Abstract:
Decisions are made according to a complex cognitive and emotional evaluation of the situation. The aim of the paper is to examine the effect of mood on risky investment decision making by using a mood induction procedure. The paper investigates how happy and sad mood affects risky investment decision making and whether there is a difference between the perception of fix investments and monetary investments. The analysis has been conducted focusing on individual investment decisions. Data for the research comes from a laboratory experiment, where 166 participants in happy, sad and neutral mood, filled out a questionnaire of investment decisions. The results indicate that mood does affect investment decision making, and positive and negative mood might have similar effect on the investment decision.

Abstract:
Investment decisions are among the most important decisions growers make. In many cases, those investments are in capital assets such as establishing a new orchard or purchasing a new piece of equipment. The process for evaluating those investments is called investment analysis or capital budgeting. This 4-page fact sheet written by Julio Cruz and Ariel Singerman and published by the UF/IFAS Food and Resource Economics Department reviews net present value and the internal rate of return, the two main criteria for decision making when evaluating a decision to invest in a capital asset. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fe1060

Abstract: This study seeks to explore the influence of culture on the investment decisions of Ghanaians. It is motivated by the perception that Ghanaians show no enthusiasm for long-term investments or life insurance products. To explore this problem, we used a random sampling, quantitative cross-sectional technique to administer a set of questionnaires to a cross-section of 120 Ghanaians residing in the City of Columbus, Ohio, U.S.A. Hofstede’s five cultural dimensions were used as the theoretical framework to guide the study. The results showed that Ghanaians prefer short-duration risk-free investments to long-duration risky investments. Ghanaian investors are not aggressive in gathering and analyzing financial information before making investment decisions. Their investment decisions are influenced by others, intuition, comfort and security, and their belief systems, rather than rational analysis of information, and risk-reward relationships derived from financial models. The use of intuition and information passed on from relatives, family members and others in making investment decisions paves the way for cultural factors to influence investment decisions. We conclude that cultural values have significant influence on the investment decisions of Ghanaians. The study seeks to motivate investors to examine and broaden their cultural awareness to enable them to develop financial plans to achieve their investment goals. We recommend that to overcome negative cultural influence on investment decision making, financial education should be vigorously pursued to broaden financial literacy.

Abstract:
This study aims to obtain empirical evidence of the influence of Subjective Norms, Behavioral Control, and Heuristic Behavior on Investment Decisions. We used 54 respondents of individual investors who are just learning and or have already transacted on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) as a sample. By using multiple regression analysis, we found that the subjective norm has an effect on investment decisions. This means that the higher the influence of individual external environmental pressures, namely observers, friends, mass media, and investment management, the greater the individual's ability to make investment decisions. Behavioral Control has an effect on Investment Decisions. This means an understanding of the simplicity or complexity of taking action based on past experience and the obstacles that may be faced when taking action, affecting individuals in making investments. Heuristic behavior affects investment decision making. This means that the level of confidence and experience possessed by individuals and other known people will influence individuals in making accurate investments.

Abstract We study investments in exclusive projects with different cost structures. Our analysis incorporates the possibility of producing a stochastic revenue stream from two alternative technologies with a stochastic variable cost and a fixed cost, respectively, and accounts for project managers’ endogenous operating decisions. The optimal investment decision is characterized by two possibly nonmonotone boundaries. We examine the effect of operating leverage on managerial policies, investment decisions, and values and carry out an application to power generation projects. We assess the impact of knowledge acquisition, that is, investments in growth options. (JEL G13, Q40, Q42, L94)

Abstract:
This study investigates the return implications of investment decisions by firms that are subject to incentive regulation (IR). The analysis controls for the mediating effects of regulatory climate and firm size and allows for industry-wide effects by incorporating a control sample of traditional rate-of-return firms. It is shown that the information contents of unexpected capital expenditures and unexpected investment costs derived from the allowance for funds used during construction are positively related to incentive regulation. The results further reveal that differences in IR types are associated with differences in the information contents of unexpected investments. Furthermore, regulatory climate has positive effects on the association between returns and unexpected investments, whereas firm size has negative but weak effects on the association between returns and unexpected investments.

