Book Synopsis The Analysis of Factors Influencing Leverage of Tanzanian Companies by : Lucky Yona
Download or read book The Analysis of Factors Influencing Leverage of Tanzanian Companies written by Lucky Yona and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-08-17 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dominant capital structure studies across the globe have been concentrated in developed countries and specifically for listed companies and few on unlisted companies or mixed companies. This thesis aims to examine the extent to which company liquidity, profitability, tangibility, and company size influence the leverage of Tanzanian companies as suggested by pecking order and trade-off theory. The study findings show a negative relationship between company liquidity and company leverage as measured by debt ratio and debt-to-equity ratio. These findings show the validity of the pecking order theory in Tanzania. The postulates of the trade-off theory as far as liquidity is concerned are not valid. The study findings also reveal a positive relationship between profitability and leverage, suggesting that majority of Tanzanian companies used more debts as the means of financing their business operations despite their profitability. The study also found that the tangibility of listed companies was higher than that of the unlisted companies and that there was a negative relationship between tangibility and leverage, which is valid to pecking order but contrary to trade-off theory. As far as company size is concerned, study findings suggest that pecking order theory (POT) and trade-off theory (TOT) relevance cannot be fully supported in Tanzanian companies as the findings have revealed a negative relationship between company size and leverage. Findings reveal a negative relationship between company size and leverage. Pecking order theory (POT) and trade-off theory (TOT) relevance cannot be fully supported in Tanzanian companies, and size of listed companies was higher than that of the unlisted companies. This suggests that the size of majority of Tanzanian unlisted companies is still small as compared to the listed companies.

Book Synopsis The COVID-19 Impact on Corporate Leverage and Financial Fragility by : Sharjil M. Haque
Download or read book The COVID-19 Impact on Corporate Leverage and Financial Fragility written by Sharjil M. Haque and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-11-05 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study the impact of the COVID-19 recession on capital structure of publicly listed U.S. firms. Our estimates suggest leverage (Net Debt/Asset) decreased by 5.3 percentage points from the pre-shock mean of 19.6 percent, while debt maturity increased moderately. This de-leveraging effect is stronger for firms exposed to significant rollover risk, while firms whose businesses were most vulnerable to social distancing did not reduce leverage. We rationalize our evidence through a structural model of firm value that shows lower expected growth rate and higher volatility of cash flows following COVID-19 reduced optimal levels of corporate leverage. Model-implied optimal leverage indicates firms which did not de-lever became over-leveraged. We find default probability deteriorates most in large, over-leveraged firms and those that were stressed pre-COVID. Additional stress tests predict value of these firms will be less than one standard deviation away from default if cash flows decline by 20 percent.

Book Synopsis Powering the Digital Economy: Opportunities and Risks of Artificial Intelligence in Finance by : El Bachir Boukherouaa
Download or read book Powering the Digital Economy: Opportunities and Risks of Artificial Intelligence in Finance written by El Bachir Boukherouaa and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-10-22 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses the impact of the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in the financial sector. It highlights the benefits these technologies bring in terms of financial deepening and efficiency, while raising concerns about its potential in widening the digital divide between advanced and developing economies. The paper advances the discussion on the impact of this technology by distilling and categorizing the unique risks that it could pose to the integrity and stability of the financial system, policy challenges, and potential regulatory approaches. The evolving nature of this technology and its application in finance means that the full extent of its strengths and weaknesses is yet to be fully understood. Given the risk of unexpected pitfalls, countries will need to strengthen prudential oversight.
Book Synopsis Investor Protection and Corporate Governance by : Alberto Chong
Download or read book Investor Protection and Corporate Governance written by Alberto Chong and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007-06-26 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Investor Protection and Corporate Governance' analyzes the impact of corporate governance on firm performance and valuation. Using unique datasets gathered at the firm-level the first such data in the region and results from a homogeneous corporate governance questionnaire, the book examines corporate governance characteristics, ownership structures, dividend policies, and performance measures. The book's analysis reveals the very high levels of ownership and voting rights concentrations and monolithic governance structures in the largest samples of Latin American companies up to now, and new data emphasize the importance of specific characteristics of the investor protection regimes in several Latin American countries. By and large, those firms with better governance measures across several dimensions are granted higher valuations and thus lower cost of capital. This title will be useful to researchers, policy makers, government officials, and other professionals involved in corporate governance, economic policy, and business finance, law, and management.

