This paper proposes a Stochastic Programming (SP) approach for the calculation of the liquidity-adjusted Value-at-Risk (LVaR). The model presented in this paper offers an alternative to Almgren and Chriss’s mean-variance approach (1999 and 2000). In this research, a two-stage stochastic...

In the electricity sector, most of the trades are still done in the OTC market without direct mitigation of credit risk. Newer discussions fuelled by the European Commission (EUCOM 2009a,b) show that there is a political will to enforce a stronger collateralization policy on all European...

In this paper, to analyze the similarities and differences between the regional finance of Japan and South Korea (hereinafter, “Korea”), we compared questionnaires to small to midsize companies located in Korea’s Daegu/Gyeongbuk region with questionnaires to small to midsize companies...

This paper employs an incremental approach to explore the determinants of corporate debt financing strategies such as the factors of the issuing costs, information asymmetry, growth opportunity, credit quality and managerial ownership. Addition to univariate analysis model, we use multiple logit...

We present a microeconometric study of the impact of financial constraints on investment decisions of 755 quoted and unquoted West German firms over the period 1989 to 1994. The underlying theoretical model is based upon rational expectations and convex adjustment costs. The panel data estimates...

We have two main objectives in this work. Firstly, to link product market structure with the inventory policy followed by firms. Secondly, to study the effect of different financila contracts in firm's policy, in particular in its inventory policy. This will allow to define for a given economic...

This paper analyzes the strategic role of the temporal dimension of loan commitments in a model of competitive banks with imperfect competition in the borrower's industry.

This paper develops a signaling model to investigate a firm's optimal financial response to corporate income taxation under informational asymmetries. The model obtains informationally constrained efficient equilibria in which a firm's debt level and inside equity position jointly serve as a...

This paper analyzes the transmission mechanisms of monetary policy in a general equilibrium model of securities markets and banking with asymmetric information. Banks' optimal asset/liability policy is such that in equilibrium capital adequacy constraints are always binding. Asymmetric...
