Importance Of Iterative Process Groups On Healthcare...Joanna Paulsen
The document discusses the importance of iterative process groups in project management according to the Project Management Institute (PMI). It explains that projects involve five process groups: initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing. Failing to iterate these processes can negatively impact healthcare improvement projects. The paper demonstrates how a healthcare IT project incorporated doctors' advice into plans through repeated consultation cycles to arrive at the desired results. Iterating the project management process groups helped optimize procedures and maintain balance in the project.
The document discusses strategies for revitalizing public housing communities, using the Liberty Square housing project in Miami, Florida as a case study. It proposes the following strategies:
1. A strategic sourcing strategy and spend analysis to optimize procurement and maximize value.
2. Four procurement strategies - marketplace capability, set-aside, simplified acquisition, and sealed bidding - to address different project needs.
3. Two revitalization strategies - relocation and phase building. Relocation would demolish and rebuild the community elsewhere, while phase building would renovate the community in stages without relocating residents.
The document analyzes the pros and cons of each strategy and how they could be combined to effectively rev

Readings and Notes “Levels of Evaluation”
Policy Evaluation
The notion of “systematic” policy and program evaluation only dates back to the 1970s when questions were raised about the outcomes of the Johnson era's War on Poverty programs. Simply, the poor did not seem too much better off, despite some programmatic attention--and dollars--spent on improving their situation. This story ends as it began. Recall that the first week discussed the emergence of hyperfederalism in which all parties (jurisdictions and agencies) try to get as much of the others' share without too much common (national) public good associated with their efforts.
One of the better-known War on Poverty programs was called the Model Cities Program. The original (White House) idea for this program was experimental. It called for funding a small number of large cities, such as New York, Philadelphia and Chicago with especially acute slum problems. When the bill went to Congress, it was clear that unless the base of (support for) the program grew, it would not pass. (Recall GCT on expanding the base to insure a bill's passage often waters down its original intentions, or, dissipates them.) A then leading senator, Senator Edward Muskie (D-Maine) said he would only vote for the bill if cities such as Augusta, Bangor and Portland were made eligible for aid. The bill passed in 1966 and even small cities like Poughkeepsie were not only eligible, but received money as well for public housing projects. By most people's sights, the program utterly failed to reduce the existence of slums anywhere. No one now knows whether the original intentions might have led to a greater chance for program success. Instead of massive funding for a few projects, t ...

The document discusses the importance of conducting project retrospectives or postmortems to evaluate project success and failure from multiple perspectives in order to drive organizational learning and continuous improvement. It presents findings from a meta-analysis of 72 IT project retrospectives conducted by graduate students.
Key findings include that determining project success is complex and subjective, depending on the perspective of different stakeholders. Success should be evaluated based on both process measures like time and cost as well as outcome measures like actual use, learning, and value. While different stakeholders prioritized different success criteria, product delivery, use, and value were most important across groups. Analyzing failures and successes from multiple dimensions through retrospectives is critical for improving project management practices.
The document proposes a "Light Touch" approach to designing change that can achieve desired outcomes in complex scenarios with more precision and less risk than traditional change models. It describes how failures in large projects often result from assumptions and methods used, and how the Light Touch design team offers a proven approach blending new methodologies. Their services include tactical analysis sessions to resolve issues, designing integrated program missions, and education to reframe mindsets and skills not taught in business schools. Examples demonstrate how their approach has helped solve various challenges in different organizations.
The document analyzes the strategies of Mobilink, Pakistan's leading telecommunications company, through strategic analysis tools. A SWOT analysis identifies Mobilink's strengths as its large market share and network coverage, while weaknesses include outdated technology and low brand loyalty. Opportunities exist in expanding into underserved rural areas and offering new services. Threats include increased competition and technology changes. A Porter's Five Forces analysis examines the competitive environment. The PEST analysis evaluates political, economic, social and technological factors impacting Mobilink's business. Recommendations are provided to help Mobilink strengthen its strategic position.
Here is a revised problem statement for the Condominium Management System project:
Currently, condominium management in Malaysia relies heavily on manual processes. Administrators use paper-based methods to communicate information and announcements to residents, track maintenance requests, collect fees, and manage other day-to-day operations. This manual system is inefficient, time-consuming, and prone to errors. It also makes it difficult for residents to access important documents and submit service requests electronically.
A digital condominium management system is needed to streamline operations, improve communication and service, and reduce costs. The system would allow administrators to easily distribute notices, track maintenance tasks, and view payment records online. Residents could submit service requests, view documents

This document provides guidance to policymakers on policies to foster entrepreneurship and urban success. It discusses three approaches to local economic development: that it is driven by serendipity; that general investments in education, infrastructure, and amenities can attract entrepreneurs; and that more targeted interventions may be needed. The document summarizes evidence on entrepreneurship across cities and links between entrepreneurship and urban success. It concludes that streamlining regulations, limiting progressive taxation, and investments in schools and infrastructure may facilitate entrepreneurial growth, while targeted support for industries lacks strong evidence.

