We develop a dynamic tradeoff model to examine the importance of managershareholder conflicts in capital structure choice. In the model, firms face taxation, refinancing costs, and liquidation costs. Managers own a fraction of the firms equity, capture par ...
In recent decades, the European postal industry has undergone profound reforms, which aim to promote competition while simultaneously maintaining a high level of universal services for consumers. It is often put forth that market opening and the emergence ...
The possibility of combining both the advantages of a solar tower thermal power plant and of a solar parabolic trough power plant could be interesting from an energetic point of view as well from an economic point of view. The preliminary study of this com ...
Due to ever increasing traffic demands the fatigue safety and service life of the bridges of a railway line in Brazil need to be examined. Conventional assessment methods using load models and approaches as suggested in codes lead to conservative results r ...
In previous work, it has been shown how to solve atomic broadcast by reduction to consensus on messages. While this solution is theoretically correct, it has its limitations in practice, since executing consensus on large messages can quickly saturate the ...
We solve the problem of optimal inventory management for a CARA market-maker who faces proportional transaction costs and marking to market. Our model accommodates inventory shocks following an arbitrary compound Poisson process. We show that the no-tradin ...
In highly excited semiconductor systems near the transition from direct to indirect band structure (cross-over) the energetic distance between different conduction band minima is a nonmonotonous function of the excitation intensity. A theoretical explanati ...
Due to the important direct and indirect costs of the intervention, more detailed examination methods based on data as obtained from monitoring is suggested. This paper reports on an ongoing study to examine the fatigue safety of one standard bridge type, ...
This paper analyzes intersectoral and intertemporal efficiency effects of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 using a general equilibrium model that considers impacts of taxes on the allocation of capital across industries, assets, sectors and time. The model pays ...
