Abstract:
This paper studies how critical entrepreneurial finance outcomes such as the investment return and equity division are shaped by venture characteristics, financier risk preferences, and competitive searching. Our analysis uses a double-hazard agency model in which financiers determine the equity division to maximize the expected utility of their investment return while entrepreneurs search for the best deal. Model results provide new theoretical insights on the venture funding cycle, the coexistence of angels/venture capitalists (VCs) with heterogeneous risk aversion, and risk separation in the entrepreneurial finance market. The model predicts that financiers with higher funding capacity and advisory capabilities (e.g., VC firms) will prefer to fund at later stages as their expected investment return rises with the venture’s initial value and financier productivity. Competitive searching by entrepreneurs enables financiers with a diverse set of risk preferences to coexist profitably by reducing the advantage (disadvantage) of lower (higher) risk aversion financiers and making investment returns more similar. Further, the model shows the emergence of a risk separation cutoff beyond which only angels/VCs with lower levels of risk aversion can profitably fund riskier ventures.

Abstract:
Saving Capitalism from the Capitalists is an ambitious probe into capitalism's past, present, and future. Whereas Joseph A. Schumpeter viewed capitalism as doomed because it was losing its political and social supports, Rajan and Zingales see it more as threatened from within by established or “incumbent” industrialists and financiers who become enemies of free markets. The authors contend that free financial markets foster economic progress while undermining the ability of incumbents to have their way. Rajan and Zingales may overstate the significance of “the great reversal” of financial development in the middle decades of the twentieth century, and their evidence and interpretations are sometimes flawed. Nonetheless, they make a strong case for the fundamental importance of financial development for economic modernization and their warnings about the antimarket tendencies of incumbents are well worth pondering.

Abstract:
This article argues that popular revolution was closely tied to the establishment of capitalism. Contrary to the revisionist George V. Taylor’s view that the Revolution had nothing to do with the advance of capitalism because financial and productive capital were divided from one another, this article contends that the Revolution played a critical role in tying them together. Prior to the Revolution financiers began to make limited investments in wholesale trade, manufacturing and mining. But during the revolutionary crisis the sans-culottes pushed the Jacobins to create a national money and to curb speculation in order to foster production and exchange and reduce unemployment. With speculative activity blocked by popular resistance and state interference, bankers and other capitalists increasingly turned to productive investments and forged a link between financial and productive capital which proved crucial to further capitalist accumulation.

Abstract:
Venture capitalists are investing their money in portfolio enterprises and hence are putting their capital at risk. As portfolio enterprises may pursue different objectives than those of their financiers, venture capitalists may perceive agency problems as an important risk factor. Venture capitalists can limit the scope of these risks by specifying the form of financing that they provide to portfolio enterprises and/or by inserting particular covenants in their financial contracts. This paper first briefly reviews the various contractual provisions that can be used to decrease the extent of venture capitalists’ exposure to agency problems. Next, the importance of various securities and covenants is examined in the context of South Africa, where the venture capital market is still relatively young, but growing. Overall, it is concluded that venture capitalists in South Africa limit their exposure to risk, but in a different manner than is typically done in the USA

Abstract:
Several sources have emphasized the importance of the entrepreneurial economy, and the role venture capitalists (VCs) plays as financiers. VCs are often actively and personally involved in their portfolio companies, but the cost of governance is high and they therefore have to select when to be active participants. Four different risks are identified in this paper: agency risk, business and market risk, coalition risk, and conformity risk. Weak support is found for the categories of agency and business and market risk. The data speak in favor of VCs getting more involved when the portfolio companies experience some kind of trouble. Their activity level increases when the portfolio companies have an inexperienced CEO, when the companies are in an early stage of their development, are young, have a weak board of directors, and/or a weak performance.

El proceso de financiarización económica ha sido definido como una etapa del sistema capitalista en la que las ganancias se persiguen vía canales financieros, y no, a través de los relacionados con la producción y distribución. Este proceso guarda estrecha relación con el notable desarrollo del sector financiero, producto de factores como el progreso tecnológico; la innovación financiera; y la globalización y liberalización de los mercados financieros. Sus efectos no se limitan al ámbito financiero, sino que también repercuten en el productivo, a nivel macro y microeconómico; por lo tanto, su comprensión teórica adquiere relevancia.