Introduction
Companies vary in the way in which they identify projects. The process of identifying a project can be performed by the top-level management, such as the Chief Executive Officer. A committee composed of the manager and other interested parties. The user department, senior information system manager, and the development group can decide on which project to submit. Each identification technique has its strengths as well as weaknesses. For instance, it protects that are identified by the top management have a strategic management focus. Projects that are identified by departments have a tactic focus.
Project cost, complexity, risk as well as duration influence the individuals who identify a project. Most of the project sources are identified by the steering committee as well as the top-level management. Most of the projects reflect on the broad needs of the organization. This group has a better understanding of the goals and objectives of the organization. Projects that are identified by the functional major, information system development group, and business unit are often designed for a particular business need. Moreover, it may not reflect the overall objective of the business. There are also not considered as broad organizational issues.
Projects that are identified by business units, development groups, and managers are known as bottom-up sources. It is essential to provide support to people who are carrying out this type of project. The top-level management should also be involved in the early life cycle of the project. Managers should be aware of the information needs and the reasons for carrying out the project. This description is essential, especially when selecting the project that will be approved to move into the project initiation and planning phase. Projects can be identified by both bottom-up and top and down. The procedure of identifying and selecting a project is different depending on the organization due to the limited resources.
It is essential to identify the advantage and disadvantages of the project. Project classifying, identification is ranking of the project can be performed by the top-level management, information system group, business unit, or the steering committee. The method that is used to access the merits of a particular project can vary based on the size of the company. In any given company, one or several methods can be used during the ranking or classification process. For instance, a company may use a committee, (Kaiser, et al., 2015). They can choose to meet every month or quarterly in order to discuss the progress of the project and areas that need to be improved. During the meeting, new project requests are reviewed related to the project that has already been identified. In addition, ongoing projects are also monitored.
In the project identification and selection, the final phase i ...

This document compares and contrasts the monetary and banking systems of Japan and the United States. Some key similarities include both countries issuing paper currency and coins, and establishing central banking authorities to oversee monetary policy. Differences include Japan initially adopting the yen while the US used various currencies before establishing the dollar, and Japan's banks traditionally being more involved in corporate governance compared to the US system that separates commercial and investment banking.