Book excerpt: Family-owned businesses account for many of the small and medium-sized enterprises that exist around the world in various industries.

The Research Anthology on Strategies for Maintaining Successful Family Firms discusses the strategies, sustainability, and human aspects of family firms in order to understand what sets them apart from other businesses and how they can survive and compete in a globalized economy. This book discusses the unique dynamic brought by family firms that offers both opportunities and challenges for a growing business. Covering topics such as corporate venturing, the family unit, and business ethics, this text is an essential resource for family firms, entrepreneurs, managers, business students, business professors, researchers, and academicians.
Book Synopsis Global Waves of Debt by : M. Ayhan Kose
Download or read book Global Waves of Debt written by M. Ayhan Kose and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2021-03-03 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global economy has experienced four waves of rapid debt accumulation over the past 50 years. The first three debt waves ended with financial crises in many emerging market and developing economies. During the current wave, which started in 2010, the increase in debt in these economies has already been larger, faster, and broader-based than in the previous three waves. Current low interest rates mitigate some of the risks associated with high debt. However, emerging market and developing economies are also confronted by weak growth prospects, mounting vulnerabilities, and elevated global risks. A menu of policy options is available to reduce the likelihood that the current debt wave will end in crisis and, if crises do take place, will alleviate their impact.
Book Synopsis State and Business in Tanzania's Development by : Samuel Mwita Wangwe
Download or read book State and Business in Tanzania's Development written by Samuel Mwita Wangwe and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-11-23 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is widely accepted that countries' institutions play a major role in their economic development. Yet, the way they affect, and are affected by, development, and how to reform them are still poorly understood. In this companion volume, State and Business in Tanzania diagnoses the main weaknesses, root causes, and developmental consequences of Tanzania's institutions, and shows that the uncertainty surrounding its development paths and its difficulty in truly 'taking off' are related to institutional challenges. Based on a thorough account of the economic, social, and political development of the country, this diagnostic offers evidence on the quality of its institutions and a detailed analysis of critical institution- and development-sensitive areas among which state-business relations rank high, even though the institutional features of land management, civil service and the power sector are shown to be also of prime importance. This title is also available as Open Access.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains the best practices and their respective outcomes in artificial intelligence (AI) to meet sustainable development goals and demands. It examines the practices, technologies, and innovations at the core of various research issues to meet the sustainable development demands in agriculture to balance social, economic, and environmental sustainability with AI. AI in Agriculture for Sustainable and Economic Management discusses AI-driven nanotechnology approaches for precision agriculture and solutions for the optimization of farming resources and their management. The authors examine the impact of AI in agriculture and how technology-driven sustainable farming with smart waste-water treatment for zero waste for the circular economy can extend crop shelf-life. It discusses how AI expertise can be advantageous to envisage and evaluate the increasing demands of productivity, and to help to maintain ecosystems and strengthen the capacity for crop adaptation in response to drastic changes in climate and weather, natural disasters, and other significant factors. These findings and practices are also useful to emphasize how an agricultural ecosystem can be advanced and industrialized so that it can aid not only large commercial farms but also smaller farmlands. Finally, it also discusses how AI practices will help to find a balance between the volume of food manufactured and the proper maintenance of the ecosystem. This book is intended for researchers and upper graduate students interested in artificial intelligence in agricultural engineering, AI advances in crop science and technology for sustainable development.