Abstract:
Food safety systems that implement Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), certification, traceability, brands as well as in geographical indications and private branding require dedicated investments in physical resources, human resources and in re-organising the production processes and control activities. Investment decisions can be made according to legal requirements or based on voluntary decisions. In this study, we address the two following research questions: do the inducements due to the regulatory framework influence the decision to invest in the implementation of food safety strategies and what is the size of this potential influence? Does the allocation of the decision right to invest influence the investment decision and does this potential influence vary across food safety systems? We carried out an empirical investigation on investment decisions in the Italian meat sector, comparing systems dedicated to safety and marketing strategies. The knowledge of such an influence provides a better understanding of the micro-level motivations of food safety investments in a critical area and contribute to the design of regulatory strategies.

Abstract:
Moral luck refers to whether an actor is morally praised or blamed for an action whose outcome they could not influence. In two studies, we investigated the behavioral importance of this phenomenon in the realm of investments, which has become increasingly subject to ethical evaluations. In our first online experiment, we examined whether people’s moral evaluation of an investment decision depended on its arbitrary outcome and whether their interpretation of the nature of the decision was driven by this outcome. Our results showed that profitable investments were considered more moral than unprofitable investments. Moreover, profitable investments were labeled “investments” instead of “speculation” or “gambling” more often than unprofitable ones. In our second study, we asked the subjects to assess investments independent of the outcome. After the outcome was announced, the subjects were given the opportunity to reflect and change their initial decision. The results show that people change the moral evaluation and label of investments when told that it had a bad outcome. This observation was stable across different investment contexts. These findings suggest that we must be careful with the increasing moralization of investment decisions and be sensitive to our cognitive biases.

The main research problem was the impact of gross savings of changes in gross investment levels in this sector. To this end, we used a formula determining the value of private investments from the theory of the economic dynamism of M. Kalecki. First, we checked its adjustment to the economic reality of the energy sector and analysed the impact of individual independent variables on gross investment levels. We calculated linear regression and correlation coefficients in two variants due to delays between investments and investment decisions. The results of the studies justified the hypothesis. According to it, gross investments in the Polish energy sector are determined by the level of gross savings of companies.

Abstract:
This article analyses homeowners’ decisions to undertake fire-safe investments and create defensible space on their property using a unique dataset from 35 wildland–urban interface communities in Nevada. The dataset combines homeowner information from a mail survey with their observed fire-safe investments obtained through parcel-level hazard assessments. We find that homeowners’ self-reported mitigation expenditures are driven by their subjective beliefs about their wildfire risk, whereas observed defensible space status is driven by their costs of investment. We develop a theoretical model of a homeowner’s fire-safe investment decision that accounts for our empirical results.

Abstract:
The pulp and paper industry relies heavily on the traditional discounted cash flow-based net present value (DCF-NPV) for making capital investment decisions. The deficiency of the DCF-NPV model is that it is static; once a pattern of cash flow is established, management does not have the option to change the direction when new information is available. However, flexibility to alter the investment decision is a powerful strategic and capital investment tool. Abundant research has established strong precedence for applications of “real options” in operational and strategic settings to provide useful insights in the evaluation of irreversible investments under uncertainty. The binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model (OPM) for strategic planning and capital investment has been used in many other industries but not in the pulp and paper industry. The pulp and paper industry, though very capital intensive, has provided poor to moderate return on investment or return on capital and has never used the OPM and the flexibility it offers for capital investment decisions. This paper makes a case for using OPM for capital investment decisions by using the example of a hypothetical North American mill considering investments to modernize its papermaking operation.

Abstract:
What incentives do managers face that might give rise to inefficient investments in leases? If managers make inefficient investments in leases, what economic consequences arise for those managers and their firms? We develop a model of expected investments in leased assets and use the residuals from the model as proxies for inefficient investments. We find that, in contrast to investments in capital expenditures, leasing appears to be a mechanism through which managers can seemingly over-invest, even among firms with high quality financial reporting and negative free cash flows. Examining economic consequences, we predict and find that unexpected investments in leased assets trigger increasing future sales growth but declining future earnings growth for as long as three years ahead. We also find a negative relation with contemporaneous stock returns, suggesting investors view unexpected investments in leases as value destructive. Finally, despite negative returns consequences, we find that unexpected investments in leases are associated with higher CEO compensation driven primarily by future sales growth. Our study suggests that compensation contracts that reward growth may give managers’ incentives to drive sales growth with larger-than-expected investments in leased assets, which lead to slower future earnings growth and negative share price consequences for investors. Our results should inform managers and board members, investors, and researchers interested in investment efficiency, corporate governance, and leases.