- Clusters are formed by firms conducting similar activities where innovation is important for competition and growth.
- Porter's model describes relations between external factors like resources and economic environment, and internal factors like company strategies, market conditions, and related/supporting industries.
- Potential disadvantages of clusters include decreased flexibility for firms, lack of competition destroying need for updates, and difficulty assessing performance without outside comparisons.
R&D Research & Development Strategy & ManagementChief Innovation
Am one of the few people I know who has an R&D Strategy background, but you almost never can sell projects in that area unless you have a domain PhD. Most of this is from 3rd Generation R&D, written by former colleagues from Arthur D. Little, Phil Roussel, Tammy Erickson and Kamal Saad. Phil is no longer with us, great guy and good friend (always tell people, I taught him how to use a fax machine, 'Jay, how do I work this thing.' - 'Phil, put the page in there, and push that big green button.' - 'Oh, that was easy.' Safe to say, 23 years later I still have never written a cool book, but did know something he did not! This had 3 slides at the end of it that I cannot remember where they came from, think in the book but not in order.
The Growth Lab at Harvard CID prepared this presentation to be shared with Namibia's High Panel for Economic Growth, established by President Hage Geingob.
Venezuela experimentó un colapso económico sin precedentes en los últimos años debido a su dependencia del petróleo y a las malas políticas implementadas durante el gobierno de Hugo Chávez. La caída en los precios del petróleo a partir de 2014 reveló las vulnerabilidades del modelo, llevando a una caída del 81% en las importaciones y del 48% en el PIB entre 2013 y 2018. La producción de petróleo y las importaciones de alimentos también se desplomaron, generando una grave crisis humanitaria.
In the decade 1999-2009, Jordan experienced an impressive growth acceleration, tripling its exports and increasing income per capita by 38%. Since then, a number of external shocks that include the Global Financial Crisis (2008-2009), the Arab Spring (2011), the Syrian Civil War (2011), and the emergence of the Islamic State (2014) have affected Jordan in significant ways and thrown its economy out of balance. Jordan’s debt-to-GDP ratio has ballooned from 55% (2009) to 94% (2018). The economy has continued to grow amidst massive fiscal adjustment and balance of payments constraints, but the large increase in population – by 50% between 2008 and 2017 – driven by massive waves of refugees has resulted in a 12% cumulative loss in income per capita (2010-2017). Moving forward, debt sustainability will require not only continued fiscal consolidation but also faster growth and international support to keep interest payments on the debt contained. We have developed an innovative framework to align Jordan’s growth strategy with its changing factor endowments. The framework incorporates service industries into an Economic Complexity analysis, utilizing the Dun and Bradstreet database, together with an evaluation of the evolution of Jordan’s comparative advantages over time. Combining several tools to identify critical constraints faced by sectors with the greatest potential, we have produced a roadmap with key elements of a strategy for Jordan to return to faster, more sustainable and more inclusive growth that is consistent with its emerging comparative advantages.
The literature on income gaps between Chiapas and the rest of Mexico revolves around individual factors, such as education and ethnicity. Yet, twenty years after the Zapatista rebellion, the schooling gap between Chiapas and the other Mexican entities has shrunk while the income gap has widened, and we find no evidence indicating that Chiapas indigenes are worse-off than their likes elsewhere in Mexico. We explore a different hypothesis. Based on census data, we calculate the economic complexity index, a measure of the knowledge agglomeration embedded in the economic activities at a municipal level in Mexico. Economic complexity explains a larger fraction of the income gap than any individual factor. Our results suggest that chiapanecos are not the problem, the problem is Chiapas. These results hold when we extend our analysis to Mexico’s thirty-one federal entities, suggesting that place-specific determinants that have been overlooked in both the literature and policy, have a key role in the determination of income gaps.
For three years Harvard CID has been working on a plan to rescue Venezuela and get the country on a path of sustainable, inclusive growth, and development. We have teamed with Venezuelan experts at home and abroad, worked with international institutions, and have started the process of building consensus around the plan among the opposition parties that control the Venezuelan National Assembly. The Venezuelan Caucus at the Kennedy School will be hosting a series of talks on Venezuela: The morning after, by different members of our team and on different topics. You can follow on their Facebook webpage. More coming soon, stay tuned!

This document provides guidance to policymakers on policies to foster entrepreneurship and urban success. It discusses three approaches to local economic development: that it is driven by serendipity; that general investments in education, infrastructure, and amenities can attract entrepreneurs; and that more targeted interventions may be needed. The document summarizes evidence on entrepreneurship across cities and links between entrepreneurship and urban success. It concludes that streamlining regulations, limiting progressive taxation, and investments in schools and infrastructure may facilitate entrepreneurial growth, while targeted support for industries lacks strong evidence.

Introduction
Companies vary in the way in which they identify projects. The process of identifying a project can be performed by the top-level management, such as the Chief Executive Officer. A committee composed of the manager and other interested parties. The user department, senior information system manager, and the development group can decide on which project to submit. Each identification technique has its strengths as well as weaknesses. For instance, it protects that are identified by the top management have a strategic management focus. Projects that are identified by departments have a tactic focus.
Project cost, complexity, risk as well as duration influence the individuals who identify a project. Most of the project sources are identified by the steering committee as well as the top-level management. Most of the projects reflect on the broad needs of the organization. This group has a better understanding of the goals and objectives of the organization. Projects that are identified by the functional major, information system development group, and business unit are often designed for a particular business need. Moreover, it may not reflect the overall objective of the business. There are also not considered as broad organizational issues.
Projects that are identified by business units, development groups, and managers are known as bottom-up sources. It is essential to provide support to people who are carrying out this type of project. The top-level management should also be involved in the early life cycle of the project. Managers should be aware of the information needs and the reasons for carrying out the project. This description is essential, especially when selecting the project that will be approved to move into the project initiation and planning phase. Projects can be identified by both bottom-up and top and down. The procedure of identifying and selecting a project is different depending on the organization due to the limited resources.
It is essential to identify the advantage and disadvantages of the project. Project classifying, identification is ranking of the project can be performed by the top-level management, information system group, business unit, or the steering committee. The method that is used to access the merits of a particular project can vary based on the size of the company. In any given company, one or several methods can be used during the ranking or classification process. For instance, a company may use a committee, (Kaiser, et al., 2015). They can choose to meet every month or quarterly in order to discuss the progress of the project and areas that need to be improved. During the meeting, new project requests are reviewed related to the project that has already been identified. In addition, ongoing projects are also monitored.
In the project identification and selection, the final phase i ...

