The aim of this thesis was to classify the proprietary structure of the selected company in the South Bohemian Region. Furthermore to evaluate the sources of funding individual components of assets and quantify the impacts of the extensity of the long-term assets on the economic results of the company.

The subject of this thesis is an analysis of factors influencing the growth rate of small and medium enterprises in Europe. The required data was collected from Amadeus database and processed into a panel dataset. Afterwards, the regression parameters of the selected explanatory variables were obtained by means of fixed effects models. Results showed that enterprise growth rate was most significantly influenced by the rate of R&D costs, specifically its annual change in relation to turnover. Growth is also positively influenced by firm's profitability, annual change in intangible assets value and nation's growth rate of GDP. A negative effect on growth connected with solvency ratio was also found, which is consistent with a proposition of the pecking order theory. Once again, validity of Gibrat's Law was confirmed when size variable turned out to be statistically insignificant and slightly negative in addition. Not surprisingly, privately held companies operating in Western Europe showed a bit higher propensity to faster growth than their counterparts.

本論文研究軸心，首先探討鐵路事業公司化政策執行過程，並在相關文獻中，歸納公司化政策面臨資產閒置與組織僵化等問題，導致債務與虧損問題日趨嚴重。其中，資產閒置問題，除了受到相關法令限制而無法提升效益之外，對於政府投資鐵路立體化建設而衍生組織龐大與交易成本問題，目前尚未從預算執行面進行檢討與分析。此外，對於行政部門之間及鐵路局內部，因組織僵化而產生公共事務代理問題，依舊阻礙公司化政策執行腳步。故本研究藉由以上問題之歸納，進一步從資產面建構兼顧運輸本業及債務處理之政策架構。 / 國營事業改革的方法之一，即採用公司化方式完成民營化的階段性目標。在法學上觀點，公司化後國家仍擔負各種不同的監督與管理義務，尤其在行政任務完全私化的過程之中，國家仍具各項主管法令之執行角色。因此「國家保留」之各項責任，不管是在公司化的任何過程之中，國家均具有憲法位階所賦予之「影響義務」。然而國家如何決定公營事業公司化的基本政策？而公司化之後的國家管制行為，如何在法律規範與擔保義務之間，建立適度的決策方法？依循代理理論與自償評估方法，可發現「臺鐵公司化基本方案」窒礙難行的主要關鍵為政策不確定性與道德危險問題之應如何妥善解決；而經重新檢討補貼負擔之基本對策後，對鐵路事業民營化之條件提升及相關權利義務之界定確有助益。 / 其次，對於為人詬病的資產閒置與無力更新等問題，政府積極投入鐵路設備更新計畫，以鐵路地下化建設為例，單一建設計畫就預算規劃角度分析，因涉預算制度差異與政治協商等問題，在預算執行中不僅惡化資金缺口並已危及鐵路事業財務體質。本文依據交易成本理論之基礎，分析臺北都會區鐵路地下化建設因涉及公務與事業預算所造成的實施成本擴大問題；並就資金缺口之弭平，提出補貼策略的修正建議。惟資金缺口背後隱含資訊不對稱而產生錯誤決策的政治層面問題，致使實施成本逐年擴增。此觀察引發本文從交易成本政治學觀點進行分析的研究旨趣，並就預算規劃衍生的代理關係，分從資訊不對稱、代理問題、交易成本、認知差距、權益配置與誘因設計等方向進行課題之論述與回應，以探索經濟層面所無法釐清的關鍵決策因素。由此，本文論證了預算制度的差異預留了政治行動者的利益競逐與衝突空間，從而惡化了預算執行與配置的失能無效，也顯現了預算治理制度的重建與策略再造建議的提出，將有效減低鐵路地下化交易成本與政策失靈之風險。 / 最後，我國鐵路事業改革方法，係採用公司化方式完成民營化政策的階段性目標。在公司化之前，鐵路局除了負擔公共運輸責任及龐大現金債務，並管理為數眾多的各項資產，但卻受限鐵路法及國有公用土地不得處分收益等因素，遲遲未能有效開發利用。因此，本文首先探討公司化政策執行過程，在不同政策架構之下，將足以影響鐵路公司資產的持有狀況，續利用資產目標函數進而歸納資產全數移交政府接管將可有助於清理歷史債務並挹注補貼負擔等資金缺口問題。換言之，過去部分文獻雖然論證以「車路合一」模式推動公司化政策仍有累積盈餘之潛力，但本文利用自償率分析資產結構與法令規範之間關係，則推論認為「車路分離」模式更能客觀建構資產、債務、補貼負擔之財政架構，甚至創造較為豐厚的資產報酬，以避免鐵路事業公司化政策轉變成為政府永無止境的財政負擔。 / The axis of this thesis is about the corporatization policy of the railway business corporation. By collection of related literature, this thesis induces that the corporatization policy is facing the idle asset and ossified organization problems and aggravates the debt and loss situation. Among those, the idle asset problem, caused by restriction of related law to enhance efficiency and invest building construction, the mammoth organization and transaction cost problems have not yet been examined and analyzed from the viewpoint of budget implementation. In addition, the public affair agency problem engendered by the ossified organization inside the railways administration and related administrative administrations still hinders the process of the implementation of the corporatization policy. Hence, by summing up the questions above, this research constructs the policy structure considering both the transportation business and resolution of debt problem from the asset perspective. / Corporatization is one of the ways toward privatization in restructuring state owned enterprises. From legal perspective, government should still supervise and monitor the privatized enterprises. Especially, government should carry out regulation regime to protect stakeholders’ benefits during the corporatizating process. In other words, it requires a total state commitment endowed by the Constitution with influence duties. How to manage restructuring processes strategically in ways that will further economic democracy, efficiency and social