In this paper, we discuss how to get good papers done in Economics, Business, and others and get them published in good journals. We first discuss how to get good theoretical papers done in Economics and Business, including the cost of capital, investors' behavioral models by using the cost of...

Duration is an important parameter used by investors to choose between different investment opportunities in financial economics. While the concept of duration is usually associated with fixed-income assets, its expansion to the equity assets is becoming more relevant in the recent period, due...

Our new Hybrid Asset Allocation (HAA) is a follow-up on our Bold Asset Allocation (BAA). Using BAA as our inspiration, we try to compose a much simpler strategy for retail investors. We aim for a balanced but aggressive strategy and much lower cash-fractions than BAA. An important role for his...

This paper proposes a model aiming at decomposing the Net Final Value of a project under certainty. It makes use of a systemic outlook: the investor's net worth is regarded as a dynamic system whose structure changes over time. On this basis, a profitability index is presented, here named...

That investors should diversify their portfolios is a core principle of modern finance. Yet there are some periods where diversification is undesirable. When the portfolio’s main growth engine performs well, investors prefer the opposite of diversification. An ideal complement to the growth...

This paper presents an analytically tractable and practically-oriented model of non-linear dynamics of a multi-asset market in the limit of a large number of assets. The asset price dynamics are driven by money flows into the market from external investors, and their price impact. This leads to...

This paper presents a methodology which blends sensitivity analysis and fuzzy arithmetic for managing uncertainty in project financing transactions. Specifically, we adopt the perspective of the equityholders and use the average Return On Equity (ROE) to measure shareholder value creation and,...

Our paper contributes to the literature by extending the theory of the mean-variance (MV) rules for both risk averters and risk lovers to the MV rule for investors with reverse S-shaped utility. To do so, we first introduce the definition of the MV rule for investors with reverse S-shaped...

Our aim is to develop a very offensive (‘aggressive’) tactical asset allocation strategy, by combining some of our previous models like Protected- (PAA), Vigilant- (VAA) and Defensive (DAA) Asset Allocation. We will call this new strategy the ‘Bold Asset Allocation’ (BAA). BAA combines a...
