En esta nota se hace un breve repaso de las principales estadísticas de las firmas no transadas en bolsa tanto en los Estados Unidos como en Colombia como un ejemplo de un Mercado emergente o en desarrollo. Se presentan algunas alternativas para calcular el costo del patrimonio o capital propio...

This paper shows a formulation for the cost of equity and the WACC for growing perpetuities. Some authors have derived the general expressions for those formulas but not specifically for perpetuities with constant growth. The result obtained is that a previously general formulation for a finite...

The recent notion of Average Internal Rate of Return (AIRR) [Magni 2010, The Engineering Economist, 55(2), 150-180] completely solves the long-standing problem of the internal rate of return (IRR). While the AIRR is a return measure, this paper presents a cash-flow measure, namely the ratio of...

We study the sensitivity of investment to cash flow conditional on measures of q in an adjustment costs framework with costly external …nance. We present a benchmark model in which this conditional investment-cash flow sensitivity increases monotonically with the cost premium for external …-...

Several studies use the investment - cash flow sensitivity as a measure of financing constraints while some others disagree.The source of this disparity lies mostly in differences in opinion regarding the segregation of severely financially constrained firms from less constrained ones.We examine...

We investigate the association between voluntary disclosure and the risk-related discount investors apply to price. First, we study the association between (endogenous) disclosure choice and the discount in price induced by changes in the underlying model parameters: this informs empirical...

The problem of decomposing a cash flow has been treated in recent years by Gronchi (1986, 1987), Peccati (1987, 1991, 1992), Stewart (1991), Pressacco and Stucchi (1997). After showing that the Economic Value Added introduced by Stewart bears a strong resemblance to (and in some conditions...

Studies of accounting information value relevance are often based on the scale of R2 value. However, Insukindro (1998) states that a high R2 coefficient does not imply that a model is superior. When linear regression estimation produces a high coefficient of R2 but it is not consistent with the...

Little is known about the reactions of daily returns on portfolios with different characteristics to unexpected changes in macroeconomic conditions. This paper fills this void by analyzing the reactions of daily returns on portfolios formed on size and book-to-market ratio to news about a wide...

We investigate implications for the cost of capital in a model with agency conflicts between inside and outside shareholders, where the severity of agency costs depends on a parameter representing investor protection. Using firm-level data for Italy and Germany we find significant differences in...
