Financing drug development has a particular set of challenges including long development times, high chance of failure, significant market valuation uncertainty, and high costs of development. The earliest stages of translational research pose the greatest risks, which have been termed the "valley of death" as a result of a lack of funding. This thesis focuses on an exploration of financial engineering techniques aimed at addressing these concerns. Despite the recent financial crisis, many suggest that securitization is an appropriate tool for financing such large social challenges. Although securitization has been demonstrated effectively at later stages of drug development for drug royalties of approved drugs, it has yet to be utilized at earlier stages. This thesis starts by extending the model of drug development proposed by Fernandez et al. (2012). These extensions significantly influence the resulting performance and optimal securitization structures. Budget-constrained venture firms targeting high financial returns are incentivized to fund only the best projects, thereby potentially stranding less-attractive projects. Instead, such projects have the potential to be combined in larger portfolios through techniques such as securitization which reduce the cost of capital. In addition to modeling extensions, we provide examples of a model calibrated to orphan drugs, which we argue are particularly suited to financial engineering techniques. Using this model, we highlight the impact of our extensions on financial performance and compare with previously published results. We then illustrate the impact of incorporating a credit enhancement or guarantee, which allows for added flexibility of the capital structure and therefore greater access to lower costing capital. As an alternative to securitization, we provide some examples of a structured equity approach, which may allow for increased access to or efficiency of capital by matching investor objectives. Finally, we provide examples of optimizing the Sortino ratio through constrained Bayesian optimization.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe aim of this report is to assess the main possibilities of business development in Siemens Global Shared Services Delivery Center Portugal. The report exploits the growth alternatives of existing and new services to current clients. It is concluded that the center will need to take different initiatives to answer the diverse possibilities to move services to the center. It will need to evaluate the trade-off between effort and return, to demonstrate outstanding results and selling skills to convince potential clients, to start almost from scratch new business lines and to enrich the center with resources, capabilities and expertise to enable the execution of a new range of services. Even though there is still a long and winding road ahead, the center will maintain in the road to success.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThis study covers a research about how a micro-grid have performed, and in this specific case at Ihushi Development Center in Tanzania. The Measurements that have been made, have followed a standard to be able to be used as a universal data for future studies or just directly be comparable to other micro-grids with a similar rig and conditions. During the study, a new model have been created to easily analyze the raw data and perform the necessary calculations, which also is of high value in coming work on this micro-grid. There have also been some simulations done due to the vast amount of errors that have been both scattered and continuously appearing, this had to be taken care of and the values needed have been extracted and estimated from other sources and methods. Efficiencies and performances have been calculated for different parts of the system and have been commented so they can in a fair way be used for an evaluation or a future study. These results have partially been compared with the previous evaluations, but due to missing data in the previous report, a complete comparison and conclusion have not been possible.

The proposed expansion of the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center was approved by the Massachusetts legislature in 2009. In 2010, the governor put the expansion on hold citing an overstated economic impact. Proponents argue that expanding the convention center will lead to increased occupancy and significant economic benefits. But do the benefits outweigh the costs? The first part of this thesis provides an overview of the convention center market in the US as well as two case studies of convention centers that have undergone expansions. The second part closely examines the history and performance of the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center using data from the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority along with data from various other sources to project realistic economic costs and benefits of the expansion as currently proposed.

Universities within the Unites States have long been active in the real estate development market surrounding their respective campuses. However, beginning with the baby boom in the late 1950s, colleges have begun expanding their campuses at ever increasing rates to account for the influx of new students. In order to accommodate this increased need for campus expansion, universities have begun to look increasingly to private development firms as a means to facilitate the development of university real estate product. As these development partnerships between the institution and the private sector become more widespread, in what ways can private firms provide a benefit to the university by building facilities that utilize private market efficiencies of design and construction. The question will be answered by studying three cases of university - private sector development: Harvard University, The University of Pennsylvania, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. By focusing on two types of real estate product in particular, student housing and laboratory space, the case studies will compare product developed privately for each university to product developed by the university's internal facilities department. Financial, construction, and design metrics of privately and university developed products will be compared and contrasted to determine where and how private, market influence might provide the university with an advantage in developing real estate.

Knowledge-based industries tend to cluster. The nature of activities illustrate the importance of networks and virtual and proximity aspects of clustering. Review of existing literature brings out the advantages of clustering for such industries. The purpose of the study is to comprehend the current status of development, both economic and real estate, in the knowledge-based industries in India. A stylized model is used as a reference to understand the status of economic development. Current body of literature and interview results from this study suggests transitioning nature of India's knowledge-based industry from being a services provider to becoming a knowledge provider. However, there are challenges in the transition process related to infrastructure and human resource. This study suggests that a large scale mixed use project may in fact be able to address some of the ongoing issues in the economic domain. The proposed development may lead to clustering of business and universities thus, giving rise to a knowledge-based cluster in India.

