The document summarizes the Modigliani-Miller theory of dividend policy. Some key points:
1) According to the theory, the value of a firm is based solely on its earnings and investment policy, not its dividend policy. Whether a firm retains earnings or pays dividends, the total return to shareholders is the same.
2) The theory is based on assumptions of perfect capital markets, no taxes, fixed investment policy, and no uncertainty.
3) Through mathematical proofs, the theory shows that dividends do not appear in the final equation determining a firm's value, indicating dividend policy is irrelevant to shareholders.
4) However, the theory is criticized for being based on unrealistic
The document discusses the Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT), which assumes an asset's return depends on various macroeconomic, market, and security-specific factors. The APT model estimates the expected return of an asset based on its sensitivity to common risk factors like inflation, interest rates, and market indices. It was developed by Stephen Ross in 1976 as an alternative to the Capital Asset Pricing Model. The APT formula predicts an asset's return based on factor risk premiums and the asset's sensitivity to each factor.
A swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange cash flows over a period of time, where at least one cash flow is determined by a variable such as interest rate, foreign exchange rate, or equity price. The most common type is an interest rate swap, where parties exchange interest payments on a notional principal amount at fixed and floating rates. Swaps allow users to align the risk characteristics of their assets and liabilities.
The document discusses the evolution and features of swap markets. It begins by defining a swap as an agreement between two counterparties to exchange cash flows in the future, with terms like payment dates, currencies, and calculation of cash flows determined by the parties. The origin of swap markets is traced back to the 1970s in response to exchange rate instability. In the 1980s, multinational corporations began using swaps as more flexible alternatives to loans. Standardized documentation helped fuel growth, and new types of swaps like interest rate and currency swaps emerged. The key features of swaps discussed are counterparties, facilitators, cash flows, documentation, benefits, termination, and default risk.
Fundamental analysis involves analyzing macroeconomic conditions, industries, and individual companies. At the macroeconomic level, factors like GDP growth, inflation, interest rates, and fiscal/monetary policies are examined. Industry analysis evaluates the attractiveness of industries based on their growth stage, competitive environment, and sensitivity to economic cycles. Finally, company analysis assesses the financial statements, management quality, and competitive positioning of specific firms. Together, this three-tiered fundamental analysis helps investors evaluate investment opportunities.

This document summarizes the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) in three sentences:
The EMH states that market prices fully reflect all available public information and adjust instantly to new information. It has three forms - weak, semi-strong, and strong - with each form incorporating more types of information. Most research supports the weak and semi-strong forms, finding that historical data and public information are reflected in prices, but the strong form is not supported as non-public information can be used to earn excess returns.
This document discusses the concepts of risk and return in investments. It defines risk as the uncertainty of expected returns, which can be caused by factors both related and unrelated to the investment. Systematic risk refers to uncertainty from broader market factors that affect all investments, while unsystematic risk is specific to a particular investment. Standard deviation and beta are introduced as quantitative measures of risk. Standard deviation measures how much returns vary from the average, while beta measures the volatility of a security compared to the overall market. The security market line equation is presented to demonstrate how beta is used to determine the required rate of return based on the risk-free rate and market risk premium.

Fundamental Analysis including Economy, Industry Company AnalysisVadivelM9
This document discusses fundamental analysis, which is a method used to measure the intrinsic value of a stock or security based on economic factors affecting the business and its financials. There are two types of fundamental analysis: qualitative analysis, which involves non-numerical factors like brand and management; and quantitative analysis, which analyzes numerical financial statement data. Fundamental analysis consists of economic, industry, and company analysis. Economic analysis examines macroeconomic factors that could impact a company's performance, while industry and company analysis look at microeconomic factors specific to the firm. The goal of fundamental analysis is to identify stocks that are undervalued by comparing the intrinsic value to the market price.

Effect of Dividend Policy on Value Creation for Shareholders of Companies Lis...iosrjce
Several theories have been documented on the relevance and irrelevance of dividend policy. Many
authors continue to come up with different findings from their studies on the relevance of dividend policy. A
company’s management is dealing with competing interests of various shareholders, the kind of dividend policy
they adopt may have either positive or negative effects on the share prices of the company. The effect of a firm’s
dividend policy on the current price of its shares is a matter of considerable importance, not only to
management, who must set the policy, but also to investors planning portfolios and to economists seeking to
understand and appraise the functioning of the capital market. It is on this basis that the study sought to
establish the effect of dividend policy on value creation for shareholders of companies listed in the Nairobi
Securities Exchange. The objectives of the study were to establish the effect of dividend announcement on value
creation for shareholders of companies listed in Nairobi Securities Exchange, to establish the effect of dividend
payout on value creation for shareholders of companies listed in Nairobi Securities Exchange, to determine how
tax incentives influence value creation for shareholders of companies listed in Nairobi Securities Exchange and
to identify how free cash flows influence value creation for shareholders of companies listed in theNairobi
Securities Exchange. A questionnaire was used to collect primary data from the Finance Managers of the public
companies. The data wasanalysed using Regression Analysis, and descriptive statistics through the use of SPSS.
The findings indicated that all the variables contributed positively to value creation of shareholders of
companies listed in the NSE
Fundamental analysis measures a security's intrinsic value by examining related economic and financial factors to determine a company's true value. There are three types of fundamental analysis: economic analysis, which evaluates the costs and benefits of economic conditions and factors in a country; industrial analysis, which examines the industry a company operates in; and company analysis, which looks at the company's financial statements and management. Economic analysis considers macroeconomic metrics like GDP, inflation, interest rates, and tax structure to evaluate investment opportunities.

Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.
"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.
