Liow, Kim H. "Property policy, property asset values and share prices for property intensive companies." Thesis, University of Manchester, 1994. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.633026.
Full textAbstract:
This research explores several issues and problems associated with the perception of corporate property assets held by stock market investors. Our primary aim is to examine whether the market views property as an important corporate asset from the perspectives of valuation and strategy. For most non-property companies, property has been treated and managed merely as a factor of production with little judgement about how it is expensed or valued - often it is carried in the balance sheet for a fraction of its current market value. Further, its role in the corporate financial statements has not been understood. Given that property is a sizable asset in the balance sheets of some non-property companies, and that there are possibly two (distinct) markets at work - one for property and one for corporate equities, our concern is whether property is valued by the stock market on a different basis from its market value and whether the book value of property in company accounts differs sufficiently from either valuation to allow profitable intervention, through change in control, revaluation, acquisition and disposal or refinancing. From the strategy viewpoint, the existence of a strategy for the property market can help "property-intensive" companies arbitrage the difference between property asset value and share price. This is operationalised through various types of incremental property investment/divestiture which alter the property asset intensity of the companies. Our investigation is mainly concerned with detecting any significant abnormal return consequences in respect of revisions in property asset intensity through acquisitions, disposals and revaluations and their financial implications. 13 Our evidence appears to suggest that property asset intensity is an important factor in corporate financial management. In particular, it can significantly affect the corporate financial structure and risk-return perfonnance of "property-intensive" companies. Since its importance has not been fully reflected in current share price through property valuation, there are opportunities for retailers and other "property-intensive" companies to earn higher positive abnonnal returns and raise the stock market's valuation of their properties through incremental transactions in the property market. We further discover that the decisions of retailers to acquire/dispose of properties and their choice of valuation base for property can be partially influenced by the prevailing financial conditions of the companies. This further suggests that the intensity value of property has a role to play in corporate financial strategy. Finally, our strategic property valuation framework fonnalises the arbitrage relationship between property asset values and company share prices in the context of core business and explores profitable strategies for retailers to pursue in the property market. We do not pretend to answer all the questions raised. Within the sphere of Corporate real estate management, the methods and evidence reported in this research can be the basis for further study in the empirical literature related to the synthesis of property and fmancial asset" valuation and management in the UK corporate environment.