This document compares and contrasts the monetary and banking systems of Japan and the United States. Some key similarities include both countries issuing paper currency and coins, and establishing central banking authorities to oversee monetary policy. Differences include Japan initially adopting the yen while the US used various currencies before establishing the dollar, and Japan's banks traditionally being more involved in corporate governance compared to the US system that separates commercial and investment banking.

- Clusters are formed by firms conducting similar activities where innovation is important for competition and growth.
- Porter's model describes relations between external factors like resources and economic environment, and internal factors like company strategies, market conditions, and related/supporting industries.
- Potential disadvantages of clusters include decreased flexibility for firms, lack of competition destroying need for updates, and difficulty assessing performance without outside comparisons.
R&D Research & Development Strategy & ManagementChief Innovation
Am one of the few people I know who has an R&D Strategy background, but you almost never can sell projects in that area unless you have a domain PhD. Most of this is from 3rd Generation R&D, written by former colleagues from Arthur D. Little, Phil Roussel, Tammy Erickson and Kamal Saad. Phil is no longer with us, great guy and good friend (always tell people, I taught him how to use a fax machine, 'Jay, how do I work this thing.' - 'Phil, put the page in there, and push that big green button.' - 'Oh, that was easy.' Safe to say, 23 years later I still have never written a cool book, but did know something he did not! This had 3 slides at the end of it that I cannot remember where they came from, think in the book but not in order.