Abstract:
Entrepreneurship is the driver of growth. It helps creating innovative enterprises which provide foundation for building a nation's competitiveness. Enterprise creation needs risk capital. Venture capitalists provide risk capital and facilitate the development of entrepreneurship. There are several issues relating to entrepreneurship development and venture capital that deserve serious discussion. To put these issues into perspective, the Centre for Innovation, Incubation, and Entrepreneurship and Entre Club at IIMA organized a panel discussion which was coordinated by I M Pandey, Professor at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad. Some of the key questions that the panel has addressed to are: What is the contribution of entrepreneurship in the economic development of India? What factors have facilitated or hindered the development of entrepreneurship in India? What role has venture capital played in fostering the growth of entrepreneurship in India? What do entrepreneurs look for from venture capitalists other than the capital in the growth of their enterprises? What are the experiences of venture capitalists and entrepreneurs vis-a-vis the interface between venture capital and entrepreneurship? The following are some important points that emerged from the panel discussion: There is a direct link between entrepreneurship and the economic growth. There is some evidence that entrepreneurship has made contribution to India's growth. Factors responsible for the slow growth of entrepreneurship and lack of innovative spirit included the faulty education system, absence of proper incentives and environment to innovate, lack of proactive and favourable government policies, non-availability of risk capital, and the Indian mindset favouring comfortable and secured career choices. Entrepreneurship is a prerequisite for building our nation's global competitiveness. There is no short-cut. The liberalization of the Indian economy and the increased access to the global capital have paved way for entrepreneurship development and for facing international competition. The role of venture capital in fuelling the growth of entrepreneurship is inevitable. Venture capitalists need to play a proactive role. The Indian experience shows that venture capital is capable of creating a facilitating environment to build entrepreneurship culture and help entrepreneurship develop as a preferred career option. Venture capitalists should play the dual role of financiers and mentors. They should facilitate the networking of entrepreneurs with customers, distributors, financial institutions, consultants, etc. Efforts should be made by public and private sectors to create critical mass of venture capital funds, especially to finance start-ups and ventures of the first-time entrepreneurs. The education system in India should focus on developing entrepreneurship skills and risk-taking abilities of students.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on a central behavioral paradox in the asset management community. Recent decades have brought an upsurge in initiatives throughout the investment community to voluntarily integrate sustainability issues into investment decisions. The financial crisis has however revealed behavioral inconsistency and deepening irresponsibility. Today, sustainable investments represent USD 10.7 trillion, or 7% of the entire market, of assets under management and it is growing steadily.

One important driver of this growth was the emergence of specialized research agencies that standardized measurement of companies’ environment, social, and governance (ESG) performance and sold such information as a tool to evaluate or pressure corporate conducts. More recently, sell-side research, financial news, and market-index providers joined the ESG information market, where they aim to support more mainstream asset managers in integrating ESG information into investment decisions.

A dominant assumption has taken hold in a large part of the investment and regulatory circles: asset managers’ use of ESG information will induce a behavioral change so that they automatically integrate companies’ sustainability to investment return concerns. Understandings of what constitutes sustainable investment have been largely practitioner-driven. The academic community took little interest to challenge the assumption. Remarkably, more scholars have come to assume that conformance to institutional pressures to add ESG information to investment strategies will induce more sustainable and long-term behavior of investors and companies. ESG information integration is believed to be a behavioral enabler for mainstream investors to systematically embed sustainability in investment strategies. Because of the assumption, theory building of asset manager intrinsic motivations to engage in sustainable investment remains unexplored. Main contribution of this research is to generate a deep theoretical understanding of asset manager non-conformance to the ESG pressure to engage in sustainable investment.

The research starts by questioning the dominant assumptions made in the sustainable investment field. While working in the industry, I witnessed some asset managers’ practices of replacing the externally defined ESG information with their own research based on narratives to better understand investee companies. The research question came out of this experience: why do some asset managers use ESG information to engage in sustainable investment while others do not? Do pressures to integrate ESG information really induce more sustainable behaviors on the part of asset managers? These self-inquiries led to a wide array of literature review to search for conformance and non-conformance drivers. Surprisingly, non-conformance was an under-researched theme. Given the scarcity of the research, I sought a method that would enable grounded theorizing based on asset managers’ own experience and interpretations.