Full textAbstract:
When 3D properties were introduced in Swedish legislation it was considered not necessary to also introduce new methods for property interactions. This has led to property owners wanting as little interactions as possible, where easements are the preferred solution over joint facilities when interactions are necessary. Property interactions is regarded as something negative that hinder efficient property management. Developments in Sweden are moving towards more complicated types of 3D-property complexes where commercial properties are mixed with residential units, the question is whether the current system of property interactions is optimal from an efficient property management perspective. The aim of this thesis is to examine property interactions in 3D-property complexes and how efficient property management can be achieved by property interactions. This is done by comparing the methods of property interaction in Swedish 3D-property complexes and Australian Part Strata-property complexes. In Part Strata a complex is managed as a unit. All stakeholders are bound by a management statement, and a management committee who manages the complex according to the rules stated in the management statement. Two case studies and relevant interviews were conducted in order to compare the systems and examine whether the Swedish system should take lessons from the Australian system. The two case studies were the Mall of Scandinavia-complex in Stockholm, Sweden and the Central Park East-complex in Sydney, Australia. The results show that there are several advantages of property interactions affecting property management in a positive way for all stakeholders in a complex. The key factors include efficient coordination and lower operating and maintenance costs. The conclusion is therefore that Swedish 3D-property complexes should take lessons from the Part Strata system and adopt a management committee and management statement.När 3D-fastigheter infördes i svensk lagstiftning ansågs det inte nödvändigt att även införa nya metoder för att underlätta samverkan mellan 3D-fastigheter. Detta har lett till att fastighetsägare vill ha så lite samverkan som möjligt och föredrar servitut framför gemensamhetsanläggningar. Fastighetssamverkan anses som något negativt som hindrar effektiv fastighetsförvaltning inom den egna fastigheten. Utvecklingen i Sverige går mot mer komplicerade typer av komplex där kommersiella ytor blandas med bostäder, frågan är om det nuvarande systemet för fastighetssamverkan är optimalt ur ett effektiv fastighetsförvaltningsperspektiv. Denna uppsats ämnar att undersöka fastighetssamverkan i 3D-fastighetskomplex och hur effektiv fastighetsförvaltning kan uppnås genom fastighetssamverkan. Detta görs genom att jämföra hur fastighetssamverkan fungerar i svenska 3D-fastighetskomplex och australiska Part Strata-fastighetskomplex. I Part Strata förvaltas ett komplex som en enhet. Samtliga parter i ett komplex är bundna av ett kontrakt samt en övergripande förvaltningsförening som förvaltar komplexet enligt de regler som finns i kontraktet. Två fallstudier med tillhörande intervjuer gjordes för att kunna jämföra systemen och undersöka om det svenska systemet bör ta lärdomar från det australiska systemet. De undersökta fallstudierna var Mall of Scandinavia-komplexet i Stockholm och Central Park East-komplexet i Sydney. Resultaten från denna studie visar att det finns flera fördelar med fastighetssamverkan som påverkar fastighetsförvaltningen positivt för samtliga parter. Detta genom en effektiv samordning och lägre driftkostnader. Slutsatsen blir därför att svenska 3D-fastighetskomplex bör ta lärdomar från Part Strata genom att anamma en övergripande förvaltningsförening och kontrakt.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (LLD)--University of Stellenbosch, 2011.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The question that this dissertation addresses is which immaterial property interests may be recognised and protected under the constitutional property clause and if so, under which circumstances. The question originated in the First Certification case 1 where the court held that the constitutional property clause is wide enough to include property interests that require protection according to international norms. The traditional immaterial property interests or intellectual property rights (patents, copyright, designs and trademarks) are protected as property in private law on a sui generis basis. Since it is generally accepted that the property concept in constitutional law includes at least property rights protected in private law, it is relatively unproblematic to include intellectual property rights under the constitutional property clause. In Laugh It Off v SAB International,2 the Constitutional Court explicitly balanced the right to a trademark with the right to freedom of expression, which is accepted as authority that at least trademarks may be recognised and protected as constitutional property. The other intellectual property rights may most likely be recognised and protected by analogy. Foreign law as well as international law also indicates that intellectual property should be recognised and protected as constitutional property. However, there are other, unconventional immaterial property interests that are not protected as property in private law. Some are protected in private law, but not as property; others originate in public law; and yet others are not protected yet at all. In terms of the Constitution, South African courts may consider foreign law, but must consider international law. This dissertation determines when these interests may be protected as constitutional property by reference to foreign cases from German, American, Australian and Irish law; regional international law, namely European Union cases; and international law. The conclusion is that unconventional immaterial property interests may generally be protected if they are vested and acquired in terms of normal law, have patrimonial value and serve the general purpose of constitutional property protection. Property theories are also useful to determine when immaterial property interests deserve constitutional protection, although other theories may be more useful for some of the unconventional interests. The German scaling approach and the balancing of competing interests is a useful approach for South African courts to help determine the appropriate level of protection for specific immaterial property interests without excluding some at the outset.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die vraag waarmee hierdie verhandeling handel is of belange in immateriële goedere erken en beskerm kan word in terme van die grondwetlike eiendomsklousule en indien wel, onder watter omstandighede. Die vraag het sy ontstaan in die First Certification saak,3 waar die Grondwetlike Hof beslis het dat die eiendomsklousule se omvang wyd genoeg is om belange in eiendom in te sluit wat volgens internasionale norme beskerming verg. Sekere regte in immateriële goedere word op ’n sui generis basis in die privaatreg beskerm, naamlik die regte in tradisionele immaterieelgoederereg kategorieë of intellektuele eiendom (patente, kopiereg, ontwerpe en handelsmerke). Dit is 'n algemene beginsel van grondwetlike eiendomsreg dat die konsep van eiendom minstens belange insluit wat as eiendom in die privaatreg beskerm word. In Laugh It Off v SAB International4 het die Grondwetlike Hof 'n handelsmerkreg opgeweeg teen die reg op vryheid van uitdrukking en hierdeur implisiet erken dat minstens handelsmerke en dalk ook ander intellektuele eindemsregte deur die eiendomsklousule erken en beskerm kan word. Buitelandse reg sowel as internasionale reg dui aan dat intellektuele eiendom grondwetlike beskerming behoort te ontvang. Buiten hierdie belange is daar ook immaterieelgoederereg belange wat nie onder eiendomsreg beskerm word in die privaatreg nie. Sommige van hierdie belange word wel in die privaatreg beskerm, maar dan onder ander areas van die reg as eiendom; ander het hul oorsprong in die publiekreg; en die res word tans glad nie beskerm nie. Die Grondwet bepaal dat howe buitelandse reg in ag kan neem en dat hulle internasionale reg moet oorweeg. Die verhandeling se vraag word beantwoord met verwysing na sake uit die Duitse, Amerikaanse, Australiese en Ierse grondwetlike reg; streeks-internasionale reg van die Europese Unie; en internasionale reg. Die onkonvensionele immaterieelgoederereg belange kan oor die algemeen beskerm word as eiendom indien daar 'n gevestigde reg is, die reg in terme van gewone reg verkry is en die belang die algemene oogmerke van die grondwetlike klousule bevorder. Die teorieë oor die beskerming van eiendom is van nut om te bepaal watter belange beskerm kan word, alhoewel sekere onkonvensionele belange beter geregverdig kan word deur ander tipes teorieë. Die Duitse metode om belange op te weeg kan van besonderse nut wees vir Suid Afrikaanse howe om te bepaal watter vlak van beskerming spesifieke belange in immaterieelgoedere behoort te geniet.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the concepts of copyright law and property within a digital setting, whilst focusing on the way that technology and law have influenced both copyright law and property law. In examining the relationship between copyright and property law, this thesis focuses on the effects of Digital Rights Management (“DRM”) and End User License Agreements (“EULAs”), specifically their impact on the property rights of consumers who have purchased digital property.
Due to advances in technology, copyright holders have begun to sell copyrighted works through digital channels. The threat of digital piracy has resulted in copyright holders in adopting stringent DRM systems and EULAs in order to safeguard their works, which subsequently has resulted in consumers’ property rights being adversely affected as a result thereof.
To further complicate matters, as the doctrine of first sale only applies to a consumer who has acquired ownership of a work, copyright holders have utilised EULAs in order to bypass the application of the doctrine of first sale to transactions with consumers through digital means. Thus, this thesis examines whether it is possible to find a way where the doctrine of first sale could possibly apply to digital property, in spite of the existence of DRM and EULAs.
The aim of this thesis is to seek a solution to the problem of the imbalance that exists between physical and digital property, in other words, the achievement of parity or functional equivalence between the two types of property.Mini Dissertation (LLM)--University of Pretoria 2015.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates the impact floods on property values using the hedonic property price approach and other relevant econometric techniques. The main objectives of this research are to investigate (1) the impact of the release of flood-risk information and the actual floods on property values (2) the temporal behaviour of negative impacts (3) the property submarket behaviour (4) the behaviour of flood affected vs flood non-affected areas and (5) the property market efficiency.
The thesis expanded on the existing literature on natural disasters by applying a range of econometric techniques. Findings of this research are useful for policy decision-making which is aimed at minimizing the negative impacts of natural hazards on property markets. The thesis findings also provide a better framework for decision-making in the property insurance market. The methodological improvements that are made in the thesis will be invaluable for analysing the impacts of natural hazards elsewhere.

