First, as a measure of leverage, helpful to understand the spread of systemic risk in the economy. Second, we identify LTV throughout financial covenants. Finally, we implement LTV to indicate the probability of default.\u0000Objectives. The goal of the paper is to study the impact of collateral sufficiency on credit risk throughout adjusted financial covenants for bank corporate loans.\u0000Methods. To conduct the research, the authors implement econometric methods, linear regressions and binary models.\u0000Results. We have revealed the prevalence of the posterior theory of the impact of the collateral sufficiency on the credit risk evaluation by corporate loans. We have also revealed that the higher credit risks, the higher collateral requirements to pledge the loans.\u0000Conclusions and Relevance. We have considered a new approach to identify collateral requirements, throughout LTV measures, as adjusted financial covenants on the Russian market. Lender’s preferences are being stronger at the time of downturns in economic activity. At the same time, economic growth neutralizes any visible behavioral favors/patterns. Hereby psychological risk components are quite essential, and need studying in modern banking.","PeriodicalId":111899,"journal":{"name":"Digest Finance","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125570346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objectives The study aims to investigate the specifics of companies operating in the digital economy and to develop proposals for improving their analysis. Methods The methodology of the study rests on the stakeholder theory and resource-based approach to organizational analysis. Results I developed a methodology that takes into account the specifics of companies operating in the quaternary sector of the economy. It includes seven stages. At the first stage, company's competitive advantages are assessed. At the second stage, risks generated by key stakeholders are analyzed, including those associated with intellectual and social and reputation capital. At the third stage, intellectual capital is examined, then – social and reputation capital by its four components. At the fifth stage, company's cash flows and financial solvency are estimated; at the sixth stage, efficiency of investment activities is evaluated on the basis of cash flows from operations and financing. At the final stage of the analysis, value drivers that relate directly to intellectual and social and reputation capital, and company's fundamental value are estimated. Conclusions The developed methodology enables to assess the operations of companies of the digital economy on the basis of stakeholder approach. The article may be useful for analysts involved in company performance evaluation using the integrated reporting.","PeriodicalId":111899,"journal":{"name":"Digest Finance","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130765182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Throughout the period, the projected conditions may change. To adapt to such unpredictable developments, enterprises have to incur significant financial costs, thus causing unrecoverable losses. Therefore, many projects at the investment stage are exposed to material risk. Objectives We devise a new approach to evaluating whether the productive potential of the Russian aviation industry is effectively developed. Throughout the implementation period, there come out different estimates of the demand, cost, and new technologies. Managing the implementation of protracted investment projects requires a toolkit for applying the real options approach. The research relies upon methods of logic and statistical analysis, and mathematical modeling in economics. Results We propose a new classification of possible changes in the investment project environment. We analyzed losses by project implementation scenario at different stages. The research also considers the specifics of the aviation industry and analyzes how the technological level of production influences respective risks. Conclusions and Relevance We assessed the effectiveness of the productive potential development in the Russian aviation industry. It would be reasonable to consider our estimates to analyze the effectiveness of adaptive management of protracted investment projects for the productive potential development. The estimates may help identify the most material risks at different stages of such projects. We also provide our recommendations for optimizing the management of such risks.","PeriodicalId":111899,"journal":{"name":"Digest Finance","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121063629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objectives The article aims to obtain results of a cross-country analysis of the month-of-the-year effect on the stock markets of the BRICS countries and determine the efficiency of the markets under consideration. Methods For the study, I used the regression and econometric analyses approaches applying the Microsoft Excel and Gretl software. Results I examined the stock exchanges of the BRICS countries and determined the stability of the month-of-the-year effect. The latter is defined only for the IBOV, RTS, and TOP40 indexes, which are the major market ones in the Brazilian Stock Exchange (BM&FBOVESPA), Moscow Exchange, and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange Limited, respectively.