The lifestyle center, a recently emerged real estate retail product, is the culmination of shifts in cultural attitudes, real estate economic trends, and changes in the role of local government on the development of built space in the suburban landscape. In the latter half of the 20"' Century, the view of suburbia as the antithesis of urbanity, centerless sprawl devoid of the city's redeeming civic and community features, gained currency. Built to resemble early 20th Century main streets or town squares, lifestyle centers offer a counterpoint to the disaggregating effects of suburbanization wrought over the past half century. But, do they represent a true return to small town ways of living? Are they a viable model for giving a physical focus to suburbia This thesis gauges the performance of lifestyle centers relative to standards set by traditional main streets or town squares. Issues of publicness, mix of use, physical configuration, and community perception are taken into account. Regarding these measures, lifestyle centers are partially successful in creating a physical center and community in the perceived disorder of suburbia. However, the lifestyle center does not fully achieve the goal in the sense that it remains relatively exclusive and narrowly focused. Although derided as Disney-esque environments that thinly disguise their goal of encouraging consumption, the lifestyle center represents a shift in thinking, one that begins to take into account the role of retail in the physical and social fabric of society That shift, although incomplete, is a positive step towards improving the quality of the urban landscape in the United States.

Shopping Centre is an urban facility which that is becoming very important in the cities landscape, during these last forty years in Brazil. Their number has increase significantly and they occupy large parts of the territory and concentrate different activities. This work analyses the impacts of the implementation of shopping centers, in three different ways: the territorial impacts, studying the transformations in the urban tissue relating to the need of road system adaptations for access; and the changes of land use in order to generate densification and gentrification; the social impacts, analyzing the shopping center contribution to the population that although of private character can be used in a public space for leisure and recreation, with quality and safety. Combining commerce and services it offers many possibilities for the daily tasks of the population, as well as it generates employments; the environmental impacts related to the air quality, the solid wastes produced and the noise level. It considers how these aspects can be minimized and which solutions can be transformed into benefits. The identification and analysis of these impacts in the case studies selected, located in Campinas in the hinterland of the State of São Paulo the Iguatemi Shopping, the Galleria Shopping and the Parque Dom Pedro Shopping the intention is to understand the positive impacts and to understand how the urban policy contributes to better urban areas.
O Shopping Center, é um equipamento urbano que tem mostrado expressividade na paisagem das cidades, nesses quarenta anos de sua existência no Brasil, pois além de ter aumentado significativamente seu número, ocupa grandes extensões no território e concentra diferentes atividades. Esse trabalho analisa os impactos resultantes da implantação dos shopping centers, onde se destacam: os impactos territoriais, estudando-se as transformações que ocorrem no espaço físico: quanto à necessidades de adaptações do sistema viário para seu acesso; a sua característica de mudar o uso do solo, e gerar adensamento e gentrificação; os impactos sociais, analisando sua contribuição à população em oferecer um espaço, que embora de caráter privado pode ser utilizado como espaço público de convívio e lazer, com qualidade e segurança. Sua contribuição ao reunir comércio e serviços, agilizando as tarefas diárias da população. E ainda a sua capacidade em gerar empregos; os impactos ambientais, identificando quais são esses impactos em relação à qualidade do ar atmosférico, ao despejo de resíduos e a dispersão de ruídos. Observando-se como eles podem ser reduzidos e como as soluções utilizadas podem ser transformadas em benefícios. Com a identificação e análise desses impactos, aplicados nos estudos de caso escolhidos, que são os shopping centers localizados em Campinas no estado de São Paulo - Shopping Iguatemi, Galleria Shopping e Parque Dom Pedro Shopping - pretende-se identificar os impactos positivos e entender como o poder público contribui para se obter melhor qualidade do meio ambiente urbano.

This thesis investigates the factors, related to urban stadium development, that act as a catalyst for subsequent local urban renewal. Over the recent decades there has been substantial debate related to stadium or arena development. "The stadium debate intersects with cultural studies, economics, law, urban studies, civic planning, sports administration, mass communications, and sociology."' The center of this debate is over the economic and social "net benefit" to a city that undertakes a stadium development. Many argue that the economic and social costs created by urban stadium development outweigh the public good, especially in the case of publicly funded or subsidized stadiums. This thesis concentrates on the renewal of the surrounding real estate markets rather than broader economic renewal. When this thesis refers to "urban renewal" it is meant in the context of the renewal of the physical infrastructure and real property. The thesis examines the range of costs and benefits resulting from stadium induced urban real estate renewal. The benefits analyzed are derived from the changes in the local real estate markets that may be connected to the arena or stadium construction. The subject case study illustrates some of the broader economic benefits related to urban real estate renewal. Washington, DC provides a recent example of urban arena development that led to significant local investment in the development of the surrounding area. Construction of the Verizon Center led to development of residential, office, and retail product in the immediate area. The case study explores the factors (specific to the site, team owners, local developers, and city officials) that create a fertile environment for urban real estate renewal.
(cont.) It also ascertains, by way of interviews and public record, the concerns of these parties while making the critical decisions that can spark this type of urban rebirth. Using the Verizon Center case study, this thesis examines the factors that had a positive impact on urban renewal.