Grounded theory research draws on asset manager interviews, archival documents, expert and practitioner consultations and feedback during 2007 and mid-2011. To reflect the global nature of sustainability, I focused on global equity asset managers working in thirteen institutions in three lead markets with most geographically diversified sustainable investment, UK, the Netherlands and Belgium.

Theory building from the ground up does not happen in vacuum. I developed a framework to study conformance and non-conformance drivers to facilitate the concept elicitation. The question of conformance and non-conformance has been studied by institutional, resource-based view of the firm, behavioral finance, cognitive and sensemaking theorists but in a disintegrated manner. I enhanced insights by way of aggregating and exploring the drivers. The framework illuminates the viability of both conformers and non-conformers in sustainable investment practices. Both are leadership activities of asset managers based respectively on explicit and implicit motivations. It illustrates short-term and opportunistic motivations of conforming managers, as opposed to long-term and substantial motivations of non-conforming managers to integrate sustainability and return-making in their investment decisions.

The research results presented hereafter provide a significant theoretical and empirical contribution. Drawing from insights and perspectives from the practitioners, a grounded theory model of asset manager conformance and non-conformance highlights a pivotal concept of sensemaking capacities. It reveals a counter intuitive pattern of asset manager learning. Non-conforming asset managers have developed a distinctive capacity to integrate sustainability and investment return concerns regardless of public pressures to do so. This distinctive sensemaking capacity, founded on behavioral integration of external expectations with own motivation, goal, competence and know-how, was the strategic resource for the organization. Their behavioral integration of sustainability and return generation is so highly developed, that adding the ESG information in their investment strategy would actually impair their capacity to make sense of sustainability. Indeed, I find that non-conforming asset manager teams have sustained consistent returns and increased client assets throughout the financial crisis. In absence of such behavioral integration and sensemaking capacities, conforming managers failed to sustain consistency or suffered from under-funding. To stay competitive, the latter managers have fervently demonstrated the ESG information use in their investment strategies. However, such explicit demonstration of leadership has not been accompanied by distinctive sensemaking capacities. I find that conforming managers were less capable of integrating sustainability and return-generation, which subsequently reinforced their short-termism and opportunism.

The finding of this thesis points to the importance of ‘behavioral integration’ instead of ‘explicit conformance’ of asset managers. The academic community may need to shed a more critical eye on ESG integration by asset managers. Institutional pressures to adopt such information may not induce more sustainable behavior, as ESG know-how is likely to deprive a chance to develop distinctive sensemaking capacities. Furthermore, it may even hurt the sensemaking capacities of managers who have behaviorally integrated sustainability and return-generation. While I hope to trigger a re-think amongst academics how to promote sustainable investment, my findings has theoretical and empirical contributions. The most important theoretical contribution is identification of non-conformance variables to engage intrinsically in sustainable investment. Empirical evidence on non-conformers, corroborated with resource-based view of the firm, also enhances the understanding of non-conformers’ motivation to sustain competitive advantage.

Findings also lead to managerial and policy implications. I carried out this research in the midst of the financial crisis, a time of mounting European policy debates how to build investor capacity to induce long-term and sustainable behaviors. The European Commission’s Internal Market Directorate-General is set to publish a directive proposal that mandate ESG information disclosure to companies and ESG reporting by investors. This adds weight to already published procedural measures to strengthen corporate governance at financial institutions. These policy initiatives emerged largely because of expert consultation and anecdotal evidences. In addition to recommendations to specific pieces of legislative proposals, this research makes an overarching policy proposal. The EU Commission needs to reexamine if the current policy measures lead to further symbolic demonstrations of ESG usage without accompanying sustainable behavior at the cost of real economy. EU equally needs to pay more attention to non-conforming asset managers’ distinctive capacities and enabling mechanisms. Reporting burdens may inadvertently impair non-conforming managers’ capacities to sustain long-term performance and may induce a contradictory policy consequence of increased public distrust.

