Women entrepreneurs encounters just about one third of all people involved in entrepreneurial activity. Focusing on high income countries the gender gap is even more prevalent. Taking into account that entrepreneurship is considered a key driver for growth the issue is straight forward, but the solution seem more dubious.
On that behalf NICe (Nordic Innovation Center) called for a workshop bringing together distinguished experts in entrepreneurship, who will share their knowledge and contribute to the development of a Nordic initiative on women entrepreneurship.
In a basic mortgage financing transaction, the lender makes a loan to the borrower, and the borrower grants to the lender a mortgage or deed of trust lien on the real property collateral and a security interest in the associated tangible and intangible personal property.
Sometimes and for a number of reasons, the lender is not willing to make its loan solely on the security of such real and personal property collateral and therefore requires that the borrower provide some kind of third party credit support for the loan. Two common forms of third party credit support in mortgage financing transactions are letters of credit and guaranties.
The implied volatility of an option is often regarded by academics and option market participants as the market’s forecast of future return volatility over the remaining life of the underlying security. In an efficient options market, implied volatility should reflect market expectations regarding future volatility. More specifically, implied volatility should incorporate all relevant information contained in the market information set in explaining future realized volatility. If not, option pricing theory predicts that arbitrage opportunities would arise and option prices would subsequently adjust until they reflected all available public information regarding future volatility.