Abstract:
This study adopts a gender perspective to analyze funding decisions made by an investment fund that invests equity stakes in new ventures. Prior research has indicated that there is gender skewness in risk capital investments resulting from a combination of demand‐ and supply‐side issues. We apply signaling theory to examine the interface between demand and supply to understand gender biases related to risk capital investments. In‐depth analyses of decision documents from four investment cases show that gender plays a role in the signals that are communicated in the prefunding entrepreneur–investor relationship.

Abstract:
This paper investigates the increasing use of artificial intelligence in the field of investments today. It seeks to explore how artificial intelligence strategies can help investors make better investment decisions as well as highlight the risks posed by the use of artificial intelligence. In the digital era, transformational technology is powering new forms of automation that are more universal and smarter than ever before. The technology has not only changed significant operational aspects such as logistics, manufacturing, and warehousing but also the investment industry at large. Technologies associated with artificial intelligence help in performing tasks commonly associated with human beings such as logical operations, visual operations, speech recognition, visual perceptions, language translation and decision-making. Today, Computer technology has the capabilities of trouncing human intelligence in solving complex computations in shorter periods. The same technique can be replicated in investment in problem solving, decision-making and risk management. For instance, artificial intelligence tools helps in making faster precise assessment of potential borrowers at minimal cost which accounts for better informed and data backed decision that reduces human bias.

Abstract Previous research showed that accumulations of capital following stationary interest rates are underestimated by human judges. Hyperbolic discounting was suggested as a descriptive and explanatory model for this phenomenon. First, we investigated judged accumulated capital after a period of annual growth and decline. The degree of underestimation increased with accumulated growth and the results supported hyperbolic discounting as a descriptive model on the group level. However, the hyperbolic model did not apply to the data for one third of the participants. Second, we investigated how investment decisions were related to capital accumulation before the investments and to judgments of the possible outcomes of the future investments. To our surprise, the participants’ judgments of expected future accumulated capital did not add predictive power to predictions based on whether there was growth or decline before the investment decision. Unfortunately this strategy leads to suboptimal investment decisions

Financial literacy is very essential for any individual in order to efficient and effective decisions regarding their personal investments. Based on that scenario, this study examines the impact of financial literacy on personal investment decisions amongst medical practitioners in Sri Lanka. Personal investment decision has been considered as the dependent variable while financial knowledge, financial skills and financial attitude has been considered as the proxies for the independent variable. Deductive approach has been employed using primary data which is obtained from 205 respondents throughout the country. Descriptive and inferential statistics such as multiple linear regression have been used for the analysis purpose. The results suggested that there is a significant impact between the financial knowledge and financial skills on investment decision while the financial attitude does not have a significant impact on the investment decision. The empirical findings of this study are helpful for any individual who is willing to take effective investment decisions, academics, policy makers and all other related interested parties.

The evolution of information during the COVID-19 pandemic has altered how investors invest. Investments can be made easily on a variety of digital platforms that provide easy access to information in investment decisions. Information media is expanding to promote investment decision making, boosting the rise and development of investor financial behavior bias. This study attempts to fill a knowledge gap in behavioral finance by concentrating on behavioral biases such as Herd Instinct Bias, Emotional Biases, and Information Processing Biases in capital market investment decisions. PLS-SEM (Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling) was used to evaluate the data of 205 Indonesian capital market investors who are members of securities companies. The data confirm that overconfidence, herding bias, confirmation bias, and recency bias influence investor investment decisions, whereas endowment bias had no effect on investment decisions.

