The main work in the paper builds on the modeling paradigm of Eisenberg and Noe (2001), extending it by introducing bankruptcy liquidation expenses. Comparing with the classical model, we discuss the existence and uniqueness of clearing payment vector under the extended model. In classical model, the whole financial system net worth has no loss throughout the clearing process. While, in the extended model proposed by the paper, there must be certain loss once some firm is insolvent and the loss is correlated to the magnitude of cascading defaults.","PeriodicalId":251115,"journal":{"name":"The Finance","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131294217","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}

The study comprises a sample of 215 MFIs rated by Planet Rating between 2003 and 2009. The findings, obtained after controlling for endogeneity and selection biases, suggest that board activity and governance rating scores are associated with profitability. In addition, the study of the moderating effect of legal status reveals a significant difference of the effect of governance rating score and CEO/Chairman duality. In view of the results, it seems difficult to conclude definitively that the legal form of MFIs has a moderating effect on their financial performance. The existence of a moderating effect and thus validation of the thesis that shareholder-based MFI governance systems would be more effective than nonprofit MFIs depends on how governance is measured. The results are robust to other measures of financial performance and to the functional form of board activity.","PeriodicalId":251115,"journal":{"name":"The Finance","volume":"49 196 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125948105","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}

Using the trades and portfolios of a large sample of 87,373 French investors over a eight-year period, we show that our index outperforms other usual indices (based on surveys, macro-economic variables or buy-sell imbalances) in predicting short-term returns on long-short portfolios based on size or on the book-to-market ratio. An increase of one standard deviation of our market sentiment index in a given month implies a decrease of 1.05% of the return on such a long-short size based portfolio the following month.

Merger and acquisition waves are led by industry shocks, where the probability that the target’s shareholders will be paid with stock increases with overpricing of the bidding firm’s shares, and tends to decrease with overconfidence of its manager. It thus appears that behavioral predictions do not necessarily contradict the economic disturbance hypothesis. Quite to the contrary, the influence of managerial overconfidence on the method of payment seems to be sensitive to industry shocks.","PeriodicalId":251115,"journal":{"name":"The Finance","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123759221","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}

We focus on China listing corporations covering various in-dustries and find out that there is a negative linear relation and non-linear “U” effect between the monopoly expansion of state-owned enterprises and EVA; that is to say, the monopoly decreases EVA of the company. However, when the monopoly expansion of state-owned enterprises increases to a certain transition point, EVA begins to increase, indicating that the excess monopoly profit compensates for the negative effect to enterprise.