Ridley, III Knox. "Property without Government." Digital Archive @ GSU, 2007. http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/philosophy_theses/24.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents a two part criticism to Liam Murphy and Thomas Nagel’s book, The Myth of Ownership, in which they attempt to argue that it is logically impossible that one can have any entitlement to their pretax income. The first criticism addresses their claim that based on a politically charged understanding of human nature you cannot have property without government. Through the fields of psychology, biology and anthropology, an overlap is found that presents human nature in such a way that presents a serious hurdle to the Murphy and Nagel position. The second criticism addresses their failure to define the scope of government in their book. In light of cultures that have a strong conception of property, Murphy and Nagel are charged with equivocating on the definition of government in order to make their argument hold. The conclusion reached is that based on current research pertaining to human nature and a brief anthropological study, the existence of government is not needed in order to have property within a community.

Full textAbstract:
This work aims at advancing the scientific understanding of the real property processes stimulating the Belarusian property market specifically in order to promote its development. For a property market to operate efficiently, real properties ought to be able to be smoothly created and securely transferred with the aid of real property processes. These processes, after being implemented, generate transaction costs for a society, while the ways by which they are arranged can increase or decrease such costs. This research applies institutions as a theoretical ground with the transaction costs theory as a core concept for the examination of the selected property processes, resulting in a body of new knowledge on the relations between institutions, property processes and transaction costs. This study specifically investigates property formation and purchase processes in Slovenia, Sweden and Belarus through an ontological modelling supported by their descriptions. It additionally explores the content of property rights along with the existing real property legislation of the selected countries, as such are recognised as components influencing real property processes. Consequently, general descriptions of the land tenure systems of these three countries and a classification of fundamental property rights are presented. The examined property processes are compared in order to identify differences and thereby generally enrich the theoretical knowledge in the land administration domain. This comparison is based on the transaction costs generated by the specific real property processes and relatively estimated by this research with a focus on the stakeholders involved, their functions and interactions. This study places its main emphasis on property formation and property purchase processes in Belarus, while corresponding property processes of selected European countries are taken as benchmarks for new approaches. This research results in proposing simplified property processes for Belarus that may sensibly be established with the long-term aim of facilitating the functioning of the national property market and thereby economising as to transaction costs. In conclusion, the property market of Belarus would benefit from a simplification of the real property processes by utilising international practices while, however, not disregarding national peculiarities.QC 20120525

Intellectual property lock-in is a wicked problem particularly pervasive under monopsony market structures, such as the Department of Defense (DoD). However, little research exists on the mechanisms of action that induce intellectual property lock-in. This work postulates the conjuncture of architecture and intellectual property is one such mechanism of action and erects a research methodology to investigate this link. This dissertation began with a review of literature, which revealed more research is needed into basic trends or estimates of magnitude for intellectual property lock-in. To quantitatively frame the magnitude of the problem an investigation was conducted into all DoD contracts for the last eight fiscal years to establish bounds. These results were used to formulate a conceptual model of the problem and suggest the concept of intellectual property architecture, which is the conjuncture of architecture and intellectual property. To investigate links between intellectual property architecture and lock-in, an intermediate-N fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis research approach was formulated and executed using 14 DoD software cases representing over 34 million lines of code. The model used three input conditions: high quality technical architecture, accessible intellectual property architecture, and unlimited rights to study the avoidance of lock-in. The fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis concluded intellectual property architecture or unlimited rights were quasi-necessary conditions for the avoidance of lock-in. Additionally the model yielded both a five condition conservative expression and two condition parsimonious expression for sufficient conditions. From those expressions, this research concludes three direct findings. First, intellectual property architecture is an empirically supported mechanism of action for the avoidance of lock-in. Implying, intellectual property architecture, absent any other explanatory conditions, is sufficient to avoid lock-in. Second, the research herein finds evidence to support a novel taxonomy of intellectual property architectures. Allowing practitioners to understand potential trade-offs between architecture and intellectual property lock-in. Third, intellectual property architecture or unlimited rights is a theoretically supported expression for the avoidance of lock-in. This finding implies that as few as two conditions are required to understand whether a case may, or may not, avoid lock-in.