progress? What are the obstacles which hinder the establishment of a state commitment in corporatization? Drawing perspectives from agency theory and refining self-liquidating evaluation, the author underscores the uncertainties and moral hazards in Taiwan Railway Administration’s corporatization and suggests how government can implement successful strategies to meet goals required by the privatization laws and build up a well-organized subsidy system to reinforce her influential role and regulatory capacity. / The second, the government positively invests the railway equipment to renew the problem of asset idle which denounced regarding the manner. Inspired by the perspectives from transaction cost economics and politics, this paper demystifies the hierarchy and authority relationships between supervising and operating agencies in the budgetary process. We unbound the blanket category of transaction costs into empirically verifiable elements including incomplete and asymmetric information, agency problems, transaction costs, stakeholder redistribution, ideology, incentives, etc. We identify political hazards as crucial determinants of the choice of political governance in budget execution and the transactional attributes that give rise to such hazards. The agencies in our analysis incur costs of providing a comprehensive budget design and tax revenue allocation, and are faced with a trade?off between providing incentives and reducing ex post costly enforcement. Extending transaction cost politics into the budgetary domains suggests that transaction costs in current political market did not lead project’s political stakeholders to move toward more efficient outcomes and result in significant enforcement costs. Framing the issue as a budgetary administration and project delivery problem, this paper highlights the challenges in using separation of power panels when the goals of the panels are uncodifiable. This paper concludes offering ideas for institutional engineering and a special subsidy is proposed. However, reformulating self-liquidating analysis and carefully justifying the authority and obligation relationships between agencies should play important roles in reducing transaction costs, ensuring enforceability of agreements, and achieving more efficient budgeting outcomes. / The final, corporatization is one of the ways toward privatization in restructuring state owned enterprises. In form of Corporatization, even though railway administration authority shoulders public transportation responsibility and huge debt, multitudinous real estate had not been effectively developed because of the limitation from railway act and on the liquidation of public facilities and state-owned land. This article first discourses that different formats of corporation policy affect assets’ efficient utilization, and uses market structure theory to set up asset objective function and learn that hand over all assets to government could clean up historical debts and enhances social welfare and assets’ utilization. In other words, although some literatures maintained that “infrastructure model” have potential of earnings accumulation, based on the use of Self-liquidation ratio to identify the relationship between asset structure and government regulation, the induction of “road model” could restructure asset/debt and subsidy. It even creates a richer property return to avoid railway operation being government‘s unlimited financial burden.

The aim of this thesis is assessment and presumptions of inter-company comparisons and finds suitable methods for inter-company comparisons. The theoretical part is focused on the ways and appropriate methods for inter-company comparisons, pointer system and their use for inter-company comparisons is used in this part. The one-dimensional and selected multidimensional methods are applied in this work. These methods find position of company in a file of competitive companies. Good characteristics are prerequisite for selection of indicators. Ratio indicators, bankruptcy and solvent models evaluate rate efficiency of the company in period 2008 - 2010. The conclusion of this thesis identifies weaknesses in economy and proposes measures for increase of company´s efficiency.

