Abstract:
Abstract Many investment arbitrations have arisen out of investments financed through aid resources. Yet, the legal framework governing aid disbursements remains mostly unexplored in investment awards and in the literature on international investment law. This article is an initial attempt at identifying the interactions between these two legal orders. It finds that 1) multilateral and bilateral aid institutions are not perfect third parties to the investor-State relationship; rather, they influence the content of investment contracts, supervise contract implementation and have a role to play in dispute prevention and resolution; 2) uncertainties surround the jurisdiction of investment tribunals over aid-financed ‘investments’; 3) development institutions may participate as disputing and non-disputing parties in the arbitrations arising out of aid-financed projects. More broadly, the article suggests that the increasing trend of leveraging aid to incentivize private investments warrants an integrated and hence more realistic approach to the different development finance flows.

Abstract:
In the context of China's economic transformation and rapid technological advancement, based on the implementation of the "Pilot Policy for Promoting the Integration of Technology and Finance", this paper constructs a panel data of prefecture-level cities in China from 2005 to 2017, and examines the impact and mechanism of science and technology financel policy on the corporate Investment efficiency by using the DID method. The DID method is used to investigate the impact and mechanism of technology financel policy on the corporate Investment efficiency. It is found that the science and technology financel policy significantly improves the corporate Investment efficiency, and this conclusion remains valid after a series of robustness tests such as the parallel trend test, the placebo test, and the Propensity Score Matching-Difference in Differences (PSM-DID) analyses. Further mechanism analysis in this paper reveals that the science and technology finance policy mainly enhances the corporate Investment efficiency by alleviating the corporate financing constraints, promoting the digital transformation of enterprises, and increasing the capitalized R&D investment of enterprises. In addition, the effect of the implementation of science and technology finance policy has a certain degree of heterogeneity, and this policy has a more significant impact on the improvement of investment efficiency of non-state-owned enterprises and large enterprises. This paper delves into the impact of technology finance on the investment behavior of micro-enterprises, providing theoretical support and empirical guidance for the advancement of science and technology finance practices and high-quality economic development.

Abstract:
Drastic changes in the financial services market under the influence of digitalization determine the relevance of research of the modern structure of this market, taking into account the emergence and development of the FinTech innovations. The increase in new investment instruments is attracting the attention of an increasing number of individual investors in the digital finance industry. Considering these tools, the preferences of individual investors require a separate study. The article is aimed at studying the financial market in digital finance and analyzing such types of investments as cryptocurrencies and crowdfunding, as well as the characterizing the online brokerage as a way to obtain investment services among individual investors. As a result of the study, the place and role of cryptocurrencies, crowdfunding and online brokerage in the investment activities of individuals is substantiated; the main mechanisms of work of these financial instruments are allocated and features of their development in Ukraine are characterized. The main disadvantages and advantages of crowdfunding and cryptocurrencies are defined and further steps are proposed regarding the prospects for their development in Ukraine. In addition, the article analyzes the current state of functioning of the online brokerage service in Ukraine and proves the relevance of the allocation of these financial instruments at the legislative level. Prospects for further research in this direction are the analysis of other digital instruments of personal investments, as well as a detailed study of the specifics of functioning of crowdfunding, cryptocurrencies and online brokerage in Ukraine. For the more efficient functioning of investment instruments in the sphere of digital finance, as well as effective use in practical activities, it becomes necessary to closer define these concepts at the legislative level and to substantiate the specifics of their work in detail.