Full textAbstract:
Whilst the development of irrigation infrastructure has been proposed as a vehicle for poverty reduction in many developing countries, the distributional aspects of irrigation interventions, particularly households' level of access to irrigation water have rarely been explored. Furthermore, previous empirical studies on irrigation performance have been overtly objective and technical with little regard to farmers' needs and concerns. The premise of this is that 'objectivity' is a necessary but insufficient measure of access to irrigation water. In addition to this, whilst irrigation interventions have had some success in ensuring access to water for crop cultivation, the impact of such interventions have been varied amongst irrigation governed by different property right regimes. In response to these concerns, this multidisciplinary study uses mixed methodologies of data collection and analysis to explore a subjective measure of households' access to water from irrigation systems managed by different property right regimes. Using a case study approach, an in-depth institutional analysis of the three irrigation systems has been carried out to identify institutional factors which contributed to unequal level of access to irrigation water. The findings demonstrate that households' level of access to water is influenced by socio-economic status, the physical nature of the canal systems and institutional characteristics of the management regimes. The results from the quantitative analysis reveal a clear pattern of differentiated access to water in irrigation systems under different property right regimes. The results indicate that the tail-enders, female-headed households, dalits and small farmers appear to have weak access to water from the canals. However, farmers along these heterogeneities have different levels of access to water in irrigation systems governed by different property right regimes with farmers in the farmers managed irrigation system performing significantly better than the agency managed and jointly managed irrigation systems. The thesis concludes that institutional dimensions should be taken into consideration by policymakers in order to ensure better access to water in irrigation interventions.

Thesis, Karlstad University, Faculty of Economic Sciences, Communication and IT, 2007. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kau:diva-1074.
Full textAbstract:
On January 1, 2005 a new accounting standard became the valid standard for all listed companies within the EU and among them the property companies. This means that the real estate business now appraise their property holdings at fair value, using the IAS 40 – Investment Property standard.
The new IAS/IFRS standards opens up for a more subjective judgment, and appraisal at fair value is used to a greater extent. An important problem which should be acknowledged when appraising properties at fair value is the uncertainty that the appraisal is associated with.
A description whether the property companies use the sales comparison approach or the income approach when appraising their property holdings have been given. And by reading annual reports and sending questionnaires to the listed property companies on the Swedish market a study has been made about how properties are appraised. Another aim was to find out if the standard has led to an increased comparability and a true and fair view.
In the frame of reference, information taken from annual reports and other literature has been presented, in order to form statements further on. The types of references used are accounting concepts, standards and models of appraisal. A number of definitions as well as the meaning of having an appraisal made internally and externally have been discussed.
The frame of reference is then followed by the empirical studies, where information derived from the annual reports has been combined with information provided by the respondents to our questionnaires. The respondents are not only represented by 13 companies but also by two auditors and Bo Nordlund, who is doing research within this field.
The result of the study is first of all that the cash flow model is the one used by all companies, whereas the sales comparison approach is used only to estimate certain components in the cash flow model. Secondly, property appraisal will always be surrounded by a high degree of subjectivity and uncertainty. This is why we question the expression ‘fair value’, will it ever be possible to reach a fair value when appraising?

Full textAbstract:
The reconciliation of patents within the Taiwanese Law of Things has received negligible attention from legal scholars. The primary reason for this is the hesitation, by courts and scholars alike, to construct a new property paradigm, referring instead to treat patents under the existing rules on physical things. This dominating stance has had an impact on the manner in which Taiwanese courts adjudicate on the nature of patents, and dealings therewith. The aim of the thesis is to show that this stance is theoretically illogical. The underlying issue is the different classification of patents within the civil and common law systems. The study employs a historical and comparative law methodology in order to inform an intra-law solution to the problem of how to overcome the classification dilemma. It does this by critically analysing the evolution of patent categorisation as personal property in common law and, by employing this foundation, seeks to distinguish the substantial differences in the concept of property between the common and civil law traditions. In light of these differences, and to establish a consolidated way of reconciling patents into the current Taiwanese legal framework, the thesis further analyses the similarity of the property notion under English common law and Taiwanese customary law, both of which are shaped by exclusion rules. The hypothesis is that ownership of land within these two systems, in similar with that of patents, was not an absolute and outright ownership of land governed by inclusion rules, but was instead a freehold which granted intangible rights that could be divided by the duration of the holding. It is suggested that a theoretically more coherent property model can be achieved by adopting this approach, and analogising patents to the tenure systems that existed within both English common law and Taiwanese customary law. To this end, the thesis proposes to contextually rebuild the property model for patents within Taiwanese law by the insertion of five new reform clauses into the Patent Act and the Civil Code.

Full textAbstract:
The discoveries of materials property-property correlations usually require prior knowledge or serendipity, the process of which can be time-consuming, costly, and labour-intensive. On the other hand, artificial neural networks (ANNs) are intelligent and scalable modelling techniques that have been used extensively to predict properties from materials’ composition or processing parameters, but are seldom used in exploring materials property-property correlations. The work presented in this thesis has employed ANNs combinatorial searches to explore the correlations of different materials properties, through which, ‘known’ correlations are verified, and ‘unknown’ correlations are revealed. An evaluation criterion is proposed and demonstrated to be useful in identifying nontrivial correlations. The work has also extended the application of ANNs in the fields of data corrections, property predictions and identifications of variables’ contributions. A systematic ANN protocol has been developed and tested against the known correlating equations of elastic properties and the experimental data, and is found to be reliable and effective to correct suspect data in a complicated situation where no prior knowledge exists. Moreover, the hardness increments of pure metals due to HPT are accurately predicted from shear modulus, melting temperature and Burgers vector. The first two variables are identified to have the largest impacts on hardening. Finally, a combined ANN-SR (symbolic regression) method is proposed to yield parsimonious correlating equations by ruling out redundant variables through the partial derivatives method and the connection weight approach, which are based on the analysis of the ANNs weight vectors. By applying this method, two simple equations that are at least as accurate as other models in providing a rapid estimation of the enthalpies of vaporization for compounds are obtained.

CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICODesenvolvemos na presente tese uma análise de aspectos lógicos e ontológicos concernentes à negação, em especial, aqueles referentes à existência e natureza de propriedades negadas e à relação entre negação e diferença. Partindo da concepção de acordo com a qual propriedades, em contraposição a objetos, são aquelas entidades que correspondem a predicados, propomos uma concepção de propriedades e da relação entre estas e predicados. A seguir, examinamos a distinção entre sujeito e predicado, procurando tornar clara a extensão da noção de propriedade, em particular, se e em que medida podemos afirmar que existem propriedades logicamente complexas como propriedades da forma não-F. Por fim, investigamos o que são propriedades negadas, com ênfase na relação entre as noções de negação, propriedade negada e diferença. Ao longo de nosso trabalho procuramos desenvolver uma concepção de propriedade, negação e propriedade negada partindo da premissa - poucas vezes considerada - de que propriedades são condições de aplicação de predicados e não simplesmente a denotação ou referência de expressões predicativas. Como conseqüência, a noção de propriedade desenvolvida por nós possui estreita ligação não somente com a noção de verdade como também com as noções de falsidade e diferença. Lançamos, assim, uma nova perspectiva sobre a noção de propriedade de acordo com a qual a aceitação de propriedades negadas e sua análise em termos de diferença são desdobramentos naturais da noção geral de propriedade.
In this thesis we develop an analysis of the logical and ontological aspects of negation, and especially, those associated with the existence and nature of negated properties and the relationship between negation and difference. From the idea that properties - contrary to objects - are those entities which correspond to predicates, we offer an understanding of properties and of the relationship between them and predicates. After that, we discuss the distinction between subject and predicate, trying to make clear the scope of the notion of predicate, and if, and to what extent, we can acknowledge the existence of logically complex properties like non-F proprieties. Lastly, we inquire into the nature of denied properties, emphasizing the relationship between the notions of negation, denied property, and difference. Throughout our work we tried to develop a conception of property, negation, and denied property, taking for granted the premise - rarely taken into account - that properties are applicability conditions of predicates, and not merely their denotation or reference. Consequently, the notion of property we have developed is connected not only with the notion of truth, but also with the notions of falsity and difference. Hence, we launch a new perspective over the notion of property, according to which the acceptance of denied properties and the analysis of denied properties in terms of difference are natural consequences of the general notion of property.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, we study two different kinds of approximation of plurisubharmonic functions. The first one is a Mergelyan type approximation for plurisubharmonic functions. That is, we study which domains in C^n have the property that every continuous plurisubharmonic function can be uniformly approximated with continuous and plurisubharmonic functions defined on neighborhoods of the domain. We will improve a result by Fornaess and Wiegerinck and show that domains with C^0-boundary have this property. We will also use the notion of plurisubharmonic functions on compact sets when trying to characterize those continuous and plurisubharmonic functions that can be approximated from outside. Here a new kind of convexity of a domain comes in handy, namely those domains in C^n that have a negative exhaustion function that is plurisubharmonic on the closure. For these domains, we prove that it is enough to look at the boundary values of a plurisubharmonic function to know whether it can be approximated from outside. The second type of approximation is the following: we want to approximate functions u that are defined on bounded hyperconvex domains Omega in C^n and have essentially boundary values zero and bounded Monge-Ampère mass, with increasing sequences of certain functions u_j that are defined on strictly larger domains. We show that for certain conditions on Omega, this is always possible. We also generalize this to functions with given boundary values. The main tool in the proofs concerning this second approximation is subextension of plurisubharmonic functions.

Full textAbstract:
Standards are complex phenomena that exist in almost every area of human life, whether in the form of language, stock scenes in literature and films, computer user interfaces or protocols that allow data transfer over the internet. They are important building blocks for any form of human activity. Property rights in standards, provided by the laws of intellectual property, can foster their development by giving incentives to create technologies or works that are capable to become standards; but property rights can also impede further innovation since they allow the owner to exclude others from the use of the protected standard. Furthermore, standards are perceived to offer higher returns in form of royalties than "regular" technologies. In this context, standardization has been used as an argument to reduce the scope of protection for standard technologies with respect to computer user interfaces.The thesis evaluates the soundness of a general argument of standardization for weaker protection in intellectual property law. It elaborates the arguments that are put forward to justify weaker protection in standards regarding the characteristics of standards and standardization as well as the justifications for intellectual property. It analyses the applicability of trademark, copyright and patent law to both already existing as well as developing standards. In particular, the concepts of genericness and descriptiveness in trademark law, the merger and scenes a faire doctrines in copyright law and the doctrines of patent misuse and patent abuse in patent law are discussed.

