Ebook Remittances, Exchange Rate Regimes and the Dutch Disease: A Panel Data Analysis

Submitted by puput on Tue, 12/28/2010 - 08:39

International migrant remittances have increased significantly over the last two decades. Remittances received by developing countries, estimated at $338 billion in 2008, increased by 263% compared with 2001 figures, and currently represent nearly 1.9% of total income in emerging economies (Ratha et al, 2009). Remittances are becoming increasingly important as a source of foreign income in terms of both magnitude and growth rate, exceeding the inflow of foreign aid and private capital in many countries. They currently represent about one-third of total financial flows to the developing world.

Ebook Short sales, price pressure, and the stock price response to convertible bond calls

Submitted by puput on Thu, 06/02/2011 - 02:40

The announcement of an in-the-money convertible bond call is ass ociated with an a verage con temporaneous abnormal stock price decline of 1.75% and an ensuing price recovery in the conversion period. This paper argues and provides evidence that the decline in stock prices is due to investors short selling of the underlying stock at or around the call announcement. Two types of investors have incentives to hedge their equity exposure by short selling at the time of the call. First, the convertible hedge desks of investment banks try to lock in arbitrage protsby buying the called convertible bond and short selling the underlying stock. Short selling is used to hedge the equity risk of the convertible bond because the option to convert is not exercised immediately. Second, a possible underwriter of the call also short sells in order to hedge the equity risk associated with the call. The short selling of stock by these two types of investors, at least in part, causes the short-run price pressure.

Ebook Credit crunched? Support for business start-ups in London

Submitted by wulan on Tue, 08/11/2009 - 04:00

The London economy, like that of the rest of the UK’s, remains “mired in recession”. Unemployment in London in March 2009 was four per cent and had increased by more than 50 per cent over the previous 12 months. Other indicators of economic performance are also declining such as the levels of business activity and new orders. Business confidence is low and Londoners are tightening their belts to weather the economic storm.

In this environment it can, at first sight, seem counter-intuitive to examine the support available for people wanting to set up their own businesses in the capital. But London’s economy is heavily reliant on the rate of business start-ups. Existing small and micro businesses make up more than 90 per cent of all businesses in the capital providing jobs for nearly two million people. Many of these will inevitably fail in the current economic climate. London’s recovery will therefore depend to a large extent on these businesses being replaced with new ones. Amid the economic gloom there are some signs that the rate at which the economy is contracting is slowing down and attention is now inevitably turning to the measures necessary to help London out of recession.