Venezuela experimentó un colapso económico sin precedentes en los últimos años debido a su dependencia del petróleo y a las malas políticas implementadas durante el gobierno de Hugo Chávez. La caída en los precios del petróleo a partir de 2014 reveló las vulnerabilidades del modelo, llevando a una caída del 81% en las importaciones y del 48% en el PIB entre 2013 y 2018. La producción de petróleo y las importaciones de alimentos también se desplomaron, generando una grave crisis humanitaria.
In the decade 1999-2009, Jordan experienced an impressive growth acceleration, tripling its exports and increasing income per capita by 38%. Since then, a number of external shocks that include the Global Financial Crisis (2008-2009), the Arab Spring (2011), the Syrian Civil War (2011), and the emergence of the Islamic State (2014) have affected Jordan in significant ways and thrown its economy out of balance. Jordan’s debt-to-GDP ratio has ballooned from 55% (2009) to 94% (2018). The economy has continued to grow amidst massive fiscal adjustment and balance of payments constraints, but the large increase in population – by 50% between 2008 and 2017 – driven by massive waves of refugees has resulted in a 12% cumulative loss in income per capita (2010-2017). Moving forward, debt sustainability will require not only continued fiscal consolidation but also faster growth and international support to keep interest payments on the debt contained. We have developed an innovative framework to align Jordan’s growth strategy with its changing factor endowments. The framework incorporates service industries into an Economic Complexity analysis, utilizing the Dun and Bradstreet database, together with an evaluation of the evolution of Jordan’s comparative advantages over time. Combining several tools to identify critical constraints faced by sectors with the greatest potential, we have produced a roadmap with key elements of a strategy for Jordan to return to faster, more sustainable and more inclusive growth that is consistent with its emerging comparative advantages.
The literature on income gaps between Chiapas and the rest of Mexico revolves around individual factors, such as education and ethnicity. Yet, twenty years after the Zapatista rebellion, the schooling gap between Chiapas and the other Mexican entities has shrunk while the income gap has widened, and we find no evidence indicating that Chiapas indigenes are worse-off than their likes elsewhere in Mexico. We explore a different hypothesis. Based on census data, we calculate the economic complexity index, a measure of the knowledge agglomeration embedded in the economic activities at a municipal level in Mexico. Economic complexity explains a larger fraction of the income gap than any individual factor. Our results suggest that chiapanecos are not the problem, the problem is Chiapas. These results hold when we extend our analysis to Mexico’s thirty-one federal entities, suggesting that place-specific determinants that have been overlooked in both the literature and policy, have a key role in the determination of income gaps.
For three years Harvard CID has been working on a plan to rescue Venezuela and get the country on a path of sustainable, inclusive growth, and development. We have teamed with Venezuelan experts at home and abroad, worked with international institutions, and have started the process of building consensus around the plan among the opposition parties that control the Venezuelan National Assembly. The Venezuelan Caucus at the Kennedy School will be hosting a series of talks on Venezuela: The morning after, by different members of our team and on different topics. You can follow on their Facebook webpage. More coming soon, stay tuned!
El colapso económico de Venezuela no tiene precedentes en la historia económica posterior a la segunda guerra mundial. La caída paralela de la producción (49%) e importación per cápita (84%), conjuntamente con la hiper-inflación más alta registrada en doce meses consecutivos (200.005% en los doce meses previos a Agosto 2018), conforman un cuadro único de la catástrofe que le ha caído al país tras veinte años de socialismo.
El documento describe el colapso económico de Venezuela entre 2013 y 2018, con una contracción estimada del PIB per cápita de casi el 50%. Se atribuye este colapso a dos factores principales: 1) los ataques al funcionamiento de los mecanismos de mercado, debilitando la capacidad de respuesta de la sociedad, y 2) el colapso de las importaciones debido a restricciones. La hiperinflación actual ha hecho que los precios aumenten 200 veces desde septiembre de 2017.
¿Cómo ha llegado Venezuela a la situación actual, y qué tan grave es el colapso que ha sufrido en función de otras catástrofes económicas registradas en el mundo?
Panama has been one of the fastest growing economies in the world over the previous decade. In that short but vibrant time span, the country managed to double its income per capita. Growth has been spearheaded by the development of a modern service sector on the activities surrounding the Canal, and non-residential construction. Large public infrastructure projects and the private provision for infrastructure demanded by the service sector, have fueled growth and expanded job opportunities for non-skilled workers.
Two warning signals hover over Panama’s stellar performance. The construction sector has been growing at a rate equivalent to doubling its stock of structures every four years. The demand for non-residential construction cannot grow indefinitely at a higher rate than the rest of the economy. Once the stock of infrastructure required by the service sector is set and large infrastructure projects are completed, the rate of growth will recede and other sectors shall take the leading role. The deceleration of construction, characterized by a lower demand of non-skilled labor, will feed into the second warning signal: Income inequality. In spite of the minor improvements registered over the accelerated-growth spell, Panama remains amongst the world's top five most unequal countries. Both warning signals point to the need of further diversifying the Panamanian economy, and promoting economic activity in the provinces so as to deconcentrate growth and make it more inclusive.
¿Cuánto tiempo le tomará a Venezuela recuperarse la catástrofe económica sufrida? Tomando en cuenta la propia experiencia de Venezuela y la del resto del mundo, establecemos la probabilidad de recuperación para diferentes escenarios y plazos.
Bajo el patrocinio del Banco Inter-Americano de Desarrollo y en el marco del programa de Ciudades Emergentes y Sostenibles, un equipo de Centro para el Desarrollo de la Universidad de Harvard pasó la segunda parte del 2017 trabajando en Hermosillo, Sonora. Nuestra meta es analizar el desempeño económico reciente del lugar y su potencial económico, e identificar las restricciones más importantes al crecimiento.
Venezuela ha sufrido entre 2013-2017 el colapso más grande que haya registrado cualquier economía de América Latina en su historia, en época de paz o guerra. La caída de los precios y la producción petrolero, en combinación con el endeudamiento salvaje de la República en los tiempos de bonanza, ha dejado a la República exangüe y forzado una caída en las importaciones que ha llevado al país al borde de una crisis humanitaria. Aquí se simulan los impactos de algunos reformas económicas en el evento de una transición, desde el punto de vista de la balanza de pagos. En conclusión, aún haciendo supuestos muy optimistas, se hace imposible sacar al país adelante sin una combinación de ayuda internacional (asistencia extraordinaria del Fondo Monetario Internacional) Y una reestructuración de deuda muy agresiva.
We know diversification, extending production into more complex and higher value added goods and services, is they key to the process and development. And yet diversification implies doing things you currently don´t know how to do. Countries need to add new capabilities, which they cannot possibly have. We also know that it is easier to “move brains” to new locations, than to move knowhow into brains, i.e. moving experienced workers into a new location is faster than building experienced workers. Is this easier or even feasible to do? We find this is highly contingent on the “Sense of Us” as it regards policy areas like immigration and business travel. The "Sense of Us" is the collective illusion defining a place sense of who they are. Here we present three examples of three different policy engagements in Panama, Saudi Arabia and Chiapas (México), to show how did we stumble into the sense of us enthuse places, and how understanding it and be able to shape in a more inclusive way is cornerstone in the efforts to develop and grow out of poverty.

