Bank guarantee Even after recodification of the private law in the Czech Republic, the bank guarantee remains an important means of covering risk; mostly due to its universal nature. The aim of this thesis is to provide a comprehensive view on the topic of bank guarantees, especially in light of the new Civil Code. The work will focus on defining the nature of the bank guarantee, as well as the ties between the subjects of the relationship formed within bank guarantees, and its basic principles. I have chosen this subject matter, as the bank guarantee remains pertinent, not only in foreign trade, but also in the Czech Republic, as evidenced by legislation such as the Public Procurement Act, the Act on Public Auction, or in the Customs Law. However, the most important role of bank guarantees remains in international trade, where in addition to market risk and performance risk of the contractual counterparty, a territorial risk prevails. In international trade, usually multiple banks take part in the guarantee relationship. This thesis is divided into eight chapters. The first chapter deals with ways of debt security in the new Czech Civil Code and conceptual and terminological changes. It briefly outlines and defines the institutes of insuring debt in new Civil Code. The second chapter concentrates...

This thesis deals mostly with regulation of bank guarantee in Czech law, as well as with regulation on international level. The main aim of this work is to provide a complete perspective on bank guarantee, definition of its typical elements and its subjects and relations between the subjects, and to make classification of different kinds of bank guarantees. The work is divided into 12 main chapters and a great number of subchapters. Chapter one deals with a risk that is closely connected with bank guarantee, as bank guarantee is mostly used to secure risks. Chapter two is dedicated to historical development of bank guarantee and to previous regulation in the Code of International Business. Chapter three is focused on legislation of bank guarantee both in the Commercial Code and in other laws that regulate its use in the Czech Republic. This chapter is also concerned with the international law - mostly rules issued by the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris. Chapter four is mostly focused on characteristics of essential elements of bank guarantee, its differences from guarantee and its practical use. Chapters five and six are completely dedicated to establishment of bank guarantee and actions before its establishment. Chapter seven analyses subjects of bank guarantee and relationships between...

This study uses employment office-level panel data to investigate the impact of work-related activities on the outflow from unemployment to work and education. The two largest labor market programs in Sweden are studied: Job and Development Guarantee and Job Guarantee for the Youth. To examine how activity participation affects the outflow to employment/education I had to examine differences between offices (office heterogeneity). This heterogeneity could be differences in local labor market conditions, office’s managerial ability, quality of activities and other features that are non-varying for each individual office. The method to answer the research question is fixed effects distributed lag regression analysis with lagged values of the independent variable “activity participation rate”. In addition to the one-way office-specific fixed effects model, a model with time-specific fixed effects was introduced to check for seasonal impacts and fixed macroeconomic conditions that influence all offices. According to the two-way fixed effects regression results, the seasonal variations seem to have a stronger impact on the outflow to work/education than the work-related activities participation rates. Particularly, when time-specific fixed effects were added to the model with office-specific effects, the overall effect of work-related activities on the outflow rate became statistically non-significant and brought inconclusive results. The results have shown that the month of September has the strongest and most positive influence on the outflow rate as more people find work and leave to education during this month. The months that have the lowest impacts on the dependent variable are March and October, which