Abstract:
Abstract With its judgement on the federal budget, the German Federal Constitutional Court has thrown the government’s financial planning into disarray. Important public investments are at stake, as the debt brake sets tight limits for the treasury and debt-financed shadow budgets. But the green transition requires public investment as the time horizons are short and the investment risk for technologies and international competition is high. A transformation and infrastructure fund (TIF) anchored in the constitution, combined with planning accelerations should be established in order to finance government investments while at the same time leaving the debt brake in the core budget untouched.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a real asset management investment appraisal of the performance of containerships as a primary segment within international shipping, to facilitate Islamic equity investment through a shipping fund. The objectives are to evaluate the risks and returns of shipping under the framework of Islamic equity finance, and to analyze the performance of investing in containerships over the long term, to appeal to retail and institutional clients of Malaysian asset management institutions. Design/methodology/approach Accordingly, the methodology adopts an investment analysis of a full population of historical data over a period of 20 years, to evaluate performance involving a maritime return on investment (MROI), internal rate of return (IRR), net yield and standard deviation measures of risk and return. Findings The findings reveal that while earnings are volatile in comparison to capital market expectations, unlevered, tax-free returns on containership investments outperform financial and other real assets. Research limitations/implications Shipping is a strong growth industry with about 84 per cent of global trade carried out by the international shipping industry. The problem is that many Islamic asset management institutions and investors have essentially no exposure to Islamic investment in international shipping. Practical implications However, shipping is a highly capital-intensive industry, and currently 75 per cent of ship lending has been conducted by European banks and financed on a conventional basis. Post-financial crisis, ship owners, ship lenders and shipyards have all been exposed to the impact of over-levered balance sheets and debt finance. There is a demand for alternative sources of finance. Social implications By communicating risk and reward more effectively, retail and institutional investors, as well as Islamic finance institutions, will realize that the social benefit of equity finance on the basis of profit sharing is more efficient at allocating investible resources than debt finance at interest, thereby increasing investment and economic growth. Originality/value The significance is that Islamic equity finance, rather than debt at the time-value of money, should enhance the development of international shipping.

