TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the relationship between value and earnings and find that firms with more negative earnings have higher valuations than do firms with less negative earnings and firms with positive earnings have more positive earnings.
Abstract: We investigate IPO valuation for a sample of 1,655 IPOs from three time-periods: 1986-1990, January 1997 through March 2000 (designated as the boom period), and April 2000 through December 2001 (designated as the crash period). We find that firms with more negative earnings have higher valuations than do firms with less negative earnings and firms with more positive earnings have higher valuations than firms with less positive earnings. This V-shaped pattern to the relation between value and earnings suggests that inference based solely on firms with positive earnings is inaccurate. This is especially true for the boom and crash periods. Our results suggest that negative earnings are a proxy for growth opportunities for internet firms. We also find that investment bankers and first-day investors assign different weights to post-IPO ownership and changes in ownership around the IPO for different classes of pre-IPO shareholders (CEOs, VCs, other blockholders, and officers and directors) when pricing the IPO.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a scoping review of the literature on farmers' organizations and their impacts on small-scale producers in sub-Saharan Africa and India, focusing on the contributions of farmers organizations to production, income, empowerment, food security and the environment.
Abstract: Farmers’ organizations (FOs), such as associations, cooperatives, self-help and women’s groups, are common in developing countries and provide services that are widely viewed as contributing to income and productivity for small-scale producers. Here, we conducted a scoping review of the literature on FO services and their impacts on small-scale producers in sub-Saharan Africa and India. Most reviewed studies (57%) reported positive FO impacts on farmer income, but much fewer reported positive impacts on crop yield (19%) and production quality (20%). Environmental benefits, such as resilience-building and improved water quality and quantity were documented in 24% of the studies. Our analysis indicates that having access to markets through information, infrastructure, and logistical support at the centre of FO design could help integrate FOs into policy. Natural resource management should also be more widely incorporated in the services provided by FOs to mitigate risks associated with environmental degradation and climate change. Finally, farmers who are already marginalized because of poor education, land access, social status and market accessibility may require additional support systems to improve their capacities, skills and resources before they are able to benefit from FO membership. Associations, cooperatives, women’s groups and other farmers’ organizations are generally considered beneficial to smallholders, but more evidence on their broader impact is needed. This scoping review, focused on sub-Saharan Africa and India, draws on the findings of 239 studies to elicit the contributions of farmers’ organizations to production, income, empowerment, food security and the environment.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the dividend behavior of Indian companies and found that restricted monetary policies have significant influence on the dividend behaviour of Indian firms, causing about 5-6 percent reduction in the payout ratios.
Abstract: In this study we examine the dividend behaviour of Indian companies. We use the GMM estimator, which is the most suitable methodology in a dynamic setting. Our results show that Indian firms have lower target ratios and higher adjustment factors. The most significant result is that the restricted monetary policies have significant influence on the dividend behaviour of Indian firms, causing about 5-6 percent reduction in the payout ratios. The significance of the macro economic policy variable suggest that monetary policy restrictions do have an impact on the cost of raising funds, and the information asymmetry between lenders and borrowers increases that forces companies to reduce their dividend payout.

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of designing a multicommodity network using facilities of a fixed capacity to satisfy a given set of traffic demands is addressed, and the main result of the article is a theorem, which shows that a facet inequality of the k-node problem translates into a facet of the original problem under a fairly mild condition, that is, the subgraph of each component of a k-partition be connected.
Abstract: This article addresses the problem of designing a multicommodity network using facilities of a fixed capacity to satisfy a given set of traffic demands. This problem (called the NDP) arises primarily in the design of high-capacity telecommunication networks. The k-partition of the NDP graph is introduced which results in a smaller k-node NDP. The main result of the article is a theorem, which shows that a facet inequality of the k-node problem translates into a facet of the original problem under a fairly mild condition, that is, the subgraph of each component of the k-partition be connected. This theorem is utilized to show that 2- and 3-partition-based inequalities identified by previous researchers yield families of facets for the original NDP. The structure of the 4-node NDP is explored to derive three different classes of valid inequalities and the conditions under which they are facet defining. The effectiveness of these inequalities is indicated by the computational experience on a 10-node example. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. NETWORKS, Vol. 47(3), 123–139, 2006

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors lay the context of Basel III and then incorporate the views of senior executives of Indian banks and risk management experts on addressing the challenges of implementing the BaselIII framework, especially in areas such as augmentation of capital resources, growth versus financial stability, challenges for enhanced profitability, deposit pricing, cost of credit, maintenance of liquidity standards, and strengthening of risk architecture.
Abstract: The Basel III framework, whose main thrust has been enhancing the banking sector's safety and stability, emphasises the need to improve the quality and quantity of capital components, leverage ratio, liquidity standards, and enhanced disclosures. This article first lays the context of Basel III and then incorporates the views of senior executives of Indian banks and risk management experts on addressing the challenges of implementing the Basel III framework, especially in areas such as augmentation of capital resources, growth versus financial stability, challenges for enhanced profitability, deposit pricing, cost of credit, maintenance of liquidity standards, and strengthening of risk architecture.
