Pecking Order Versus Trade-off: An Empirical Approach to the Small and Medium Enterprise Capital Structure

2003

In this paper, we explore two of the most relevant theories that explain financial policy in small and medium enterprises (SMEs): pecking order theory and trade-off theory. Panel data methodology is used to test the empirical hypotheses over a sample of 6482 Spanish SMEs during the five-year period 1994?1998. The results suggest that both theoretical approaches contribute to explain capital structure in SMEs. However, while we find evidence that SMEs attempt to achieve a target or optimum leverage (trade-off model), there is less support for the view that SMEs adjust their leverage level to their financing requirements (pecking order model). En este trabajo, exploramos dos de las teorías má…

Can Fiscal Policy Stimulus Boost Economic Recovery?

2011

We assess the role played by fiscal policy in explaining the dynamics of asset markets. Using a panel of ten industrialized countries, we show that a positive fiscal shock has a negative impact in both stock and housing prices. However, while stock prices immediately adjust to the shock and the effect of fiscal policy is temporary, housing prices gradually and persistently fall. Consequently, the attempts of fiscal policy to mitigate stock price developments (e.g. via taxes on capital gains) may severely de-stabilize housing markets. The empirical findings also point to significant fiscal multiplier effects in the context of severe housing busts, which gives rise to the importance of the im…

Solāro paneļu faktiskās efektivitātes izpēte Latvijas klimatā

2021

Darba mērķis ir noteikt kā polikristālisko un monokristālisko solāro paneļu ražotāju standarta testa apstākļos noteiktā efektivitāte atšķiras no faktiskās efektivitātes konkrētos klimatiskos apstākļos. Šim mērķim Rīgā, Latvijā 2018. gadā tika uzstādīts solāro paneļu komplekts to jaudas un saražotās enerģijas ilgtermiņa novērošanai. Darbā tiek analizēts gan kā solāro paneļu saražotais enerģijas daudzums mainās pa mēnešiem un sezonāli, gan arī kā to efektivitāti ietekmē paneļa telpiskā orientācija, leņķis pret horizontu, paneļa tips, temperatūra un solārā starojuma intensitāte.

Dynamic Behaviour of an Axially Moving Plate Undergoing Small Cylindrical Deformation Submerged in Axially Flowing Ideal Fluid

2011

Abstract The out-of-plane dynamic response of a moving plate, travelling between two rollers at a constant velocity, is studied, taking into account the mutual interaction between the vibrating plate and the surrounding, axially flowing ideal fluid. Transverse displacement of the plate (assumed cylindrical) is described by an integro-differential equation that includes a local inertia term, Coriolis and centrifugal forces, the aerodynamic reaction of the external medium, the vertical projection of membrane tension, the bending resistance, and external perturbation forces. In the two-dimensional model thus set up, the aerodynamic reaction is found analytically as a functional of the cylindri…

“Gli Alleati sono venuti prima per fare la guerra”. Guerra, emergenza alimentare e conflitto sociale in Sicilia (1943-1945)

2015

La storiografia ha da tempo evidenziato il rapporto tra il crollo delle “basi di massa del fascismo” (Gallerano) e l’incapacità del regime, negli ultimi anni del conflitto, di trovare soluzioni alle difficoltà negli approvvigionamenti. Soprattutto nelle campagne meridionali, fame e miseria – effetti tangibili della guerra totale – determinarono insieme alle sconfitte subite in Africa e ai pesantissimi bombardamenti alleati, una diffusa disaffezione verso il regime. Non a caso, la promessa della fine dei razionamenti e della fame costituì uno degli elementi principali della propaganda anglo-americana in vista dello sbarco del luglio ‘43. E in effetti, nelle parole dei testimoni, al ricordo d…

A method for detecting malfunctions in PV solar panels based on electricity production monitoring

2017

In this paper a new method is developed for automatically detecting outliers or faults in the solar energy production of identical sets (sister arrays) of photovoltaic (PV) solar panels. The method involves a two-stage unsupervised approach. In the first stage, "in control" energy production data are created by using outlier detection methods and functional principal component analysis in order to remove global and local outliers from the data set. In the second stage, control charts for the "in control" data are constructed using both a parametric method and three non-parametric methods. The control charts can be used to detect outliers or faults in the production data in real-time or at t…

Hotel chain performance: a gravity-DEA approach

2011

Performance in business management can be measured in terms of competitiveness and efficiency. Generally speaking, competitiveness is a comparative concept of the ability of a firm, sub-sector or country to sell and supply goods and/or services in a given market, as measured by its market share. Particularly in competitive markets, efficiency plays a key role in determining this ability but it is not, by itself, sufficient. Indeed, while competitiveness has more to do with “pursuing the correct strategy” towards the conservation and/or increase of the market share, operational efficiency is mainly a measure of how well the firm, sub-sector or country under study processes inputs to achieve …

The euro impact on trade. Long run evidence with structural breaks

2012

In this paper we present new evidence on the euro effect on trade. We use a data set containing all bilateral combinations in a panel of 26 OECD countries during the period 1967-2008. From a methodological point of view, we implement a new generation of tests that allow solving some of the problems derived from the non-stationary nature of the data. To this aim we apply panel tests that account for the presence of cross-section dependence as well as discontinuities in the non-stationary panel data. We test for cointegration between the variables using panel cointegration tests, especially the ones proposed by Banerjee and Carrióni- Silvestre (2010). We also efficiently estimate the long-run…