Decision tools often support investment decisions. It is assumed that information structure and the factors in the market systematically influence individuals’ investment decisions as well as market outcomes. Investor market behaviour derives from psychological principles of decision making to explain why people buy or sell stocks. These factors will focus upon how investors interpret and act on information to make investment decisions. The purpose of the study was to identify the factors that influence investment decision making among potential individual investors in Malaysia. Three behavioural factors might influence investment decision making which are accounting-information, firm-image coincidence and personal-financial-needs. A set of questionnaire was distributed to 384 potential investors in Malaysia specifically in housing area of Klang Valley as population of this study. Based on the findings, it showed that there is positive relationship between accounting-information, firm-image-coincidence and personal-financial-needs in investment decision making. Hence, between these three behavioural factors, accounting-information, firm-image coincidence and personal-financial-needs, the main influential factor is accounting-information. This study also proposed a future research for investment decision making and give implications to the potential investors, community, organization, policy makers and investment practitioners.

Abstract:
Financial Investments are the commitments that are made by individuals with any financial and non-financial instruments for gaining a better and profitable return in future for a particular objective. The financial and non-financial investment instruments act as a medium or a driving tool for investment decisions of individuals. From the available investment avenues one must select the appropriate one that he feels safer or good to invest. The person who is going to make investments should be aware of all knowledge about investments and should be aware of how it is going to fulfil his objective. The person who is investing should be known of all the investment avenues available for making investments. Such avenues are employee provident fund, public provident fund, mutual funds, insurance, bank deposits, real estate, gold, stock market. This study is about to analyse the investment pattern of college professors and their attitude towards investment avenues. It also aims to identify the reason behind making investment and to find their objective for making investment. It helps to find the behaviour of individuals while making investments. Further this study helps to find the relationship of various demographic factors of the respondents and factors associated while making investment decisions. Such factors include time period of their investment, investment avenues, risk factors, returns etc.

Abstract:
In Indonesia, the capital market experiences very rapid growth. The increase of the IDX Composite in 2016 was an indicator of capital market developments and affects investment activities. The investment activities related to the investment judgments of investors are affected by many factors. This study discusses the impact of financial literacy, herding behaviour, risk perception, overconfidence, experience regret, and the illusion of control on investment decisions. This study used 100 equity investors registered in an investment gallery at the Universitas Nusantara PGRI Kediri as samples. The analysis technique is SEM PLS. Results show that financial literacy, overconfidence, and illusion of control affect investment decisions. Besides, herding behaviour, risk perception, and experience regret do not influence investment decisions. The significance of these findings is to provide knowledge about the aspects and factors that influence investment decisions. Financial literacy allows investors to gain more information and learn about investments to avoid and prevent risks. Overconfidence gives investors sufficient certainty and information in making decisions by paying attention to the risks to prepare themselves to receive returns from the undertaken investments. The illusion of control makes investors believe in their abilities which can trigger investment results. Students with better financial knowledge can make better investment decisions.

Abstract:
Investment decisions of the investors are influenced by different objective and subjective factors. But we as investors ignore or not knowingly our emotions, feelings and sentiments make investment decisions. This disturbs our investment objective and the returns on investments gets effected. Hence, an attempt is made to understand the effect of prospect rules on investors’ investment decisions. The research methodology is descriptive and causal in nature. The sample for the study are the retail investors from Belagavi city. The data to study the effect will be collected through primary source by the questionnaire. The result of regression analysis showed that there was impact of loss aversion and disposition effect on investor’s investment decision. Even the way information is framed the investors get carried away by that, while making the decision of money to be invested. It was also found that less than 10% of the savings are getting invested by the investors. The results would be of use to the financial advisors and investors in knowing the subjective factors affecting their client’s money related decisions.

Abstract:
AbstractIt is often the case that one can choose a mix of alternative options rather than have to select one option only. Such an opportunity to diversify may blunt the risk involved in all-or-none choice. Here we investigate repeated investment decisions in two-valued options that differ in their riskiness, looking for the effects of recent decisions and their outcomes on upcoming decisions. We compare these effects to those evident in all-or-none choice between the same risky options. The “state of the world”, namely, the likelihood of the high versus the low outcomes of the options, is manipulated. We find that aggregate allocation diverges from uniformity (i.e., from 1/n), and is sensitive to outcome probabilities, with the pattern of results indicating reactivity to the outcome of the previous decision. Round-to-round dynamics reveal that the outcome of the previous decision has an effect on the subsequent decision, on top of inertia; the aspects of the outcome that influence the next decision indicate an effect of a missed opportunity, if there was one, in the previous decision. Importantly, recent outcomes have a similar effect in diversification decisions and in all-or-none choice.