means that fewer individuals left to work/education during these months across offices, in comparison to other months. / Denna studie använder paneldata på kontorsnivå för att undersöka effekterna av arbetsplatsförlagda aktiviteter på utflödet från arbetslöshet till arbete och utbildning. De två största arbetsmarknadspolitiska programmen i Sverige studeras: Jobb-och utvecklingsgarantin (JOB) samt Jobbgarantin för ungdomar (UGA). För att undersöka hur aktivitetens deltagande påverkar utflödet till arbete/utbildning kontrollerade jag för skillnader mellan kontoren (kontors heterogenitet). Denna heterogenitet kan bestå av skillnader i lokala förhållanden på arbetsmarknaden, kontorets förvaltningsförmåga, kvalitet på verksamheten och andra funktioner som är icke - varierande för varje enskilt kontor. Metoden som har använts för att besvara frågeställningen är "fixed-effects distributed lag regressions analysis" med eftersläpande värden för den oberoende variabeln ”aktivitetsgrad”. Förutom kontors - specifika "fixed effects", infördes en modell med tid - specifika effekter för att kontrollera för säsongsmässiga effekter och fasta makroekonomiska förhållanden som påverkar alla kontor. Enligt de två-vägs "fixed effects" regressionsresultaten så verkar säsongsvariationerna ha en större inverkan på utflödet till arbete/utbildning än den arbetsplatsförlagda aktivitetsgraden. Framför allt när tid-specifika fasta effekter inkluderades i modellen med kontors-specifika effekter, blev den totala effekten av arbetsrelaterade aktiviteter på utflödeshastigheten statistiskt icke-signifikant och gav osäkra resultat som utfall. Resultaten har visat att september månad har den starkaste och mest positiva inverkan på utflödet, vilket betyder att fler människor hittar arbete eller återgår till utbildning just under denna månad. De månader som har visat sig ha lägst påverkan på den beroende variabeln är mars och oktober, vilket innebär att färre individer hittar arbete eller påbörjar utbildning under dessa månader i jämförelse med andra månader.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar ao leitor as diversas formas de garantia que poderão ser oferecidas ao particular, pelo Estado, como forma de atraí-lo à contratação de parcerias público-privadas, instituídas em âmbito federal pela lei nº. 11.079, de 30 de dezembro de 2004. A escassez de recursos públicos, culminando com a incapacidade estatal de investir em áreas de sua responsabilidade, fez com que se buscassem novas formas de interação entre os setores público e privado. Contudo, o histórico de mau pagador da Administração Pública brasileira implicou na necessidade de oferecimento de garantias àqueles que irão contratar com o poder público, sem as quais talvez poucos ousassem investir seu capital em atividades nem sempre certamente rentáveis. A proposta é analisar as diversas modalidades de garantias, apontando suas fragilidades e seus aspectos favoráveis, sempre no intuito de mostrá-las viáveis e eficientes. Por fim, algumas sugestões de novas espécies serão apresentadas, aumentando a gama de opções que o administrador terá ao seu alcance quando pretender levar a efeito uma contratação desta natureza. / The present work aims at presenting the reader a wide range of guarantees which can be offered to private companies by the State, so as to attract them to contracting public-private partnerships, instituted in federal extent under law number 11.079, dated December 30, 2004. The shortage in public resources, culminating with the incapacity of the State to invest in sectors of its own responsibility, has brought about the pursuit of new ways of interaction between the public and private sectors. Notwithstanding, the fact that Brazilian Public Administration has a history of being a bad payer has implied the need for guarantees to those who will hire the Public Power, taking into consideration that perhaps only a few people will be willing to invest their funds in doubtfully profitable activities. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the various forms of guarantees, pointing out weaknesses and favorable aspects, always targeting on turning them viable and efficient. At last, some other new suggestions will be introduced, enhancing the range of options the administrator may have at reach whenever one intends to put into practice such kind of hiring.

