Operating Leverage’s Role in Stock Returns, The Value Premium, and the Profitability Premium: International EvidenceUnknown Date (has links)
This dissertation investigates the association of operating leverage with stock returns, the value premium, and the profitability premium. Results in the first essay support the hypothesis that operating leverage is related to stock returns and the value premium across the sampled countries. Results are robust to cross-country differences, typical controls, multiple definitions of operating and financial leverage, and while controlling for the endogeneity of operating and financial leverage. This suggests that the rational explanation for the presence of the value premium lies in the underlying risk exposure of fixed asset risk of operating leverage which is expressed through the value premium. Results further support the hypothesis of strengthening labor protection increasing operating leverage. In turn, increased labor protection marginally negatively associated with the value premium, suggesting that labor protection reduces the value premium through financial leverage. However, because operating and financial leverage are oppositely affected by employment protection, the joint effect of this association may be cumulatively washed out in estimating value premium with employment protection legislation.
Results in the second essay further support the hypothesis that operating leverage is related to stock returns and additionally support the hypothesis of operating leverage being associated to the profitability premium. The profit premium tends to be insignificant when generated within operating leverage portfolios, and the profit premium only tends to be significantly positive in the higher operating leverage portfolios. Furthermore, once operating leverage and profitability are orthogonalized from one another, the estimated coefficient of profitability is reduced by a magnitude of roughly 10. These results provide evidence in support of the profit premium being based on the riskiness of the firm through operating leverage, and therefore the profit premium is a rationally priced risk factor in stock returns. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2018. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Previous issue date: 2010-06-11 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The exploration of the child and teenage labor represents one of the most concerning issues in the contemporary world. Therefore, this research intended to present the legal protection available in the Brazilian law for children and teenagers. The study of what is infantile and juvenile labor deserved special attention so as to better define and guide the protection norms. The survey of international covenants for child and teenage protection that Brazil ratified, as well as the study in comparative law, confirm the special attention that Brazil has been paying to this major social problem, adopting important protection instruments, amongst them the Federal Constitution, the Child and Teenage Statute and the Labor Law Consolidation. Such legal and protective framework is extremely important in view of the sad reality thousands of children and adolescents live in our Country, predominantly in domestic, rural and urban labor. In this scenario, several child labor eradication and teenage labor protection programs are being developed, with quite positive results and with the support of government agencies, non-government entities and the private initiative, without overlooking the important role that the Labor Prosecutors Office play in emancipating such children and teenagers, lost in a life without their childhood or youth / A exploração do trabalho infanto-juvenil representa um dos problemas mais preocupantes no mundo contemporâneo. Desta forma, a presente pesquisa destinou-se a analisar a proteção da criança e do adolescente no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro. O estudo do que seja trabalho infantil e juvenil mereceu especial atenção, a fim de melhor definir e destinar as normas de proteção. A análise das Convenções Internacionais de proteção à criança e ao adolescente ratificadas pelo Brasil, bem como o estudo no direito comparado, corrobora a especial atenção que o Brasil vêm destinando à este grave problema social, adotando importantes instrumentos de proteção, entre eles, a Constituição Federal, o Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente e a Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho. Constata-se que referido arcabouço jurídico-protetivo é de extrema importância diante da triste realidade que milhares de crianças e adolescentes vivem em nosso País, predominantemente, no trabalho doméstico, rural e urbano. Neste cenário, vários programas de erradicação do trabalho infantil e proteção ao trabalhador adolescente foram desenvolvidos, com resultados bastante positivos e com o apoio de entidades governamentais, não-governamentais e a iniciativa privada, não olvidando do importante papel que o Ministério Público do Trabalho possui na emancipação dessas crianças e adolescentes, perdidas em uma vida sem infância e juventude

For a better understanding of the issue, an overview of the development of working conditions and labor protection in a given time context in both cultural areas is also provided. I believe that the presented comparison of legal regulations in both territories is an interesting excursion not only in terms of labor law itself, but also in the field of legal history. I believe that in the presented summary of the work it provides important and interesting expanding knowledge in the field of labor law and social security law. In my opinion, similar work was lacking in our market, and therefore it can be assumed that in this direction it will contribute to its enrichment if it is possible to realize its book edition, which is under negotiation. An overview of the material described above is given in twelve chapters since the beginning of the 14th century, when labor relations developed in the Czech lands, about which written reports already exist. In the case of...