Abstract:
Differences in tendencies toward escalation of commitment are examined in a comparative study of Mexican and US decision-makers. Results show that Mexican subjects were significantly more inclined toward escalation. Mexican subjects also reported significantly greater confidence in their escalatory decisions, and subjects from both countries escalated their commitment when bad news about the investment came from subordinates. Furthermore, Mexican subjects made relatively smaller additional investments when they were personally responsible for the initial investment decision.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between financial distress, value of firm and investment decision in the world's largest mining companies. Investment decision in a company is very important in developing the company, it can be by doing business expansion or other things. This research uses quantitative methods. The independent variables in this study are financial distress, firm value and trilemma index. the financial distress coefficient is negative -0.04 significant with a p-value of 0.021 for investment decisions. Financial distress has a negative influence on investment decisions in large mining companies around the world in 2010-2019, which means that in the world's large mining companies, companies that have a financial downturn in their companies tend to make investment decisions with the aim of restoring the company's financial condition. The point is, financial distress here can also occur not because after the company makes an investment decision, the company will experience a financial downturn, this can happen one of them because by making an investment decision it can make the company's finances seem to be reduced but financial conditions can be reduced. by the company in making investments.

Abstract:
Abstract An investment policy is suggested about assets on real estate markets. Such analysis recommends investments in non-financial assets and optimization of the results from such decisions. The formalization of the investment policy is based on the portfolio theory for asset allocation. Two main criteria are applied for the decision making: return and risk. The decision support is based on Mean-Variance portfolio model. A dynamical and adaptive investment policy is derived for active portfolio management. Sliding procedure in time with definition and solution of a set of portfolio problems is applied. The decision defines the relative value of the investment to which real estates are to be allocated. The regional real estate markets of six Bulgarian towns, which identify the regions with potential for investments, are compared. The added value of the paper results in development of algorithm for a quantitative analysis of real estate markets, based on portfolio theory.

Abstract:
Financial decision-making by consumers involves the allocation of financial resources in savings, debt repayment, budgeting, and investments. Behavioural biases of overconfidence and risk aversion lead to suboptimal decisions with lower-than-expected returns in financial markets, particularly for investment decisions. Women have been generally considered more risk-averse and less overconfident than men, often attributed to biological and psychological factors. However, recent studies show weak causal relations between biological gender traits and different levels of behavioural biases between men and women.

Abstract:
Purpose This paper aims to describe two scenarios where the problem of information search interacts with the firm’s investment decisions. Investment decisions cannot be made separately from the need to acquire information. Design/methodology/approach The scenarios are illustrated with easy-to-follow numerical examples. Vignettes put the numerical examples in their real-world context. Findings In both scenarios, the firm should choose what might myopically appear as the lower net per value (NPV) alternative to efficiently deal with the information search problem. Originality/value Long-term investments are an important topic in the study of both accounting and finance, but it is in the study of accounting where information issues related to long term investments come to the fore. The traditional textbook approach on whether to accept long-term investment opportunities is to use the NPV rule. However, as illustrated in this note, in many important situations where information search is crucial to investment choice, the NPV rule will not lead to efficient investment decisions.

Abstract:
The escalation of commitment process involves a decision-maker continuing commitment to an investment after receiving negative information. This study develops a principal-agent model to explore how escalation decisions are linked with departures of CEOs from the position. With asymmetric information, a CEO has an incentive to conceal prior decision errors by escalating commitment to failing investments and leaving the firm before the outcome of investment decisions is disclosed publicly. Results of empirical analysis based on a sample of over 3,000 US firms are consistent with the theory and demonstrate that firms’ reporting of low financial performance relative to their industry as well as initiation of new discontinued operations are preceded, and not followed, by unplanned CEO departures.

Abstract:
This study attempts to identify the main drivers for e-car investments in households and organizations. We questioned 227 decision makers in households currently considering car purchases, and 101 decision makers in small businesses. The businesses were private care services, because their driving profiles widely fit the capabilities of modern e-cars. The main investment drivers were compared in an integrated action model involving elements of the theory of planned behavior and the norm-activation model, i.e., investment intentions, attitudes, personal (ecological) and social norms, and perceived behavioral control. For each group, different models were calculated in order to investigate the relevance of different types of social norms within the decision process, i.e., injunctive or descriptive norms. As expected, the household and organizational decisions were found to be based on different key factors: the decision makers in households mostly considered personal and descriptive social norms; the organizational decisions were mostly grounded in attitudes and injunctive social norms concerning staff expectations. The results suggest the need for tailored policy measures for each target group.

