{"title":"Hacia un nuevo paradigma en el estudio y el diseño del Derecho concursal en Iberoamérica (Toward a New Way of Understanding Bankruptcy Law in Ibero-America)","authors":"Aurelio Gurrea-Martínez","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.2805303","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.2805303","url":null,"abstract":"Spanish Abstract: La utilizacion de los procedimientos concursales en Iberoamerica resulta notablemente inferior que en otros paises de nuestro entorno. En ocasiones, se ha alegado que el escaso uso de los procedimientos de insolvencia se debe a una falta de \"cultura concursal\" de los empresarios de la comunidad iberoamericana, que, probablemente, no tienen la misma vision del emprendimiento, la innovacion y el fracaso empresarial que los empresarios de otros paises de nuestro entorno. Sin embargo, a nuestro modo de ver, la reticencia al uso de los procedimientos concursales en la comunidad iberoamericana no es producto de un fenomeno sociologico o cultural sino, mas bien, de un problema institucional: el modo tradicional de entender y analizar el Derecho concursal. En este sentido, la doctrina tradicional no ha evaluado el Derecho concursal desde una perspectiva economica, o, si se quiere, desde el punto de vista que el diseno (ni siquiera la utilizacion) del sistema concursal puede suponer, desde un punto de vista ex ante, en el comportamiento de los individuos. Por este motivo, se han creado instituciones concursales que resultan poco atractivas para el deudor, para los acreedores, o, como veremos que ocurre en Espana, para ambos. Este escaso atractivo del concurso ha provocado que, en perjuicio de la economia en su conjunto, los operadores minimicen (ex ante) el riesgo de insolvencia o, en su caso, tengan reticencias (ex post) al uso de los procedimientos concursales una vez que se produce la insolvencia. Si el diseno del sistema concursal resulta perjudicial para los acreedores, se generara un escenario indeseable para la actividad economica, en la medida en que el Derecho concursal incentivara que, desde un punto de vista ex ante, los acreedores: (i) reduzcan el credito disponible o, en su caso, incrementen el coste de la deuda; y (ii) puedan inducir al deudor a invertir (o sobreinvertir) en activos poco rentables e innovadores pero facilmente hipotecables (normalmente, inmobiliarios y bienes de equipo), con el objetivo de tener un mejor acceso al credito. Por su parte, si el diseno del sistema concursal resulta perjudicial para el deudor, si el diseno del sistema concursal resulta perjudicial para el deudor, tambien se generara un escenario indeseable para la economia en su conjunto, en la medida en que el Derecho concursal incentivara, desde un punto de vista ex ante, que los deudores: (i) reduzcan sus posibilidades de financiacion por desincentivar el uso de la deuda; (ii) asuman menos riesgos empresariales, ya que, en perjuicio de la innovacion y la competitividad de las empresas, los deudores preferiran proyectos de inversion menos rentables pero mas seguros; y (iii) dilaten lo maximo posible la apertura del concurso de acreedores una vez devienen insolventes, con el consecuente perjuicio que esta dilacion podria provocar para la reorganizacion de empresas viables y la maximizacion del grado de satisfaccion de los acreedores.

O instrumento de coleta de dados foi um questionário enviado por e-mail a proprietários de MPMEs. Os dados foram coletados de agosto a novembro de 2015. Os resultados apontaram que: a) o pagamento de fornecedores a prazo era a modalidade de financiamento mais utilizada; b) a principal finalidade dos empréstimos bancários foi capital de giro; c) os respondentes apresentaram pouco conhecimento sobre os fundos garantidores de operações de crédito. Visto que a insuficiência de garantias é uma das principais barreiras à concessão de financiamento bancário para as MPMEs, o pouco conhecimento sugere deficiências na veiculação de informações por parte das instituições responsáveis pela administração desses fundos. <b>English Abstract:</b> Despite the importance of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) for the economy and for creating jobs in Brazil, there is a lack of studies and research on the sector. The aim of this study was to describe the funding situation for MSMEs in the state of São Paulo. The non-probabilistic sample is composed of 71 enterprises. Data were collected using a questionnaire sent via e-mail to the owners of MSMEs, with data being collected between August and November 2015. The results indicate that: a) the most common source of financing used was accounts payable; b) the main purpose of bank loans was as working capital and c) respondents had little knowledge of bank financing guarantee options for small businesses. Since insuficiente colateral is one of the main barriers to granting bank financing to MSMEs, the lack of knowledge suggests deficiencies in the disclosure of information by the institutions responsible for administering these guarantee options.","PeriodicalId":410187,"journal":{"name":"FEN: Institutions & Financing Practices (Topic)","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133258759","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}