Jersey law, and within it Jersey property law, has received little academic attention. This thesis seeks to examine, and provide a systematic account of, the Jersey law of property. Specific aspects of substantive law are explored. From these, general observations about the nature and structure of property law are made. Unsurprisingly, given the small size of the island, Jersey has a relatively limited amount of indigenous legal material to offer, much of it in French. Inevitably, there are gaps in the sources and some way of addressing these has to be determined before a systematic account of the law is possible. Juristic writing and modern caselaw demonstrate consistent recourse to the laws of other jurisdictions when gaps are encountered. Norman law, modern French law, and English law (to a much lesser extent and mainly where it conforms to Roman law) are used in the cases on property law, and thus also in this thesis. Reference is also made to the law of Guernsey (Jersey’s sister jurisdiction) but the difficulties encountered in researching Jersey law are no less evident there. In areas such as the law of servitudes, Roman law is often referred to explicitly by the Jersey jurists and by the commentators on Norman law. The influence of Roman law is also evident in the division between real rights and personal rights, sometimes barely visible in Jersey law, and is also a general backdrop to the rules on classification of things. Norman feudal law remains vestigially in place but the structure of the law and its individual rules bear many civilian characteristics. For this reason, in addition to Jersey sources, Norman law, modern French law, and any other materials used by the courts, other jurisdictions with civilian systems of property law are also referred to, specifically mixed jurisdictions, of which Jersey is one.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This dissertation analyses and investigates how virtual property functions inside virtual worlds. It also determines if, within that context, virtual property is similar to, or should be treated like real world property. The questions that are addressed include the following. What is the (real world) legal status of property in virtual worlds? Is it worthwhile to recognise and protect virtual property in real world law? Is it possible to recognise and protect virtual property in real world law, given the differences? Would recognition and protection of virtual property in real world law require or be restricted to instances where virtual property is or can be recognised as real rights? The dissertation finds that there is a definable concept of “virtual property” as it is encountered in virtual worlds and there is a great degree of similarity between the function of property in virtual and real world systems. There are also sufficient justifications (social, economic and normative) to recognise virtual property as property. Even though the function of property is similar in both systems, the similarities are undermined by the absence, complete or almost complete, of real rights in virtual worlds. This creates a problem since, in real world law, real rights enjoy stronger protection than weaker personal rights. The first reason for this absence of real rights stems from the unique (and mostly uncircumventable) nature of game-code that removes the necessity to make all rights in virtual worlds real rights. The second reason relates to the fact that most virtual world rights are completely derived from and regulated by contract. It is concluded that it is possible to recognise and protect virtual property by means of traditional private law property law (both Roman-Germanic and Anglo-American), constitutional property law, and criminal law. While criminal law will fill some gaps left by the absence of real rights, the rest that are left are contractual rights. In certain circumstances, these contractual rights may be strong enough and in other cases they may require support from special legislation that strengthens weak personal rights and makes them into stronger property-like rights. In constitutional cases, these rights derive support from constitutional property law. However, in other circumstances recognition and protection will probably require recognition of real rights.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie proefskrif analiseer en ondersoek hoe virtuele eiendom in virtuele wêrelde werk. Dit gee ʼn oorsig oor die vraag of virtuele eiendom, in daardie konteks, vergelykbaar is met eiendom in die regte wêreld en dieselfde erkenning moet ontvang. Die volgende vrae word gestel en beantwoord. Wat is die (regte wêreld-) status van eiendom in ʼn virtuele wêreld? Is dit die moeite werd om virtuele eiendom in die regte wêreld-regstelsels te erken en te beskerm? Is dit moontlik om virtuele eiendom in die regte wêreld te erken en beskerm, gegewe die verskille? Sal erkenning en beskerming van virtuele eiendom in die regte wêreld-regstelsels vereis dat, of beperk word tot gevalle waar virtuele eiendom geïdentifiseer of erken word as saaklike regte? Die navorsing toon aan dat daar ʼn bepaalde konsep van virtuele eiendom is soos wat dit in virtuele wêrelde gevind word. Daar is ook ʼn merkbare ooreenkoms tussen die eiendomstelsels in die virtuele en regte wêrelde. Hierdie proefskrif bevind dat daar genoegsame regverdigingsgronde is (sosiaal, ekonomies, sowel as normatief) om regte wêreld-eiendomserkenning aan virtuele eiendom te verskaf. Alhoewel die funksie van eiendom dieselfde is in beide stelsels, word die ooreenkomste tussen hulle ondermyn deur die (algehele of amper algehele) tekort aan saaklike regte in die virtuele wêreld. Dit veroorsaak probleme, aangesien saaklike regte in die regte wêreld aansienlik sterker beskerming geniet as swakker persoonlike regte. Die redes vir hierdie tekort aan saaklike regte in ʼn virtuele wêreld is tweeledig. Eerstens veroorsaak die unieke aard van rekenaar-kode ʼn tekort aan saaklike regte binne die virtuele wêreld, aangesien die kode die bestaan van saaklike regte in meeste gevalle onnodig maak. Tweedens word meeste van die regte wat verkry word en bestaan in virtuele wêrelde geskep en gereguleer deur middel van kontrak. Daar word ook bevind dat dit moontlik is om aan virtuele eiendom erkenning en beskerming te gee deur middel van tradisionele privaatregtelike eiendom (beide Romeins-Germaans en Anglo-Amerikaans), konstitusionele eiendom en die strafreg. Strafreg kan egter slegs sekere gapings vul wat deur die tekort aan saaklike regte veroorsaak word. Die oorblywende regte sal egter persoonlike regte wees. In sekere omstandighede is dit moontlik dat hierdie persoonlike regte sterk genoeg sal wees, maar in ander gevalle sal dit nodig wees dat hul ondersteun word deur middel van die proklamasie van spesiale wetgewing wat swak persoonlike regte in die virtuele eiendom versterk tot eiendoms-agtige regte. In ander gevalle geniet hierdie regte beskerming deur die konstitusionele reg. In ander omstandighede sal dit egter verg dat erkenning en beskerming moet plaasvind deur die erkenning van saaklike regte in virtuele eiendom.

