Using contingent valuation of value nested goods : a case of the Broadland flood alleviation scheme

Powe, Neil Adrian January 2000 (has links)
In policy contexts valuations may be required not only for the most inclusive good considered but also the relevant sub-areas or components which are nested within the broader good. Valuation of differing levels of quantity/quality, referred to here as scope, provides many challenges to the researcher. Through considering the sensitivity of welfare measures to scope and the valuation sequence used, this thesis was undertaken to investigate the difficulties in and prospects for using CV to estimate the non-market value of nested goods. Using a mixed methodology survey design, the case study focuses on the use of the contingent valuation method to estimate non-market benefits from a saline flood alleviation scheme in Broadland, located in Eastern England. A scheme to protect the `whole' area from saline flooding was compared to five separate `part' schemes which would only protect nested sub-areas of Broadland. Insensitivity to scope was observed within both a split sample comparison of `whole' and `part' valuations and a same sample comparison where the `part' scheme was valued first. The prior valuation of the `whole' scheme did induce sensitivity to scope between `whole' and `part' schemes, but this effect can be interpreted in terms of either economic theory, consistency pressures or the use of a more natural valuation sequence. However, the prior valuation of the `whole' scheme also induced split sample sensitivity to good characteristics between the `part' schemes. Overall the explanation for the results given cannot be monopolised by either contingent valuation supporters or their critics. In the case of Broadland flood alleviation, the validity of the valuations presented remains unclear but some interesting findings suggest future directions for research.

Economic value of sport

Chan, John Cedric 03 April 2011 (has links)
This thesis will determine what the variables of an Economic Value model for a sport are, whilst being grounded in academic theory, which contributes to national income or Gross Domestic Product. It also determines what the practical considerations are, both from a theoretical / academic and business / commercial perspective, to applying such a model on a sporting code (for example cricket, soccer and rugby). Finally, using the latest available sport industry data, an attempt will be made to gather financial data per variable with which to determine what a particular sport codes contribution is to South Africa’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for a particular year. Qualitative data was gathered using semi-structured face-to-face interviews with experts and senior business people from companies that operate in the South African sport industry. A finalised model of Economic Value of Sport is presented, and implications, uses and importance of utilising such a model are also stated.

EVA - Ett helhetskoncept eller komplement?

Glamstedt, Jennie, Sigbo, Marie January 2008 (has links)
<p>Alla företag strävar efter att göra en vinst, men frågan är när ett företag faktiskt uppnått detta. </p><p>Stern Stewart & Co är ett amerikanskt konsultbolag som har arbetat fram ett koncept som de kallar Economic Value Added (EVA). Den stora skillnaden mellan detta och övriga vinstmått är att EVA visar att ingen vinst har uppnåtts förrän även kostnaderna för det egna kapitalet, d.v.s. den avkastning som aktieägarna förväntar sig, är täckta. Stern Stewart & Co har marknadsfört EVA som ett helhetskoncept som ska användas för styrning i hela företaget. Den fråga som vi har ställt oss är hur EVA-konceptet ser ut i svenska företag. Syftet med studien är att beskriva EVA-konceptets användningsområden och förklara hur svenska företag arbetar med måttet. För att besvara frågan och uppfylla syftet krävdes en helhetsförståelse över företagens situation, därför har en kvalitativ ansats använts. Undersökningen består av intervjuer som genomförts med fyra företag som använder sig av EVA-konceptet. De resultat vi har fått fram visar att företag anpassar modellen efter sina behov och förutsättningar samt att den används som ett komplement eller kompletteras av andra mått. Vidare har införandet av EVA-konceptet inte någon förankring i att företag vill arbeta mer mot aktieägarnas intressen, utan att syftet med att använda EVA-konceptet har andra skäl.</p>

Implementing productivity gainsharing to influence the performance of value drivers employed by EVA / Jakobus Eduard Wessels Fivaz

Fivaz, Jakobus Eduard Wessels January 2008 (has links)
The creation of shareholder wealth has become the key of corporate success. A setback in achieving this is a lack of commitment and participation in productivity initiatives at shop floor level in South Africa and companies are faced with competitive challenges of promoting innovativeness relating to productivity improvement amongst employees. It has increasingly been recognized that by introducing a carefully crafted incentive scheme, it may be possible to induce workers to work both harder and smarter and use existing technologies in new and better ways that enhance their productivity. The purpose of the study is to evaluate to what extend gainsharing can be a solution to the predicament. The empirical data used during the study was based on questionnaires that were administered amongst managers of Eskort Ltd. The research established that gainsharing would induce employees to effectively participate in problem solving or productivity improvement initiatives in the company. The majority of participants feel that gainsharing will benefit the company to deliver on client requirements; help enhance teamwork; create a feeling of ownership; share a portion of saved-cost for productivity improvement purposes; stimulate organization learning; improve communication between management and employees; stimulate employees to make suggestions on ways to improve productivity; and increase profit and reduce costs. The study clearly illustrates that money can be the primary drive for motivation to certain employees within the company. Further more based on the results of the empirical study the researcher came to the conclusion that motivated employees will be more productive and as a result have a positive influence on the value drivers employed by the EVA methodology. EVA is a value based performance measure, an investment decision tool and also a performance measure indicating the absolute amount of shareholder value created. / Thesis (M.B.A.)--North-West University, Vaal Triangle Campus, 2009.

The Empirical Study of the Association with Economic Value Added¡BEarnings and Stock Returns

Wu, Huey-Jiuan 27 June 2002 (has links)
Economic Value Added (EVA) is a residual income that corrects distortion of managerial incentives introduced by standard GAAP accounting. This study attempts to compare EVA with EPS and see which one is better. The difference between literature and this study is that we use not only cross-regression but also Granger causality test to make clear the relationship between stock return and performance measure and find out what is the value of EVA. Our main finding is as follows¡G 1.EVA significantly positively affects the contemporaneous stock return, but EPS is insignificant. This support the existence of EVA. 2.The components unique to EVA --- the cost of capital, significantly negatively affects the contemporaneous stock return, indicating that market does take into consideration the cost of capital when pricing the company. 3.As to Granger causality relationship, there is no lead-lag relationship between stock return and EVA or EPS. This means that performance measure cannot be a predictor of future stock return. In a word, EPS, ignoring equity capital and being distorted by GAAP accounting, neither explains the contemporaneous stock return, nor forecasts the future. However, EVA, considering equity capital and correcting distortion of GAAP accounting, can explain the contemporaneous stock return by representing the intrinsic value of the company. But, EVA, being still on the basis of history, cannot forecast the future. Anyway, EVA can replace EPS in reflecting the operating of the company, that is the contribution of EVA.
