Stambaugh, 2003, and Acharya and Pedersen, 2005). While practitioners would
perhaps question the relatively late arrival of these topics into academic focus,
academics have traditionally preferred to look at the world through the lens of
complete, or at least frictionless markets. The limitations of this traditional approach
have however become glaringly transparent over the last decade or two in the wake of
major financial events in which the ability to trade securities and access capital-
market financing declined substantially. The most striking of these events include the
stock market crash of 1987 in the United States, the Russian default in 1998, the Long
Term Capital Management episode that followed, and, most recently, the aftermath of
GM and Ford downgrade. It is thus timely and fitting to examine what we can learn
from these events about sources of (il)liquidity and liquidity risk, and their
implications for risk management at banks and financial institutions. As a part of this
investigation, we will also look at the relation between the developing theory on
liquidity risk and the apparently separate literature on correlation risk - the
fluctuations over time in the correlation of returns across securities.]]> http://pdfcast.org/pdf/liquidity-risk-and-correlation-risk-implications-for-risk-management Sun, 14 Mar 2010 01:53:23 -0500 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/liquidity-risk-and-correlation-risk-implications-for-risk-management World & Business liquidity risk correlation risk risk management interest and many explanations (e.g., estimation risk, market risk, liquidity) have been
posited for the relation. In this paper, I investigate whether information quality could
affect cost of capital through liquidity risk. Liquidity risk is measured as the covariation
between the returns of a stock and unexpected changes in market liquidity. The empirical
evidence indicates that: i) higher information quality is associated with lower liquidity
risk; and ii) a firm’s cost of capital is lower due to the effect of higher information quality
in lowering liquidity risk. In additional analyses, I find some evidence that the effect of
higher public information quality in lowering liquidity risk is greater for firms with less
private information. Assuming that private information substitutes for public information,
this evidence supports the argument that information effects drive the negative
association between information quality and liquidity risk. I also present some evidence
of an asymmetry in the effect of information quality on liquidity risk. Higher information
quality is associated with lower liquidity risk when there are significant declines in
market conditions, but not when there are significant improvements.]]> http://pdfcast.org/pdf/the-effect-of-information-quality-on-liquidity-risk Sun, 14 Mar 2010 01:52:17 -0500 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/the-effect-of-information-quality-on-liquidity-risk World & Business effect of information quality liquidity risk traders. These traders differ by their impatience and seek to minimize their trading costs by
optimally choosing between market and limit orders. We characterize the equilibrium order
placement strategies and the waiting times for limit orders. In equilibrium less patient traders
are likely to demand liquidity, more patient traders are more likely to provide it. We find that the
resiliency of the limit order book increases with the proportion of patient traders and decreases
with the order arrival rate. Furthermore, the spread is negatively related to the proportion of
patient traders and the order arrival rate. We show that these findings yield testable predictions
on the relation between the trading intensity and the spread. Moreover, the model generates
predictions for time-series and cross-sectional variation in the optimal order-submission strategies.
Finally, we find that imposing a minimum price variation improves the resiliency of a limit order
market. For this reason, reducing the minimum price variation does not necessarily reduce the
average spread in limit order markets.]]> http://pdfcast.org/pdf/limit-order-book-as-a-market-for-liquidity Sun, 14 Mar 2010 01:51:00 -0500 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/limit-order-book-as-a-market-for-liquidity World & Business limit order book market liquidity volume, price and broker identity to all market participants. Going against the general
trend in market design, the KE event provides important information for exchanges
that are deciding between a transparent market, preferred by most participants, and an
anonymous market accommodating large institutions and their brokers. Using several
alternative metrics for market quality and estimation methodology accounting for fixed
firm effects and endogeneity in explanatory variables, our results contradict previous
research, which mostly supports the drive for opacity. We find that when limit orders
are public, spreads fall, volatility increases and volume increases. The effects differ
across market capitalization segments. The current policy of the Korean Stock
Exchange to publicly display the 10 best orders, including broker identity and trades is
provisionally best practice, as it promotes higher traded volume.]]> http://pdfcast.org/pdf/the-public-limit-order-book-of-the-korea-exchange-market-capitalization-dependent-endogenous-effects-on-spreads-volatility-and-volume Sun, 14 Mar 2010 01:49:59 -0500 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/the-public-limit-order-book-of-the-korea-exchange-market-capitalization-dependent-endogenous-effects-on-spreads-volatility-and-volume World & Business transparency broker id market quality Exchange (TSE). While the behavior of spread components in U.S. markets has been extensively studied,
little is known about the spread components in a pure limit-order market. We find that both the adverse
selection and order handling cost components of the TSE exhibit U-shape patterns independently, in
contrast to the findings of Madhavan, Richardson, and Roomans (1997) for U.S. stocks. On the TSE,
there does not exist an upstairs market that allows large trades to be prenegotiated or certified as on the
New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). This feature of the TSE provides a valuable opportunity to examine
the relationship between trade size and spread components. Our results show that the adverse selection
cost increases with trade size while order handling cost decreases with it. ]]> http://pdfcast.org/pdf/the-components-of-the-bid-ask-spread-in-a-limit-order-market-evidence-from-the-tokyo-stock-exchange Sun, 14 Mar 2010 01:49:14 -0500 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/the-components-of-the-bid-ask-spread-in-a-limit-order-market-evidence-from-the-tokyo-stock-exchange World & Business bid ask spread adverse selection cost order processing cost trade size value of a business. Capital is simply the means by which business assets are financed. For the most part, assets
are paid for by cash from owners (either from retained earnings or invested capital) or from lenders (debt). A firm
with a higher percentage of debt is considered to have higher financial leverage. Financial leverage affects the cost
of capital which is calculated as the expected cost of debt (expressed in terms of an interest rate) and the expected
cost of equity (expressed as a percentage return to owners). With everything else being equal, the lower the overall
cost of capital, the greater the value of a business. Leasing non-core business assets such as a company’s fleet of
vehicles can offer a viable opportunity to decrease financial risk and thus lower the cost of capital. This in turn can
increase the value of your business.]]> http://pdfcast.org/pdf/the-impact-of-debt-and-leverage-on-the-valuation-of-a-business-how-company-vehicles-can-influence-business-valuation Sun, 14 Mar 2010 01:47:32 -0500 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/the-impact-of-debt-and-leverage-on-the-valuation-of-a-business-how-company-vehicles-can-influence-business-valuation World & Business leverage business company vehicles business valuation the past decade, leveraged buyouts have become