Full textAbstract:
What property institutions should be taken to characterize a society which is, by Rawlsian standards, just? The aim of my thesis is to answer this question. The thesis does so by focusing on three central questions of property and Rawlsian justice. The first is whether Rawlsian political philosophy should include a basic right to privately own or be eligible to privately own personal property. The second is whether Rawlsian political philosophy should include a basic right to privately own or be eligible to privately own productive property. The third is whether Rawlsian political philosophy should defend - on grounds other than a commitment to basic rights - the claim that all citizens should have a stake in the means of production. I answer these questions by doing two things. Firstly, I develop an account of what basic property rights a Rawlsian account of justice should include. With respect to the things normally taken to fall under a basic right to personal property - housing and personal items - I argue that Rawlsian justice should include a basic right to rent, rather than to own, these things. In the thesis, I spell out what a basic right to rent should be taken to consist in. I also argue that Rawlsian justice should not be understood to include a basic right to productive property of any sort. Secondly, I argue that Rawlsian political philosophy should not defend - on grounds other than a commitment to basic rights - the claim that all citizens should have a stake in the means of production. In making these arguments, the thesis claims that the Rawlsian view, properly understood, places less overall emphasis on the importance of ownership than has often been thought.

Property involves the possibility for men tocontrol their surroundings. Part of this control involves the exclusion of others from the benefits produced by their controlled goods.The possibility to exclude or not to excludeothers allows or prevents an efficient use of goods. So the tragedy of the commons ariseswhen there are no rights of exclusion; and the tragedy of anticommons, where there is anexcess of exclusion rights.In this article, the author makes a complete analysis of the tragedy of commons and anticommons, in relation with property rights, pointing out the differences and similarities between both of them, their presence in everyday life and their relevance in our legal system.La propiedad nace con la posibilidad del hombre de controlar aquello que lo rodea.

Full textAbstract:
Religion and post-communist transition are two of the many issues that have earned attention of economists and social scientist in the recent decades. This dissertation collects three papers dealing with different issues concerning religion and the transition. The first one attempts to assess the role of religion in the transition and its impact on country's success in this process; it also outlines opportunities for research in this field. The second paper tries to uncover the role of religion in formation of economic and social attitudes of the people in post-communist countries. Both papers conclude that religion matters; Western Christianity appears to be more compatible with market economy than Orthodox Christianity and Islam, although these two religions are not necessarily an obstacle. Finally, the third paper deals with religious participation in post-communist countries. It shows that religious behavior is not completely independent of economic conditions and religious revivals in the post-communist era can be interpreted in economic terms.

Afin d’assurer des garanties sécuritaires des applications binaires, des analyses et vérifications doivent avoir lieu au niveau binaire. Ces analyses et vérifications nécessitent des propriétés de sécurité ou fonctionnelles des applications. Il est donc nécessaire de transporter et transposer ces propriétés portant sur le code source au niveau du code compilé. La préservation de propriétés tout au long du flot de compilation est un problème difficile à cause des optimisations qui réorganisent les calculs ou éliminent les variables inutiles. Cette thèse présente des approches permettant de propager et préserver des propriétés tout au long d’un flot de compilation optimisant sans modifier les passes d’optimisation du compilateur. Dans l’implémentation dans LLVM, les propriétés sont émises dans le code binaire sous forme d’information de débug DWARF permettant leur utilisation par des outils d’analyse binaire. Les mécanismes proposés peuvent être utilisés pour préserver des protections insérées dans le code source tout en activant les optimisations du compilateurIn order to ensure security guarantees of binary applications, program analyses and verifications have to be performed at the binary level. These analyses and verifications require various security or functional properties about the program being analyzed. It is thus necessary to propagate these properties,usually expressed in the source level, down to binary code. However, preserving these properties throughout the optimizing compilation flow is hard due to code optimizations which reorder computations or eliminate unused variables. This thesis presents different approaches to preserve and propagate program properties throughout the optimizing compilation flow with minimal changes to individual transformation passes. In the implementations in LLVM, properties are emitted into executable binaries as DWARF debug information, which can next beused by binary analysis tools. Our mechanisms can be applied to address the problem of preserving security protections inserted at the source level, compiled with optimizations enabled