Abstract:
Using a random sample of transactions data from the time period of September 1, 1978 through August 31, 1985, the high end-of-day transaction returns noted by Wood, Mclnish and Ord and by Harris were examined to determine their persistence over time and their relationship to a commonly used measure of daily security performance. Additionally, final transactions were classified by type of price change-reversal or continuation-in order to document whether the high end-of-day returns are the result of security price appreciation or the result of increases in transactions at the ask price. New information provided by this study can be summarized as follows: 1. The end-of-day anomaly persisted over the time period of the study and appeared to be strongest in the last three years. 2. A Friday effect was found in that the mean return to the final transaction on Friday was at least as great or greater than the mean final transaction returns on the other days of the week. 3. A relationship was found to exist between CRSP excess return level (good day/bad day) and the final transaction return, and there was evidence that the final transaction may have had a large impact on the CRSP excess return. 4. Reversals are more frequent than continuations on the final trade, particularly after 3:56pm, and the mean return to reversals is greater than the mean return to continuations.

Abstract:
Systematic mispricing by the state-of-the-art option pricing models is a paradox in financial economics as both the magnitude and direction of the mispricing is debated. The models have been found to overprice out-of-the-money and deep-in-the-money call options while underpricing in-the-money and deep-out-of-the-money calls. In addition, research has shown these biases have different signs in different time periods. We propose that when investors maximize expected utility for Friedman-Savage-Markowitz utility functions, the option mispricing observed in the market will result. The theories and empirical tests in the literature of higher-order utility functions and risk-neutral valuation (RNV) in the options market are presented. Though investor attitudes towards risk are irrelevant in the non-arbitrage world of modern option pricing, to the extent the options market does not meet the non-arbitrage conditions, investor risk preferences will affect the pricing of options. Risk-loving traders will bid up market prices relative to risk-neutral model prices; risk-averse traders will bid down prices. And investor risk preferences can, and do, change over time as market conditions change. New tests are run to analyze the relationship between mispricing biases and investor preferences before and after the historic stock market crash of October 19, 1987. We find mispricing biases which imply a decreased risk aversion on the part of investors in the IBM call option markets for the period prior to the market crash and mispricing biases which imply an increased risk-averse (and decreased risk-loving) behavior in those markets following the crash. Similar analyses are also performed in the Microsoft call options markets with less conclusive results.

Abstract:
The fourth chapter analyzes the top tier of an ethnic network that brought credit from global financiers to the merchants and farmers of the Gulf South. Through the lens of Lehman Brothers, this chapter explores how networks carried global investment to the Gulf South. This occurred in an era where business transactions were based on trust, which was often fostered by shared ethnicity—largely confining Jewish and non-Jewish networks to separate spheres. Lehman Brothers, for example, worked closely with Jewish-owned banking houses such as Lazard Frères, J. W. Seligman & Co., and Kuhn, Loeb & Co., in much the same way that Anglo-American banks such as J. P. Morgan & Co. cultivated networks with other non-Jewish businesses. Utilizing these ethnic networks, Lehman Brothers brought international investment to America, and continuing to rely on ethnicity to build trust, the firm loaned money to scores of cotton businesses in the Gulf South, many of which were also operated by Jews. With access to this credit via ethnic networks, these businesses could survive downturns in the economy and thrive in the postbellum milieu.

Abstract:
The fifth chapter analyzes the bottom tier of an ethnic network that brought credit from global financiers to the merchants and farmers of the Gulf South, exploring how the Southern firms with which Lehman Brothers worked dispersed this global investment throughout local economies. In some instances, Lehman Brothers’ customers sold directly to rural farmers and plantation owners, providing them with the credit necessary to purchase farming needs, foodstuffs, and personal goods. But in other instances, firms with which Lehman Brothers worked extended credit to smaller shopkeepers, who could then stock their own shelves at the start of the season, sell goods to their customers on credit, and, if all went well, be repaid by their customers after the harvest. For these smaller businesses, this line of credit was the difference between success and failure, particularly when the vicissitudes of the economy necessitated leniency from creditors. While this leniency was risky for lenders, trust-based economic networks mitigated risk. In this way, Jewish merchants created an ethnic niche in the cotton industry, securing global investment, funneling it to the South, and dispersing it throughout local economies.