Ahmed, Mohamed Ahmed Shaker. "Essays in behavioural finance and investment." Thesis, Brunel University, 2017. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/14882.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is an attempt to bridge some research gaps in the area of behavioural finance and investment through adopting the three essays scheme of PhD dissertations. There is a widespread belief that the traditional finance theory failed to provide a sufficient and plausible explanation for (1) what motivates individual investors to trade, (2) the pattern of their trading and the formation of their portfolios, (3) the determinants of cross section of expected returns other than risk. Behavioural Finance, however, offers more realistic assumptions based on two building blocks; behavioural biases of irrational investors and the limits of arbitrage that prevent the arbitrageurs from correcting mispricing and pushing prices back to fundamental values. This dissertation is structured as follows: In the first essay, the disposition effect is defined as the propensity of investors to realize gains too early while being loath to realize losses. Capital gains overhang is a measure of unrealized capital gains and losses that is associated with the disposition effect and the trading activities of behaviourally biased investors. We discover that firm characteristics can play a role in explaining variations in the capital gains overhang that is consistent with the activities of behaviourally biased and disposition investors. Specifically, we find that capital gains overhang is increasing in firm attributes that attract behaviourally biased investors, namely, earnings per share, leverage, growth and size. Capital gains overhang is also declining in market liquidity, possibly because liquidity allows behaviourally biased investors to excessively trade shares and beta and corporate earnings, probably because when high risk and inefficient firms experience losses, disposition investors experience capital losses that they are reluctant to realize. In the second essay, quantile regressions are employed to analyse the relationship between the unrealized capital gains overhang and expected returns. The ability of the disposition effect to generate momentum is also considered for the extreme expected return regions (0.05th) and (0.95th) quantiles. To do so, 450,617 observations belonging to 5176 US firms are employed, covering a time span from January 1998 to June 2015. Following the methodology of Grinblatt and Han (2005), the findings show significant differences across various quantiles in terms of signs and magnitudes. These findings indicate a nonlinear relationship between capital gains overhang and expected returns since the impact of capital gains overhang as a proxy for disposition effect on expected returns vary across the expected return distribution. More precisely, the coefficients of capital gains overhang are significantly positive and decline as the expected returns quantiles increase from the lowest to the median expected return quantiles. However, they become significantly negative and rise with the increase in expected returns quantiles above median expected returns quantiles. The findings also suggest that the disposition effect is not a good noisy proxy for momentum at the lowest expected return quantile (0.05th). However, interestingly it seems to generate contrarian in returns at the highest expected returns quantile (0.95th). In the third essays, we try to discover systematic disagreements in momentum, asymmetric volatility and the idiosyncratic risk momentum return relationship between high-tech stocks and low-tech stocks. We develop several hypotheses that suggest greater momentum profits, fainter asymmetric volatility and weaker idiosyncratic risk-momentum return relation in the high-tech stocks relative to the low tech stocks. To this end, we divide 5795 stocks that are listed in the Russell 3000 index from January 1995 to December 2015 into two samples SIC code and analysed them using the Fama French with GJR-GARCH-M term. The results show that the high-tech stocks provide greater momentum profits especially for portfolios that have holding and ranking periods of less than 12 months. In most cases momentum returns in the high-tech stocks explain a symmetric response to good and bad news while the momentum returns in the low-tech stocks show an asymmetric response. Finally, the idiosyncratic risk-momentum return relation is insignificant for high-tech stocks while it is significant and negative for low-tech stocks. That is, as idiosyncratic risk increases, momentum decreases for low-tech stocks. These findings are robust to different momentum strategies and to different breakpoints.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of corporate decision making regarding foreign direct investments (FDI) by applying two behavioural finance concepts, home bias and herding, to the analysis of FDI flows. I contribute to the literature by empirically testing for home bias and herding in an FDI context using a very broad panel dataset. I also contribute by examining the country policy implications of home bias on FDI flows between two countries by estimating the probability of an FDI relationship between two countries. In addition, I contribute by providing a generality of the results at a global, regional and country levels. The analysis in this thesis is conducted on a large panel dataset of the FDI inflows and outflows of 30 OECD member countries with their FDI partners, across 25 years in a bilateral country pair format which is a novel application of this dataset for the purpose of studying home bias and herding in FDI. The findings in this thesis confirm that there is an overall home country bias that is demonstrated through the preference for direct investments in places with greater physical, institutional and cultural proximity to the investor country. These general findings of home bias are observed and confirmed across different data segments: regional and country levels, across time and across different income country groups. I do not find that the effects of home bias have disappeared or diminished across time or at different geographic locations. Herding is another behavioural finance concept which is considered in the context of FDI outflows. Direct investors tend to herd around a perceived world or a regional leader when considering investments in faraway places and when they do not have the familiarity factors in common with an FDI partner country. Finally, by increasing the institutional and cultural familiarity, countries can significantly increase the probability that they will get a direct investment from a country with which they might not otherwise be having an FDI relationship.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis comprises four essays on optimal investment in mathematical finance. The first two are concerned with optimal stock buying/selling w.r.t. its global maximum (minimum). We first aim to determine an optimal selling time so as to minimize the expectation of the square error between the selling price and the global maximum. Then, we formulate four stock buying/selling problems by minimizing/maximizing the expectation of the ratio of the buying/selling price to the global maximum (minimum) price. These are optimal stopping problems that can be formulated as variational inequality problems. We solve them by a partial differential equation approach. The latter two essays are related to optimal investment with behavioral preferences. In Essay Ill, we consider optimal asset liquidation for an investor with an S-shaped utility. We characterize the value function in the sense of viscosity solution due to the nonsmoothness of the payoff function and show that the optimal liquidation strategies are consistent with the disposition effect. In Essay IV, we consider a mean- semi-variance portfolio selection problem with probability distortion. Using a dual argument, we change the decision variable to a quantile function. We then apply the Lagrange method to solve the problem. It turns out that the distorted mean-semi- variance problem only admits an optimal solution with some proper distortion functions.