Full textAbstract:
An efficient property and credit market can be used by a government of a country to empower its citizens to achieve sustainable development. To improve the property and credit market government needs to ensure that its land records contain information that is beneficial to the actors in both the property and credit market. Studies have shown that land records in Uganda experience problems which have affected the property and credit market. The Government of Uganda has had attempts to solve these problems and one of the recent efforts include computerization of the land records. However the aspect of the information content and its adequacy for the property and credit markets has not attracted much attention. Therefore this research investigated the content of the real property register in relation to the requirement of the property and credit market in Uganda. The main aim of the research was to develop a model of a real property register that supports both the property and credit market in Uganda. The research established the needs of the different actors in the property and credit market. Based on the analysis of the needs of the property and credit market in Uganda, the gaps in the information provided by the current real property register were identified. The research methods included literature review, interviews, and questionnaires. Furthermore the registers were inspected at the different land offices. A conceptual model of a real property register was designed based on the information needs of actors and gaps in the current real property register. The study revealed that the basic information required by the property and credit market included information on size of the property, location, occupancy rights, easements, regulations among others. Although things such as location and size are there, easements, occupancy rights and public restrictions are not there. This has impacted negatively on the property and credit market by contributing to land speculation, insecure rights, high transaction costs, prolonged transactions, high information costs, principle agent problems, land grabbing, land conflicts among others. The study recommended that the current register should be remodelled to include the vital information such as easements, occupancy rights and public regulation that is needed by actors in the property and credit market. The register should be dynamic and create incentives to have people register the land.Effektiva fastighets- och kreditmarknader kan användas av en regering i ett land för att stödja sina medborgare att uppnå en hållbar utveckling. För att förbättra fastighet- och kreditmarknaderna måste regeringen se till att landets fastighetsregister innehåller information som är till nytta för aktörerna i både fastighets- och kreditmarknaderna. Studier har visat att det befintliga fastighetsregistret i Uganda har brister som inverkar negativt på fastighets- och kreditmarknaderna. Ugandas regering har försök att lösa dessa problem och en av de senaste insatserna inkluderar digitalisering av fastighetsregistret. Däremot har frågan om registrets informationsinnehåll, och dess ändamålsenlighet för fastighets- och kreditmarknaderna, inte rönt någon större uppmärksamhet. Av dessa skäl har detta forskningsprojekt närmare undersökt informationsinnehållet i fastighetsregistret i relation till de behov som fastighets- och kreditmarknaderna i Uganda uppvisar. Det främsta syftet med forskningen var att utveckla en modell för ett fastighetsregister som kan gynna både fastighets- och kreditmarknaderna i Uganda. Forskningen inventerade inledningsvis behoven hos de olika aktörerna inom fastighets- och kreditmarknaderna. Baserat på en analys av dessa behov identifierades brister och svagheter i den information som tillhandahålls av det nuvarande fastighetsregistret. Forskningsmetoden innefattade litteraturstudier, intervjuer och enkäter. Därutöver granskades fastighetsregistret på plats vid olika registerförande kontor. En konceptuell modell av ett utvecklat fastighetsregister skapades utifrån de informationsbehov hos aktörerna och brister i nuvarande fastighetsregistret som identifierats. Studien visade att den grundläggande information som behövs för fastighets- och kreditmarknaderna innefattar bl.a. information om fastighetens area, lokalisering, olika rättigheter samt markanvändningsplaner. Information om area och lokalisering finns idag, men rättigheter och markanvändningsplaner saknas. Detta har inverkat negativt på fastighets- och kreditmarknaderna genom att bl.a. bidra till markspekulation, otrygga rättigheter, höga transaktions- och informations-kostnader, principal-agent-problem och markkonflikter. Studien rekommenderar att nuvarande registret bör utvecklas och struktureras för att kompletteras med viktig information såsom rättigheter och markanvändnings-regleringar vilket efterfrågas av marknadsaktörerna. Registret bör vidare vara dynamiskt och skapa incitament för att underlätta registrering av mark.

Full textAbstract:
The determination of the value of investment grade property in Australia has been the subject of much criticism in the professional and, to a lesser extent, the public press in recent years. Two of the three principal components of the valuation process - those relating to the identification of the property and associated interests and to the calculation of value - have, as a consequence, benefited from closer scrutiny resulting in more rigorous practice. The third component, that of the analysis of the property in the market context, has notexperienced the same level of attention.
It is the purpose of this study to more fully investigate the nature of the analysis of the
property market process. This has been approached through two main avenues: literature review and empirical survey. The review of the academic and professional literature ranged across a number of related professional fields to establish the context of the study and then adopted a more specific focus on the relevant valuation literature. The first part of the literature review established that there was no consensus evident from the related professional and academic fields regarding the nature of the property market process to guide valuers. The second part indicated similar diversity between valuers - academic and professional. This discordance begged further enquiry which was undertaken through a postal survey of 1722 members of the Australian Institute of Valuers and Land Economists (AIVLE) (now the Australian Property Institute, API). The method adopted for the survey was to approach a number of practising valuers, through unstructured interviews to obtain a range of consensual themes around which a questionnaire was structured. These related to the background of the respondents, their views on market analysis and their identification of factors they consider important influences on the property market. A pilot survey was carried out, the questionnaire revised, then distributed and the 240 responses analysed using a segmentation (or multiple classification) approach. The analysis of the data yielded both narrative and statistical results, for which the responses were considered under four filter groups relating to duration of professional experience, academic qualification, stream of AIVLE membership and dominance of professional practice.
The principal finding of the study is, that whilst valuers' views on the nature of the property market accord closely with those of the literature, when questioned further on the factors
they consider important when undertaking a valuation, their focus is narrow, retrospective and property-based thereby supporting the criticisms found in the literature. The inference is that practising valuers have as clear an understanding of the property market process as do
the commentators but do not demonstrate it in their work. The reasons for this may be a consequence of the respondents' education, their understanding of what is now appropriate in practice or it may be that they are merely responding to the limited expectations of many clients. These findings have implications for valuers' education and professional practice in the future when, as the valuation profession itself perversely recognises, it may be
anticipated that valuation is likely to become a more rigorous process. This research has identified this paradox as a target for further study.
In addition to identifying this paradox, other original contributions to knowledge which have emerged include a definition of property market analysis, comprehensive details of many aspects of valuers' education, experience and attitudes together with critical analysis and synthesis of the background and focal literature in this area - which has not previously been
undertaken, most specifically in the Australian context. Comparative analysis of aspects of British, Australian and American literature has been made and the study concludes with a number of proposals for further research. These include more detailed investigation into the reporting of market analysis for specific property types; into the characteristics of Australian valuers compared to those overseas and further inquiry into identification of appropriate standards for market analysis, leading to the generation of benchmarks and parameters of quality and fitness for purpose which are of concern for the profession, for academics, educators and regulators.