Abstract:
Private pension funds were thought to be an important pillar of old-age provision when they were introduced throughout (Emerging) Europe. As different as these funds are in different countries with regards to their regulation, their ownership structure and operation, none were immune to the sub-prime led financial crisis. The Hungarian private pension funds are unique amongst the defined contribution (DC) funds. With their decade old recent history, they are maturing to the payout period in a few years’ time; however, their demise appears ever more realistic by means of political decision. This makes uncovering their investment policy during the crises very timely. Examining such a period is of importance in shedding light on the behaviour of traditional financial concepts in periods of stress. In this paper, we assess the optimality of diversification, hedging and short sales decision possibilities of the Hungarian pension funds in the equity investments environment. Was the net asset value (NAV) erosion suffered by the Hungarian private pension funds a result of their investment decision? We examine this question of diversification through a hypothetical simulation of model investment portfolios. Our results show that international diversification yields better risk-adjusted returns only in case of perfect hindsight of future market movements. The high correlation of the stock indices globally in times of crises limits the benefits of diversification.

Abstract:
Purpose – The tightening competition and performance pressure in companies often leave no time or space for the assessment of business impacts of different investments and projects. In addition, in many cases the assessment may be challenging and there is no experience available to undertake it. Despite that companies often commit to different projects and investments without careful planning and vision of the costs it may cause. The purpose of this paper is to create a decision support system in order to facilitate and increase the assessment of business impacts of different investments concerning to machine-to-machine (M2M) systems. Design/methodology/approach – The created decision support system is composed of cost-benefit analysis including several investment decision methods. In order to deepen the understanding on it, the system was applied to two cases from the M2M business. Findings – During the study it was found that different financial metrics might give contradictory results when deciding whether to undertake an investment. In addition, a significant finding was how much some variables may have significance to the eligibility of an investment than others. The study also gave understanding how long payback time can be and how risky the investments might be in different M2M applications. Originality/value – The study describes the created decision support system and it is applied to two different M2M applications. The system provides a comprehensive combination of different financial metrics, which will help any manager make decisions whether an investment is eligible or not.

Abstract:
Transportation investments determine the long-term success or failure of a transportation provider. It is therefore vital for decision makers to have an in-depth understanding of the alternatives available before they choose to invest. However, often, the process of evaluating alternatives is lengthy, costly, and contentious, particularly for transportation infrastructure investment decisions that are large, complex, and interconnected with other economic development and sustainability goals. Furthermore, transportation investments involve many decision makers, each with different priorities and expertise. Therefore, there is a need for transparent, accurate, flexible, and practicable decision-making aids that can handle the complex challenges facing the decision-making bodies of transportation providers and planning organizations. This paper introduces a new decision aid—the CLIOSjre Process—that combines insights from multicriteria decision analysis, multistakeholder negotiation theory, and uncertainty analysis. The CLIOSjre Process helps decision makers compare multiple alternatives across multiple objectives and seek an informed collective transportation investment decision. Unlike other multicriteria decision aids, the CLIOSjre Process accounts for differences of opinion among decision makers and is designed to facilitate constructive negotiation among them. Finally, the CLIOSjre Process formally accounts for sources of uncertainty inherent in these decisions. In this way, the CLIOSjre Process provides a unique and flexible framework for investment analysis that can adapt to changes in transportation alternatives, decision-maker priorities, and emerging real-world conditions. The usefulness of this new decision aid is illustrated for the East Japan Railway Company’s consideration of a transportation investment opportunity in high-speed rail development on the Northeast Corridor of the United States.