Abstract:
The main purpose of this dissertation is to lessen the gap in the Islamic finance and investment literature by providing new answers to the most vital question raised in that literature: Is the adherence to the Shariah law associated with at any cost? The first chapter provides a primer on Islamic finance. It discusses several restrictions and necessary adaptations that must be made to have a Shariah-compliant product. The takeaway is that Shariah law mandates is related to fundamentals and, thus has a direct effect on the risk-return profile of all sorts of different products. This is referred to as the “Islamic-effect.” The second chapter investigates that Islamic-effect in a cross-sectional stock return context. This is done in two steps. First, looking at differences in stock returns between Islamic and conventional firms in Saudi Arabia during the period from January 2003 to April 2011. Results indicate that there is a negative relationship between Saudi Islamic firms and average returns. This is referred to as the “negative Islamic-effect.” Second, examine whether that negative Islamic-effect is considered a common, systematic, and undiversified risk factor that affects cross-sectional expected stock returns. Time-series regressions results indicate that the Islamic risk factor (CMI) does indeed capture strong common variation in Saudi stock returns regardless what is included in the model. Also, findings suggest that using a four-factor model that controls for the Islamic-effect is more appropriate than using a single- or a three-factor model in Islamic finance applications that require estimates of expected stock returns. The third chapter investigates the Islamic-effect in a mutual fund context. A unique sample of 143 Saudi mutual funds (96-Islamic and 47-conventional) is used to assess the performance and riskiness of Saudi Islamic funds relative to Saudi conventional funds and relative to different Islamic and conventional indices for the period from July 2004 to January 2010. Findings suggest that there is a benefit (cost) from adhering to the Shariah law when locally-focused (internationally-focused) fund portfolios are investigated. When Arab-focused fund portfolios are investigated, findings suggest that there is neither a cost nor a benefit from adhering to the Shariah law.

Todorovic, Natasa. "Equity investment styles." Thesis, City University London, 2001. http://openaccess.city.ac.uk/8399/.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the nature of determinants of equity returns as suggested by the CAPM model, in particular, alphas, betas and equity premium and to outline implications for investment managers that statistical and structural analysis of the aforementioned variables may suggest. The thesis contributes to the existing literature in the following areas. First, it addresses the question of predictive power of historical risk-adjusted portfolio performance measures on determining future equity returns in short and long term hoirsons. Second, it investigates the stability of beta coefficients and its impact on portfolio risk and seasonality in equity returns. Third, it assesses the question of dividend yield as determinant of portfolio alphas. Finally, it addresses the question of a common factor that may be influencing movements of equity premiums across European markets. All the aforementioned empirical work is the first of this kind, at least to our knowledge, in the UK. In Chapter One we provide an indirect test of alpha stability. We test if past alphas, information ratio and alpha-to-beta ratio of positive and negative alpha portfolios can be used to determine future portfolio returns. We find that chosen portfolio performance measures do not have any predictive power in the short term investment horisons. However, in the longer term horisons of 24 to 36 months, we document the mean reversion in our portfolio returns and conclude that one can use historical measures of performance to predict returns in the longer run. In Chapter Two we proceed to investigate if stocks with higher beta (systematic risk) also exhibit higher instability in betas as well, thus causing even greater risk for investors. We also examine the seasonality effect in the UK size-based portfolios and try to relate it to seasonality in betas. Our findings suggest that higher beta stocks do have more time-variant betas. Additionally, we find that equity returns are much higher in December-April than in May-November period but we find no robust evidence that such seasonality in returns is due to seasonality in betas but rather due to investors' psychology. In Chapter Three, we assess the relationship between excess returns and dividend yields in the UK market. The econometric analysis reveals U-shaped yield-return relationship in the 1980s and quadratic, bell-shaped, relationship in the 1990s. It seems that such a change in the relationship is driven by the change in the returns pattern of small size stocks in the 1990s. We find no evidence of the tax effect as the explanation of yield-return relationship that we observe. In Chapter Four we try to identify what may be the common determinant of equity risk premium across European markets. We test for the serial correlation in the stock market returns and the results suggest that serial correlation is not in the level of returns but in the volatility of returns. Hence, if shocks to returns and in turn equity premium are persistent, there can be a scenario of a world-wide shock, which may influence the equity premium across countries in the similar manner driving them in the same direction. The overall findings of the thesis are indicating instability of CAPM determinants of UK equity returns. If investors are aware of these instabilities, they can adjust theirinvestment strategies accordingly and generate excess returns on their investment.

