent developments and the high acquisition activity from Spain into other countries make it worthwhile to shed light on the valuation consequences and their possible explanations by an empirical analysis. Considering the aforementioned, it is the aim of this thesis to answer the question as to whether the foreign acquisition wave of the last decade in Spain really created value and therewith supports the strategic decisions of the management. The analysis should [...]

Download or read book Regionalization vs Globalization written by Mr.Hideaki Hirata and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2013-01-22 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Both global and regional economic linkages have strengthened substantially over the past quarter century. We employ a dynamic factor model to analyze the implications of these linkages for the evolution of global and regional business cycles. Our model allows us to assess the roles played by the global, regional, and country-specific factors in explaining business cycles in a large sample of countries and regions over the period 1960–2010. We find that, since the mid-1980s, the importance of regional factors has increased markedly in explaining business cycles especially in regions that experienced a sharp growth in intra-regional trade and financial flows. By contrast, the relative importance of the global factor has declined over the same period. In short, the recent era of globalization has witnessed the emergence of regional business cycles.

Download or read book Risk Management in Supply Chains written by Mohammad Heydari and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines a relatively unexplored issue in supply chain risk management, which is how long companies specifically take to respond to catastrophic events of low probability but high impact. The book also looks at why such supply chain disruptions are unavoidable, and consequently, all complex supply chains are inherently at risk. The book illustrates how companies can respond to supply chain disruptions with faster responses and in shorter lead-times to reduce impact. In reducing total response time, designing solutions, and deploying a recovery plan sooner after a disruption in anticipation of such events, companies reduce the impact of disruption risk. The book also explores the basics of multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and how they contribute to both the quality of the financial economic decision-making process and the quality of the resulting decisions. The book illustrates through cases in the construction sector how this industry has become more complex and riskier due to the diverse nature of activities among global companies.

Download or read book Corporate Governance in the European Insurance Industry written by O. Ricci and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-21 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate scandals at the beginning of the 2000s and the recent global financial crisis have renewed the attention of academics, regulators and practitioners to agency problems and possible solutions in the financial sector. Since that time, much thought has been given to new regulations and international corporate governance standards, in an attempt to guarantee prudent and sound financial management. While much of this thought has been focussed on the banking sector, Corporate Governance in the European Insurance Industry provides a unique perspective on the subject, focusing on the insurance industry and asking some important theoretical and practical questions. Are insurance companies systemically relevant, and does the existing regulation provide adequate protection for customers and guarantee financial stability? Is regulatory intervention consistent with economic and financial theories? And crucially, is this intervention consistent with empirical evidence of the behaviour and performance of insurance companies? The first part of this book provides the reader with a comprehensive review of current academic studies on the topic; the second part moves on to examine the regulation of corporate governance and its recent evolution after the global financial crisis. Within a context of vivid debate in the financial services industry, the issues explored in this book will be of value to anyone with an interest in insurance corporate governance and regulation. It is also a key source of research for academics in insurance and finance, as well as PhD students and post-graduate students in relevant subjects.

Download or read book The International Aluminium Cartel written by Marco Bertilorenzi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aluminium was one of most cartelised industries in the international economic panorama of the 20th century. Born following the discovery of electrolytic smelting process in 1886, this industry, even in its infancy, established a cartel which characterised its history until nearly 1980. Managers of the aluminium industry from various historical eras and countries shared the same vision about the development of their industry: to keep prices as stable as possible in order to encourage expansions and to provide return on investments. Price instability, which characterised the trade of other commodities, was unknown to the aluminium industry. This book neither argues that cartels are fundamentally evil, nor attempts to demonstrate that cartels are optimal business organisations. It instead provides an in-depth and frank analysis of the internal working of industrial organisations and of the interplay between cartels and political powers and institutions. The International Aluminium Cartel offers explanations for the construction and collapse of cartels, descriptions of their operations, and an historical interpretation of their experiences. Incorporating information gleaned from a unique collection of private and public archives from several countries, this unique study will appeal to a wide variety of readers, including academics interested in industrial and business history.
