R. Mittoo. 2014. “The Gap between the Theory and Practice of Corporate Valuation: Survey of European Experts.” Journal of Applied Corporate Finance 26, no. 4 (Fall): 106–17. doi:https://doi.org/10.1111/jacf.12095, 112; KPMG. 2017. “Cost of Capital Study 2017: Diverging Markets, Converging Business Models.” Accessed September 28, 2018. https://assets.kpmg.com/content/dam/kpmg/ch/pdf/cost-of-capital-study-2017-en.pdf, 37). We hypothesize that even within industries, there is a significant relationship between the cost of equity and the life cycle of a firm. We argue that these variables are correlated because different life-cycle stages exhibit different degrees of systematic risk. Therefore, as the firm moves along its life cycle, its unlevered beta decreases. We define the stages of the firm life cycle based on a modification of the theoretical typology of (Miller, D., and P. Friesen. 1984. “A Longitudinal Study of the Corporate Life-Cycle.” Management Sciences 30 (10): 1161–83. http://www.jstor.org/stable/2631384, 1162–3) and then classify a sample of listed companies into these stages using (Dickinson, V. 2011. “Cash Flow Patterns as a Proxy for Firm Life-Cycle.” The Accounting Review 86 (6): 1969–94. doi:https://doi.org/10.2308/accr-10130) cash flow statements methodology. We construct value-weighted portfolios that are formed based on our life-cycle stages classification, adapting the procedure of (Fama, E., and K. R. French. 1993. “Common Risk Factors in the Returns on Stocks and Bonds.” Journal of Financial Economics 33 (1): 3–56. doi:https://doi.org/10.1016/0304-405X(93)90023-5). Finally, we compare the betas (levered and unlevered) of these portfolios to determine whether there are statistically significant differences. Our results show clear evidence of a relationship between betas and the corporate life cycle and that this relationship is robust to both changes in the period of analysis and omitted variables bias (when controlling with the four-factor model of (Carhart, M. M. 1997. “On Persistence in Mutual Fund Performance.” The Journal of Finance 52 (1): 57–82. doi:https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1540-6261.1997.tb03808.x). We believe our results show an important shortcoming in a widely used methodology among practitioners for estimating the CAPM.","PeriodicalId":39482,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Valuation and Economic Loss Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/jbvela-2018-0009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45488470","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 results indicate that even though there was a prohibition ruling of buying gold credit products after being previously allowed, the interest of the society in using Islamic banking products did not decrease at all. What underlines the society’s consideration of not reducing their interests in using Islamic banking products is the abundance of alternative Islamic banking products that can be chosen by them according to their preferences.

Hossain","doi":"10.1142/s2737566821900015","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1142/s2737566821900015","url":null,"abstract":"This paper reviews three interrelated propositions advanced in the literature to explain the U.S. financial crisis of 2007 to 2009, and draws cogent implications for the roles of monetary and fiscal policies in improving macroeconomic management across countries to sustain global financial stability. The three propositions advanced to explain the U.S. financial crisis are: (1) the monetary-excess hypothesis (2) lax regulation and supervision of banks and financial institutions, and (3) large-scale foreign capital inflows. Of these interrelated explanations, the first appears to be the primary cause of the boom-bust cycle in the U.S. residential housing industry. It led to the financial crisis in an environment of lax regulation and supervision of banks and financial institutions, which intermediated large-scale inflows of foreign capital to finance large, sustained budget deficits. The U.S. financial crisis engulfed the global economy from 2007 to 2009. Its consequences continue to be felt internationally, especially in the context of the debate on the role of monetary policy in reviving an economy in recession in a low-inflationary environment. The body of literature that has emerged since the peak of the financial crisis suggests that the monetary and fiscal stimuli, aimed at rescuing the U.S. and other major economies from the recession, had limited effect. The key lesson that can be drawn from the U.S. financial crisis in a global setup is that rules-based monetary and fiscal policies can be more effective at not creating a boom-bust level of volatility in one or more economies. In addition, this paper concurs with the view that rules-based monetary and fiscal policies should be associated with improved financial regulation and supervision, in order to maintain global financial stability under the current regime of deregulated global capital markets.","PeriodicalId":39482,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Valuation and Economic Loss Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76367087","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}