Although overvaluation at the announcement is not necessary for market timing, we find a significant stock price run-up and reversal surrounding SEO announcements, which are consistent with US findings. We also find stock prices are overvalued over four years preceding the announcement. These results suggest that Chinese firms announce SEOs following persistent overvaluation and additional stock price run-ups. The market price at execution is also overpriced, suggesting that market timing is an important motive for Chinese SEOs. We argue that regulative screening makes market timing difficult and accordingly Chinese managers are moderate in public seasoned equity offerings.","PeriodicalId":410187,"journal":{"name":"FEN: Institutions & Financing Practices (Topic)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133117989","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 economic link between policy uncertainty, reduction in cash holdings, and increase in dividend payouts is stronger for firms in countries in which state expropriation is more likely or minority shareholder protection is lower.

We observe that for non-financial companies the issue terms announcement returns are negatively affected by the discount size, while firm size, growth prospects and good previous stock performance have a positive impact. We also investigate which factors seem to influence managers to engage in deeper discounts when these are so disliked by investors. Evidence is provided that firms with more leverage, larger bid-ask spreads or suffering losses tend to choose deeper discounts. We conclude that managers balance the expected negative reaction of the market to a price discount with the risks of a costly issue failure, with these being higher when the firm experiences losses, has a higher volatility and also when the stock market climate is more adverse.","PeriodicalId":410187,"journal":{"name":"FEN: Institutions & Financing Practices (Topic)","volume":"76 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132155202","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}

By means of a simple model we show that competition can a ect portfolio risk, insolvency risk, liquidity risk, and systemic risk di erently. The e ect depends crucially on banks’ liability structure, on whether banks are financed by insured retail deposits or by uninsured wholesale debts, and on whether the indebtness is exogenous or endogenous. In particular we suggest that, while in a classical originate-to-hold banking industry competition might increase financial stability, the opposite can be true for an originate-to-distribute banking industry of a larger fraction of market short-term funding. This leads us to revisit the existing empirical literature using a more precise classification of risk. Our theoretical model therefore helps to clarify a number of apparently contradictory empirical results and proposes new ways to analyze the impact of banking competition on financial stability.","PeriodicalId":410187,"journal":{"name":"FEN: Institutions & Financing Practices (Topic)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116398364","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}

{"title":"Global Convergence of Health Care Financing in OECD Countries: An Equilibrium Based Asset Pricing Approach","authors":"William R. Pratt, Gökçe Soydemir, E. Bastida","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2468586","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2468586","url":null,"abstract":"We provide an equilibrium based asset pricing framework to investigate the patterns in health care finance in 30 OECD countries. Using purchasing power parity adjusted data we find that the sample of countries together as a whole does not exhibit a pattern of convergence. However, there is some evidence of regional convergence within NAFTA, the E.U. and those countries with similar economic conditions such as the developing nations. Interestingly when compared to pre-1980 the standard deviation of financing expenditures divided by average expenditures (variation coefficient) increases when the U.S. is included in the G7 countries and decreases when the U.S. is excluded. Thus in this category of nations the U.S. appears to exhibit somewhat of a unique pattern. However, based on the benchmark theoretical price generated by CAPM overpricing (the difference between the actual minus the theoretical) tends to decrease over time with respect to the U.S., but tends to increase most notably for Australia, the U.K., Norway, Ireland, Turkey, the Check Republic and Greece. As their consumption of health care increase at an increasing rate, we note that most countries exhibit a converging pattern beginning from the 1980s. Developing nations increasingly exhibit excessive health expenditures. The results are consistent with the view that globalization in health care occurs at varying speeds in the U.S. and other OECD countries and trading blocks. Lastly, the CAPM predicted estimates backed by income elasticities, point towards convergence of countries as groups which seem to indicate greater opportunities for arbitrage exist across trading blocks and those countries with dissimilar economic conditions, but not as much within trading blocks and countries with similar economic conditions.","PeriodicalId":410187,"journal":{"name":"FEN: Institutions & Financing Practices (Topic)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127586911","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}