Abstract Too often, globalization is imagined as a conspiracy concocted by high-flying capitalists and power-hungry financiers who surgically targeted the world’s cheapest sources of labor. This chapter argues that in Massachusetts, such a story must be flipped on its head. While manufacturers clung to protectionism and economic insularity, it was Massachusetts’s workers, immigrants, and budding global labor unions that sought to enthrone free migration, free capital mobility, and free trade as the linchpins of a peaceful and stable global economy. Midcentury unions are typically characterized as insular and provincial, but the opposite was true. Workers were not “shocked” by the globalization of American capitalism. Workers forged globalization from the ground up.

Abstract Despite the persistent mythology on the critical role the so-called Boston Associates and the “Lowell mills” played in the industrialization of America, these early mills were terribly constrained enterprises. With Massachusetts’s agricultural and mercantile economies still relatively robust—making capital scarce and labor itself a pricey commodity—early mills underperformed compared to their British counterparts. Worse yet, after the Civil War, capitalists and financiers, tempted away by new (and more profitable) opportunities in the American West, rapidly abandoned the state’s textile mills, leaving these early industrial cities to stagnate. This chapter shows how Massachusetts’s early attempts at industrialization failed precisely because the state was too prosperous to maintain either adequate reserves of industrial capital or a labor force cheap enough to sustain mass production.

Abstract:
Efforts to undermine Detroit turned on encouraging new land uses. This chapter explores how a diverse range of actors—from activists to planners, financiers, and foundations—began to herald postindustrial Detroit for its agrarian potential. It tells the story of financier John Hantz's controversial proposal to build the world's largest urban forest in the center of the city. It contrasts the aspirations of Hantz Farms with those of a Black radical farming project called Feedom Freedom, which exemplifies a broader movement in Detroit to respond to late capitalism and political abandonment by establishing community infrastructures and institutions that support Black life.

Abstract:
For the longest time, roughly from the 16th century, with the establishment of capitalism around the world, people have been working towards ways of ensuring their survival by accumulating assets and money. Capitalism is a system predominated by private ownership and the constant quest for profit and the accumulation of wealth. Despite being conceived as an economic system model, it influences political, social, cultural, ethical and many other spheres, encompassing our affecting our entire nation. With the onset of globalization over the past 50 years, the capitalist system has become the predominant system throughout the world and effects all beings in one way or another. In an effort to generate wealth, many factors influence decisions made within the world of finances, and ignorance of the theme is no longer an option. Financial education is an important discipline in providing citizens the opportunity to exercise their rights and duties within the financial world, allowing for more accurate decision-making. Financial citizenship entails an individual’s ability to make the right choices, exercising their rights and fulfilling the associated duties. It is a concept taken from the term citizenship.

Abstract:
Las periferias metropolitanas, como expresión espacial del desarrollo del capitalismo industrial y financiero durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX, se han configurado en torno a patrones simplificados de producción inmobiliaria, rompiendo con la variedad atribuida a la ciudad tradicional. El presente trabajo analiza tres municipios del Área Metropolitana de Madrid en torno a tres categorías: condición socioeconómica, soporte residencial y usos comerciales. Las tres clasificaciones se relacionan entre sí, identificando los patrones de producción urbana en la periferia metropolitana, su distribución espacial y su evolución histórica. El nivel de complejidad de los entornos se establece a partir del grado de variedad, entendida como la diversidad de rentas y tipologías residenciales y la suficiente dotación de locales comerciales. Esta investigación pretende aportar herramientas para el análisis de los municipios metropolitanos y su capacidad o no de adaptarse a posibles nuevas circunstancias sociales, económicas y ecológicas en los próximos años. The metropolitan peripheries, as the spatial expression of the industrial and financial capitalism during the second half of 20th century, have been built according to simplified patterns of real-estate urban production. These patterns have caused the loss of the urban variety attributed to the traditional city. This work analyses three peripheral towns in Madrid Metropolitan Area according to three categories: socio-economic, residential support, and commercial uses. We have related the results in these three classifications in order to identify the patterns of urban production in the metropolitan periphery, their spatial layout, and their historical evolution. We have evaluated the urban complexity according to the degree of variety, which we understand as incomes and dwelling typologies diversity, and enough presence of commercial stores. This research provides analysis tools for the analysis of Metropolitan towns and their ability to adjust to new social, economic and ecological circumstances in the next years.