This paper examines corporate governance provided by different types of institutional investors on REIT investment decisions and its impact on firm performance. First, we find that property-type Q (firm-specific stock valuation) positively affects REIT investment decisions and such effect is materially influenced by institutional ownerships. Second, we expand Hartzell, Sun, and Titman (2006), and find negative impacts of investments on future REIT performance. We argue that firms over-invest when they see stock prices in their particular sectors are over-valued, and over-investments subsequently depress firm value. We also find that the over-investment problem is mitigated by corporate governance and monitoring performed by institutional investors

Abstract:
The vast Brazilian territory and the accelerated economic growth of the cities of the country’s interior in recent years have created a favourable environment for the expansion of regional aviation. In 2015, the Brazilian Government launched a program of investments in regional airports equipping them to receive commercial flights. However, the economic crisis and the scarcity of resources drive the prioritisation of projects with a greater economic and social return. This article aims to present a multicriteria decision aid (MCDA) model to measure cities’ attractiveness to receive investments in regional airports. The MCDA approach can deal with multiple indicators and different points of view and provide systematised steps for supporting decision-makers. For this purpose, we selected 12 criteria among the evaluation parameters identified in the literature, which led to the construction of the evaluation model and elaborating the ranking of the localities participating in the investment program. This study can contribute scientifically by proposing the use of an MCDA approach to support decisions related to logistics and infrastructure. It can help managers and practitioners provide a structured and systematised model to address decisions related to airport investments.

Investment decisions have great importance in different sectors of various countries and these decisions are the basis on which the outcomes of the investments are based. However, there might be certain factors that might lead to the incorrect long term and short term investment decisions. In this regard, the current study has been conducted with the core motive to explore the impact casted by the environment and potential factors i.e. salience and overconfidence on the long term investment decisions for accommodation business along with the moderation of a variable i.e. financial literacy. To fulfill this objective, the researcher has collected data from the investors of accommodation businesses in Thailand. The collected data has been subjected to different statistical techniques and tools for analysis purpose and the results have been obtained. The results obtained by the analysis of the collected data indicate that salience and overconfidence have significant impact on the long term investment decision. In addition, the moderating role of financial literacy has also been found as significant in the study. The results suggest that the investors of the accommodation business must consider the aspects of salience and overconfidence before taking any long term investment decision to avoid failure of the investment decision.

Abstract:
In this study, we investigated the factors that influence investor's propensity to invest which called investment behavior. Factors known to have an impact on individual investment decisions are psychological and cognitive errors, socioeconomic and environmental factors, and financial, economic and environmental factors. Among those factors, financial and environmental factors including the level of knowledge in terms of financial economy, harmonization of income and expenditure, and liquidity constraints are empirically investigated. Among the personal factors the liquidity constraints has been turned out to have significant impact on decision-making about investments. The findings that liquidity constraints have an impact on the investment behavior and there are differences between investment behaviors according to the purposes of investment, and the liquidity constraints has impact on them have significant meanings. Generally, investment behaviors are kinds of inherent characteristics, in other words, hard to be changed or affected. But the study results indicate that investment behaviors can be affected personal economic conditions. So, when advices or consulting regarding investments is made, not only the person’s investment behavior but also the person’s economic conditions, especially if the person is under liquidity constraints should be considered. Also, investors should take into accounts his or her economic conditions when making investment decisions.

Type of research is quantitative using financial data listed on financial statements listed on the IDX (Indonesia Stock Exchange). Investment decisions are the allocation of capital into investment proposals should be evaluated and linked to the risks and results expected to obtain a high level of return with a certain level of risk. Dividend policy is a decision on whether the profit earned will be divided as dividends or will be withheld as an upcoming investment. The Company may be distributed to shareholders as dividends or withheld in the form of retained earnings to finance the company's investments. The capital structure is the balance of the amount of short-term debt that is permanent, long-term debt, preferred shares and common shares, capital structure decisions. Profitability is revenue minus expenses and losses during the reporting period. Analysis of profitability is critical for creditors and equity investors.