Venezuela is undergoing one of the worst economic losses ever registered by any country in a three-year period, either by Latin American or world standards. Poverty rates have skyrocketed and stand today beyond 80%. We define two landmarks for recovery, and revise how much would Venezuela need to grow - oil and non-oil sectors - and how likely are those rates from the Venezuela and the world´s experience. We end up by outlining some of the adaptive challenges Venezuela would need to tackle to engine a sustainable recovery.

Devaluations may have an impact on multinational stock prices depending on the size of the particular country and whether they are anticipated or not. In an efficient market, predictable devaluations on small countries should not impact stock prices of large multinational companies. We analyze cummulative abnormal returns (CAR) to five devaluations in Venezuela within the context of stiff exchange controls. Our event study covers a period of five years and uses daily stock prices for up to 122 multinationals with Venezuelan subsidiaries. We find evidence of significant negative impacts on stock prices on various devaluations, reaching up to -1.75% over the event window. We interpret these results as evidence of market myopia, as they are driven by retained earnings on financial statements being converted into dollars at highly overvalued official rates, in spite of subsidiaries not having access to dollars at these prices for years prior to the devaluations.
Panama has experienced rapid economic growth over the past decade by developing its service sector centered around the Panama Canal. Growth has been led by construction and competitive modern services like finance and trade. However, inequality remains high and education quality needs improvement. Restrictions on skilled immigration prevent skills and knowledge from spreading beyond special economic zones to the wider economy, which would benefit Panamanians. Loosening immigration policies could help address skill shortages and further economic development.

"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.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

…is superior to other evaluation methods. True.
21. 2018: Debate over. Every point to non-RCT advocates.
Topics important
for development
National Development leads to better well being. National development is
ontologically a social process (markets, politics, organizations, institutions).
RCTs have focused on topics that account for roughly zero of the observed
variation in human development outcomes.
Organizational
capability and
learning
Organizations doing any non-logistical activity (and most even of those)
cannot be beaten into doing better by evidence from “independent”
outsiders.
Political
economy
There is massive evidence that governments do not implement many many
many projects/proposals/programs that are cost effective and do spend
budget on items known to be not cost effective. The NAP model of a
benign SWF planner hampered by lack of rigorous evidence on
effectiveness whose behavior an RCT will change is complete wack
nonsense.
Construct
validity
RCTs examine an instance (or small numbers of treatment arms) which, in a
rugged response surface over a high dimensional design space reveals next
to nothing. Simple iterative methods dominant RCTs in finding good policy
designs.
External validity External validity (a) logically incoherent when existing evidence has
variance, (b) RCTs worse predictors of impact than OLS, (c) reviews show
massive variance. If experiments were the hallmark of science alchemists
would win Nobel prizes.
23. RCT 2.0 –”learned from experience” and conceded on all key points
and hence changed the practice of doing RCTs from “independent
impact evaluation” to more MeE (Monitoring experiential learning,
and impact Evaluation) approaches
Topics important
for development
Still stuck on this point.
Organizational
capability and
learning
“Crawl the design space”—worth with local partners in the design phase and
build implementation feedback loops to build towards effective interventions
and capability simultaneously.
This gives up on the notion of “independent” evaluation as now the
“intervenors” and “evaluators” are the same people.
This gives up on the priority of “impact evaluation” (from outputs to outcomes
involving causal claims about impact on beneficiaries) to “efficacy”—helping
organizations get from inputs to activities to outputs.
Political economy Working with governments on the generation and use of “evidence” as a
broader issue than just doing an RCT. Conceded on the “special” role of RCTs.
Construct validity Completely conceded. The specifics of program design have to be worked out
instance by instance in an iterative way.
External validity Completely conceded. Evaluation costs have to be amortized over the specific
project as there cannot be claims of generalizable knowledge.