Abstract:
En las últimas dos décadas, la atención a lo geográfico se ha manifestado de forma exponencial en el ámbito de la investigación artística hasta el punto de formalizarse en una nueva perspectiva definida como ‘el giro geográfico’. Aludiendo a un conjunto de prácticas esencialmente diversas, el giro geográfico también implica un desplazamiento especialmente ambivalente cuando toca ámbitos antes cooptados por el concepto ‘paisaje’. Si la concepción clásica de paisaje, entendido como constructo cultural, trae consigo una pesada carga sociocultural pues durante siglos sus representaciones contribuyeron en naturalizar las desigualdades borrando los rastros de los procesos históricos que dieron forma al territorio, un lento y progresivo proceso parece haber escorado en dirección opuesta los intereses de muchos artistas. De la idea de paisaje como imagen, es decir, de una idea normativa de paisaje como aquello a lo que el territorio se parece o debería parecerse idealmente, estamos pasando a una idea de territorio como espejo y síntoma de una transformación continua, incierta, entrópica que nos afecta a todos. Atendiendo a la necesidad de establecer un mapa de circunstancias que nos ayude a pensar en aquello que traza a nivel investigativo esta creciente recurrencia a lo geográfico, tanto visual como teóricamente, en esta comunicación articularemos algunas consideraciones respecto a los marcos epistemológicos que pone en juego la perspectiva abierta por el giro geográfico en relación a las prácticas fotográficas que han abordado la reflexión entorno al territorio. Si la representación paisajística clásica logró escabullirse del rechazo de las vanguardias históricas gracias a la tangente ofrecida por la fotografía y su forma de mostrar las radicales transformaciones del territorio a partir de la segunda guerra mundial, en el siglo XXI, los desastres provocados por las políticas neoliberales han atraído la atención hacia la interdependencia de acontecimientos simultáneos en espacios geográficamente distantes. Sin embargo, esta nueva tesitura plantea no pocos desafíos a la práctica fotográfica. En esta comunicación nos centraremos en dos de ellos. De una parte, el reto que supone lidiar fotográficamente con un agenciamiento de la territorialidad cada vez más complejo y violento, no solo por el alcance transnacional de las empresas que operan a nivel global sino por los propios mecanismos de funcionamiento de desterritorialización y reterorrialización. De otra parte, el desafío que acompaña la confrontación critica de aquello que la fotografía puede finalmente ‘representar’, de cómo lidia con ‘lo representativo’, siguiendo en este punto la nueva ontología de la fotografía propuesta por Ariella Azoulay. Podríamos resumir ambos aspectos de esta forma: la invisibilidad de la soberanía con la que opera el capitalismo global (como se mueven los hilos de los tratados internacionales en cuanto a los mercados financieros, legislación mercantil, sistemas de cultivo, transporte, trabajo o la creciente privatización de recursos) es inversamente proporcional a la visibilidad de sus consecuencias territoriales, sociales y medioambientales. La polaridad es explícita pero muy compleja. Frente a la abstracción que caracteriza el capitalismo, ¿qué posibilita la rotación ofrecida por el giro geográfico? ¿Cómo afecta a las prácticas fotográficas? ¿Qué desplazamientos supone respecto a una cultura paisajística? Dicho en otras palabras, ¿Qué aspectos arrastra esta transición del paisaje al territorio? En esta comunicación proponemos reflexionar entorno a estas interrogaciones a la luz de algunos casos de estudio especialmente idóneos para ahondar en los procesos de reconceptualización de lo geográfico.

Abstract:
We develop a theoretical framework for corporate ventures where corporations' know-how gives them an advantage over regular financiers in identifying profitable projects. Corporations and venture capitalists compete to fund entrepreneurs in an environment featuring risk, adverse selection, and limited liability. The expected surplus of each project is independent of the financier and the efficient scale of each project differs among entrepreneurs. We characterize the optimal financial contracts arising in equilibrium and use this characterization to explore the effect corporations' knowledge has in this environment. We show that the presence of corporations in the financial market could be detrimental to welfare when corporations' selection advantage is small. When large, corporate venture capitalists' knowledge reduces the extensive margin inefficiency arising from adverse selection, meaning less socially inefficient projects are enacted. We also show that increasing the depth or breadth of corporations' knowledge leads to higher aggregate gains.