Abstract:
Background Alternative approaches to analyzing and evaluating health care investments in state-of-the-art technologies are being increasingly discussed in the literature, especially with the advent of Healthcare 4.0 (H4.0) technologies or eHealth. Such investments generally involve computer hardware and software that deal with the storage, retrieval, sharing, and use of health care information, data, and knowledge for communication and decision-making. Besides, the use of these technologies significantly increases when addressed in bundles. However, a structured and holistic approach to analyzing investments in H4.0 technologies is not available in the literature. Objective This study aims to analyze previous research related to the evaluation of H4.0 technologies in hospitals and characterize the most common investment approaches used. We propose a framework that organizes the research associated with hospitals’ H4.0 technology investment decisions and suggest five main research directions on the topic. Methods To achieve our goal, we followed the standard procedure for scoping reviews. We performed a search in the Crossref, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases with the keywords investment, health, industry 4.0, investment, health technology assessment, healthcare 4.0, and smart in the title, abstract, and keywords of research papers. We retrieved 5701 publications from all the databases. After removing papers published before 2011 as well as duplicates and performing further screening, we were left with 244 articles, from which 33 were selected after in-depth analysis to compose the final publication portfolio. Results Our findings show the multidisciplinary nature of the research related to evaluating hospital investments in H4.0 technologies. We found that the most common investment approaches focused on cost analysis, single technology, and single decision-maker involvement, which dominate bundle analysis, H4.0 technology value considerations, and multiple decision-maker involvement. Conclusions Some of our findings were unexpected, given the interrelated nature of H4.0 technologies and their multidimensional impact. Owing to the absence of a more holistic approach to H4.0 technology investment decisions, we identified five promising research directions for the topic: development of economic valuation methodologies tailored for H4.0 technologies; accounting for technology interrelations in the form of bundles; accounting for uncertainties in the process of evaluating such technologies; integration of administrative, medical, and patient perspectives into the evaluation process; and balancing and handling complexity in the decision-making process.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the association between the adoption of international accounting standards and foreign investment decisions. Prior research suggests that information asymmetries between local and foreign investors and behavioral biases caused by unfamiliarity of the foreign markets contribute to investors preferring to invest in their home markets. Because one of the goals of the adoption of international accounting standards is to establish a high-quality, internationally familiar set of accounting standards, I predict that foreign investments will increase in countries that adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) after the adoption and that this increase is driven by the familiarity of IFRS. I find that foreign equity portfolio investments (FPI) increase in countries that adopt IFRS. More importantly, I find that this relation is driven by foreign investors from countries that also use IFRS. Moreover, the effect of accounting familiarity is more pronounced when investor and investee countries share language, legal origin, culture, and region. I also find that countries with lower corruption and better investor protection experience larger increases in FPI after they adopt IFRS relative to other IFRS users. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that familiar accounting information drives foreign investment decisions.

The expenditures of funds on IT has continued to expand and a significant proportion of the expenditures are hidden, unaccounted, or never evaluated in terms of the business value derived from the expenditure. This paper focuses on the methods and means of creating a link between business requirements and the IT investments that can address those requirements. An ITIM framework is proposed, which addresses three key elements of ITIM: what decisions are to be made, who should make the decisions, and how decisions are to be made and monitored. ITIM is a management process that provides for the identification (pre-selection), selection, control, and evaluation of business driven IT investments across the investment lifecycle. ITIM uses structured processes to minimize risks and maximize return on investments. Additionally, a high-level ITIM implementation plan is discussed.

Abstract:
An important precondition for the economic development of Ukraine is the inflow of investment capital in the context of market transformations. For its part, it is possible to satiate the economy of the country with investments only in conditions of stable development of this country, because the main condition for the investor is to avoid the capital loss. For this purpose, scientists create rating systems of investment attractiveness, which allow choosing the best investment object. Obviously, it is desirable to take into account the research results of the investment attractiveness of a country, region or industry for a successful investment project. The purpose of article is to analyze the existing methods for determining the investment attractiveness of the economy, develop a rating system of investment attractiveness of a number of the Ukrainian economy sectors and provide recommendations for increasing the investment attractiveness of the sectors of the national economy. It is used the methods and approaches such as analysis, synthesis, dialectical, systemic and comparative methods which allowed to implement the research. In a study it is described a methodology for determining the investment attractiveness of a country, region and industry. The investment attractiveness of the branches of the Ukrainian economy was investigated. The problems were identified and the rating systems of investment attractiveness of the Ukrainian economy branches was compiled. Recommendations for increasing the investment attractiveness of the national economy were given. The research of the investment attractiveness of the economy sectors will identify existing problems in attracting investments and help with their solution. The development of rating systems of investment attractiveness of the Ukrainian economy sectors will help to attract more investments, and investors could choose the best option for investing. The implementation of these recommendations will help to improve the rating of Ukraine's investment attractiveness.