Abstract:
Esta tese é composta de três ensaios empíricos sobre finanças corporativas e macrofinanças, todos eles aplicados ao Brasil. O primeiro mostra como uma mudanças tributárias no nível do acionista podem afetar as decisões financeiras das empresas investidas, através da estrutura de propriedade. Os resultados sugerem que as empresas ajustam suas políticas financeiras para minimizar os gastos tributários totais (nível do acionista mais nível da firma). No segundo artigo, analisa-se a relação entre o investimento estrangeiro em carteira (EFPI) e o investimento agregado brasileiro. Os resultados mostram que o EFPI tem um impacto marginal positivo na formação bruta de capital fixo, mas que essa relação é condicionada a fatores institucionais, tal como o grau de intervenção do governo no mercado de crédito. Finalmente, no terceiro ensaio, mostro que um aumento exógeno dos preços dos ativos colateralizáveis imobiliários pode ter consequências positivas no financiamento e investimento das empresas. As firmas aparentemente mais beneficiadas pelo ciclo expansionista de crédito observado no Brasil durante os anos 2000 foram justamente aquelas com menor grau de tangibilidade, potencialmente fora do mercado de crédito no período anterior.
In this thesis, I present three empirical essays on corporate finance and macro-finance applied to Brazil. In the first one, I show that an exogenous tax change at the investor level can have real effects on the invested firms’ behavior. My evidence suggests that treated firms adjust their financial policies considering substitute financial instruments and seeking to minimize overall tax spending. In the second paper, I analyze the role of equity foreign portfolio investment (EFPI) on affecting aggregate investment. The results show that EFPI has a marginal positive impact on the gross capital formation, but this relation seems to be contingent on institutional factors such as government intervention in credit markets. Finally, in the third essay, I show that an exogenous increase in collateral prices can have positive consequences on firms’ financing and investment decisions. The credit expansion registered in Brazil in the middle of the 2000’s seem to have alleviated financial constraints most for smaller, less tangible firms, which probably were (at least partially) out of the credit market before the boom.

Abstract:
This study is concerned with recent developments in international investment and the theory of the firm. The proposition that markets and hierarchies are alternative governance structures for completing related sets of transactions is less contentious. However, the view that foreign direct investment is the most efficient governance structure, in transaction-cost economizing terms, remains controversial. This research identifies with this contention. The premise of the study is that the governance structure of foreign transactions cannot be confined to or decided within the framework of hierarchy alone. The study presents a number of market mechanisms firms use to accomplish foreign transactions. Termed "New Forms of International Investment", these strategies involve non-equity (i.e. contractual/cooperative) and minority-equity arrangements. Hypotheses concerning the transaction cost nature and the impact of managerial perceptions of several explanatory factors were developed and tested using data gathered from a questionnaire survey of, and interviews with, executives from 66 MNCs and 31 MNBs. The results of the research provide evidence that while firm-specific characteristics offer firms opportunities to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses in relation to given overseas markets, host country-specific characteristics offer a complementary platform for assessing the optimum mode of entry. Also, managerial perceptions of the nature and importance of these factors and their impact on the diversification strategy of the firm were found to be significant in entry mode choices. The greater the perception of distortion propensities in a host country, the more likely resources, insofar as they would be transferred at all, would be transacted via new forms. There was no evidence to support the literature contention that the use of the new forms is a particular phenomenon of developing countries. These findings were reinforced by the interview results.