Está cada vez mais presente no mercado de crédito a concessão de financiamentos de longo prazo pelas instituições financeiras cujas garantias reais da operação de crédito são empreendimentos de base imobiliária (EBIs), tais como shopping centers, hotéis, hospitais, edifícios de escritórios para locação (EEL), entre outros. Em decorrência, a valuation de EBIs tornou-se de extrema relevância paras os agentes financeiros, uma vez que impacta diretamente na determinação do índice de garantia (IG), importante indicador utilizado pelo credor para aferir a margem de segurança do agente financiador em caso de inadimplência do tomador de recursos. Contudo, a reducionista análise do IG atrelada a atual simplificação promovida pelos bancos de se adotar critérios de avaliação de EBIs sustentados na abordagem do custo, que resulta no valor patrimonial, pode conduzir a resultados viesados ou inconsistentes, além de criar uma pseudoblindagem de exposição ao risco, falseando o processo de tomada de decisão e até mesmo anulando a possibilidade de explorá-lo em benefício do ganho de competividade e rentabilidade. Diante disto e a fim de subsidiar os bancos no que tange à análise da adequabilidade de incorporar EBIs em colateral, a presente tese propõe a estruturação de um sistema de rating para a classificação do risco de vinculação de EBIs em garantia, de forma a refletir o efetivo grau de cobertura proporcionado pelo colateral ante a operação de crédito. O sistema de rating ora proposto está sustentado em dois pilares: [i] na arbitragem do valor de garantia, segundo o conceito de valor da oportunidade de investimento e sob o princípio do value at risk, em que o valor arbitrado do empreendimento está associado à capacidade de geração de renda da propriedade e tem um grau de probabilidade e risco e [ii] na construção da matriz de rating, que constitui o núcleo do sistema de rating e envolve a determinação das dimensões de risco (e dos respectivos parâmetros de risco) ponderadas pela referida matriz, assim denominadas: [a] suficiência da garantia, [b] volatilidade do valor de garantia e [c] lastro patrimonial do empreendimento. Nesta tese, demonstrou-se a aplicação do sistema de rating a partir de um protótipo de referência que considera as relações encontradas no respectivo segmento de mercado e reproduz a configuração de um processo decisório que envolve uma operação de financiamento lastreada por um EEL. Os resultados obtidos evidenciaram que o sistema de rating pode auxiliar a gestão do risco de crédito pelos bancos, na medida em que constitui o ferramental adequado para fornecer informações, de forma ágil e eficiente, acerca do perfil de risco de vinculação de EBIs em colateral, agregando o nível de conforto necessário à decisão. O sistema de rating ora proposto abre uma nova perspectiva de análise do risco de vinculação de EBIs em garantia e constitui uma alternativa consistente ao uso do IG em operações de crédito de longo prazo. / There is a steady trend for the long-term financing of financial institutions whose real guarantees of the credit operation are commercial real estate properties (CREP), such as shopping malls, hotels, hospitals, office buildings, among others. As a result, the valuation of CREP has become extremely relevant for financial agents, since it directly impacts the determination of the guarantee index (GI), an important indicator used by the creditor to assess the margin of safety of the financing agent in the event of default of the borrower. However, the reductionist analysis of the GI coupled with the current simplification promoted by banks to adopt CREP valuation criteria based on the cost or patrimonial value approach may lead to biased or inconsistent results, as well as creating a pseudo-protection of risk exposure, distorting the decision-making process and even nullifying the possibility of exploiting it for the benefit of gaining competitiveness and profitability. In view of this and in order to subsidize the banks in the analysis of the suitability of incorporating CREP into collateral, this thesis proposes the structuring of a rating system for the risk classification of linking CREP into collateral, in order to reflect the effective degree of coverage provided by the collateral before the credit operation. The rating system proposed here is based on two pillars: [i] in the arbitrage of the guarantee value, according to the concept of investment opportunity value and under the principle of value at risk, in which the arbitrated value of the CREP is associated with the ability to generate income from the property and has a degree of probability and risk and [ii] in the construction of the rating matrix, which constitutes the core of the rating system and involves the determination of the risk dimensions (and risk parameters) weighted by that matrix, so-called: [a] collateral sufficiency, [b] volatility of the guarantee value and [c] patrimonial coverage of the property. In this thesis, we demonstrated the application of the rating system from a reference prototype that considers the relationships found in the respective market segment and reproduces the configuration of a decisionmaking process that involves a financing operation backed by an office building. The results obtained showed that the rating system can help the management of credit risk by the banks, as it is the adequate tool to provide information, in a quick and efficient way, about the risk profile of linking CREP into collateral, adding the level of comfort necessary for such decision. The proposed rating system opens a new perspective for analyzing the risk of linking CREP into collateral and constitutes a consistent alternative to the use of the GI in long-term credit operations.