The paper analyses the bondholders’ excess
returns over a period 12 months prior to and 12 months after the effective
date of the leveraged buyouts. The results indicate that bondholders experience
significant increase in yields (prices drop) four to twelve months after the
effective date. The results also indicate that bondholders react rather slowly
to leveraged buyouts. Bondholders have high expectation about future benefits
at the time of the leveraged buyouts and hence they do not react immediately.
But after four to six months when the expectations do not materialize the
bond yields rise significantly.]]> http://pdfcast.org/pdf/pre-buyout-bondholders-reaction-to-leveraged-buyouts Sun, 14 Mar 2010 01:43:42 -0500 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/pre-buyout-bondholders-reaction-to-leveraged-buyouts World & Business pre buyout bondholders reaction leveraged buyouts privately held targets totals 10,013 ($855 billion), accounting for 46% (21%) of the worldwide leveraged
buyout market. Yet the vast majority of academic studies focus on the buyouts of publicly held targets.
This paper investigates the motives for leveraged buyouts involving privately held targets. I find that,
unlike buyouts of public firms, private targets sponsored by private equity firms grow in size by
increasing capital expenditures as well as acquisitions subsequent to the buyouts. Privately held targets
bring in outside managers and continue to increase debt financing when sponsored by private equity
firms. However, private firms undergoing leveraged buyouts without private equity sponsors do not
experience substantial changes in firm size and investments. The evidence suggests that private equity
firms facilitate private targets’ growth by alleviating targets’ investment constraints.

themselves (and are generally referred to) as private equity firms. In a typical
leveraged buyout transaction, the private equity firm buys majority control of an
existing or mature firm. This arrangement is distinct from venture capital firms that
typically invest in young or emerging companies, and typically do not obtain
majority control. In this paper, we focus specifically on private equity firms and the
leveraged buyouts in which they invest, and we will use the terms private equity and
leveraged buyout interchangeably.]]> http://pdfcast.org/pdf/leveraged-buyouts-and-private-equity Sun, 14 Mar 2010 01:41:00 -0500 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/leveraged-buyouts-and-private-equity World & Business leveraged buyouts private equity debt financing term leverage and macroeconomic and idiosyncratic sources of uncertainty. We develop
a structural model of a firm’s value maximization problem that predicts a negative rela-
tionship between uncertainty and optimal level of borrowing. This proposition is tested
using a panel of non-financial US firms drawn from the COMPUSTAT quarterly database
covering the period 1993–2003. The estimates confirm that as either form of uncertainty
increases firms decrease their levels of short-term leverage. This effect is stronger for
macroeconomic uncertainty than for idiosyncratic uncertainty.

opportunities than those with high growth opportunities. The paper tests the robustness of these
results using alternative empirical models and, in addition, uses the instrumental variable approach to
deal with the endogeneity problem inherent in the relationship between leverage and investment. The
results provide support to agency theories of corporate leverage, and especially the theory that
leverage has a disciplining role for firms with low growth opportunities.]]> http://pdfcast.org/pdf/the-impact-of-leverage-on-firm-investment-canadian-evidence Sun, 14 Mar 2010 01:35:32 -0500 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/the-impact-of-leverage-on-firm-investment-canadian-evidence World & Business leverage investment canada corporate finance