Abstract:
Nothing has united world in recent years as global climate change issues and its environmental impact. Situation is alarming and world has recognized negative consequences industrial development has on the environment. With the aim to struggle with growing needs for sustainable solutions of environment preserving, finance and investments have crucial role. Sustainable and green finance and investments have rising importance in achieving sustainable environmental projects. Also, environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria have new vital role today in financial and investment decision making. The aim of this paper is to examine the role of sustainable finance and investments in Western Balkans countries. This study has an essentially exploratory character. The intention is to analyze current situation and to seek for potentials regarding development of green finance products like green bonds. The idea is to find incentives in sustainable finance area to further promote and develop capital market in this region.

Full text
Abstract:
This investor-focused study analyses the role of private finance in climate-smart agriculture (CSA) technology innovation and deployment in Africa and Asia. It focuses in on the perspectives of investors, identifies technologies and areas that demonstrate commercial viability and investment potential, profiles existing investments in CSA technologies, explores the motives and incentives that may attract investors to financing CSA technology companies, and provides a more nuanced understanding of the barriers and bottlenecks that exist for mobilizing greater investment for CSA technology. The findings are based on evidence from 28 interviews with investors and other CSA technology stakeholders, and a review of more than 100 relevant reports and publications. Most investors tend to approach climate challenges from the perspective of environmental, social, and corporate governance(ESG) screening, looking first at risk, and building from a 'do no harm' perspective, rather than seeking to identify solutionoriented technology investments. Less than 1% of private climate finance is currently directed towards CSA, with enterprises struggling to find appropriately costed investment capital. Increasing private financial flows to emerging and developing economies needs to be supported by proactively connecting available capital with investable opportunities and encouraging new market structures and business models.

Abstract:
A surprisingly large number of countries have been able to finance a significant fraction of domestic investment using foreign finance for extended periods. While many of these episodes are in low-income countries where official finance is more important than private finance, this paper also identifies a number of episodes where a substantial fraction of domestic investment was financed via private capital inflows. That said, foreign savings are not a good substitute for domestic savings, since more often than not episodes of large and persistent current account deficits do not end happily. Rather, they end abruptly with compression of the current account, real exchange rate depreciation, and a sharp slowdown in investment. Summing over the deficit episode and its aftermath, growth is slower than when countries rely on domestic savings. The paper concludes that financing growth and investment out of foreign savings, while not impossible, is risky.

Chapple, Alice, and Alvaro Valverde. Mobilizing climate finance towards agricultural adaptation and nature-based solutions. Commercial Agriculture for Smallholders and Agribusiness (CASA), 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.1079/20240191174.

Full text
Abstract:
The Commercial Agriculture for Smallholders and Agribusiness (CASA) Programme aims to drive global investment towards inclusive climate-resilient agri-food systems that increase smallholder incomes. CASA's research component has recently identified the challenges faced in mobilizing climate finance in agriculture, and particularly in climate adaptation, as well as the existence of a funding gap for small and medium-sized agriculture enterprises (agri-SMEs) of around $106 billion (ISF Advisors, 2022). Of particular concern is the minimal funding that would be needed to help smallholder farmers adapt to the challenge of climate change and increase their resilience. Adaptation for smallholder farmers might include investment in drought-resistant seeds, technologies and practices that enable climate-smart agriculture, investment in improved water management, and investment in improved management of food waste, including facilities for storage of crops. Smallholder farmers may also benefit from interventions that protect the natural environment on which they depend (e.g. interventions relating to water supplies, soil quality or soil stabilization), or from activities that augment their incomes through payments for the protection of natural capital. Investment in these nature-based solutions (NbS) can potentially contribute to capital flows to smallholder farmers, even though they are often primarily designed to deliver carbon sequestration benefits to companies or investors seeking a 'net zero' position. This report seeks to answer the following questions, which were explored through interviews with key sectoral stakeholders (principally in Asia): What types of investments in agricultural adaptation and NbS are being made by different categories of investors? What are the barriers to investment in climate adaptation in agriculture and in NbS? What opportunities are emerging for these types of investment? What partnerships are required to help drive capital towards these areas of investment? What evidence is needed to drive capital towards these areas of investment?