Kapitalstrukturen betyder hur ett företag väljer sin sammansättning av skuldsättning och eget kapital, och de finansiella teorierna är framtagna ur de större företagens perspektiv. Små och medelstora företag (SME) utgör ungefär 99 % av alla företag i Sverige, och det är därför viktigt att förstå hur dessa företag väljer sin kapitalstruktur. I perioder av ekonomisk recession kan tillgången på kapital bli problematisk för företag av olika anledningar. Generellt sparar landets befolkning på sina pengar, vilket implicerar en lägre tillförsel av kapital till företagen. Långivarna tenderar också att vara mer återhållsam gällande kreditgivning. SME kommer därmed att ha en lägre tillgång till externt kapital, och detta är mer problematiskt för dessa företag eftersom deras relation med långivarna tenderar att involvera högre grader av agentkostnader och informationsasymmetri. Hur dessa mindre företags kapitalstruktur påverkas av en ekonomisk krisperiod är ett forskningsområde som är relativt outforskat. Således är denna studies fokus att undersöka hur SME:s kapitalstruktur i Sverige påverkas av en ekonomisk krisperiod.Studien innefattade 79 916 SME i Sverige under perioden 2007 till 2015, och den analyserade krisperioden är finanskrisen som varade åren 2008 och 2009. För att kunna utröna krisens påverkan på företagens kapitalstruktur problematiserades olika faktorer som hade en relation till denna. Kapitalstrukturen omfattade företagens totala skulder och en uppdelning av dessa i kort- respektive långfristiga skulder. Faktorernas relation till de kort- och långfristiga skulderna var grunden för att studera eventuella förändringar under ekonomisk recession. De totala skulderna användes för att ge ytterligare stöd i analysen. De faktorer som inkluderades i denna studie var: likviditet, lönsamhet, tillgångsstruktur, tillväxtmöjligheter, storlek, den alternativa skatteskölden, räntespread och slutligen den faktor som var av primärt intresse – ekonomisk kris. För att testa detta empiriskt skapades modeller utifrån två olika linjära regressionsmetoder, varav den ena hade fixerade effekter. Modellerna med fixerade effekter var de bestämmande för studiens utfall. Studien visade empiriskt att krisens påverkan på SME:s kapitalstruktur var att företagen hade en högre skuldsättningsgrad under krisperioden. Mer specifikt indikerade resultaten på att företagen hade en högre grad av kortfristiga skulder under den ekonomiska recessionen. Vidare visade studien att flera av faktorerna hade en effekt på både kort- och långfristiga skulder. / Capital structure is how a business selects their mixture of debt and equity, and the financial theories that touches upon this subject is mostly developed from the larger corporations point of view. Small and medium sized enterprises (SME) constitutes approximately 99 % of all enterprises in Sweden, and therefore it’s important to understand how these businesses selects their capital structure. A period of economic crisis is problematic for enterprises to achieve capital in several aspects. The population in that said country is likely to be restrictive with their transactions, which implies a lesser flow of capital to the businesses. The lenders of capital tend to be more conservative in regards to the lending of credit. To this extent, SMEs will have less access to capital, and this is more problematic for small firms due to their relationship with lenders are often connected to larger agency costs and information asymmetry. How the capital structure for these small and medium sized firms affects during a period of economic crisis is a research area that is relatively uncharted – specially in the context of Sweden. Thus, the focus of this study is to examine how a period of crisis affects the capital structure of these small and medium sized enterprises during a period of crisis.The study involved 79 916 SMEs in Sweden during the period 2007 to 2015, and the examined period of crisis was the financial crisis that lasted through 2008 and 2009. To be able to determine how the crisis affected the capital structure several determinants that has a relationship with capital structure was problematized. The capital structure contains the firms total debt, which was divided into short- and long term debt. The determinants relationship with the short- and long term debt were the basis to study possible changes during economic crisis. The total debts were used to give support to the analysis. The determinates that were included in this study was: liquidity, profitability, asset structure, growth opportunities, size, the non-debt tax shield, term spread and finally the primary interest of this study – economic crisis. To test this empiricly, models were created using two different methods of linear regression, and one of these had fixed effects. The models with the fixed effects was the decisive models for the outcome. The study empirically shows that the crisis affected the capital structure of SME’s in regards to that they exhibited a higher debt ratio though the crisis. More specific, the results indicated that SME’s had a higher short-term debt ratio during the crisis than the rest of the macroeconomic periods. Furthermore, the results shows that several of the capital structure determinants had an effect on both short- and long-term debt. / <p>Betyg B, 170619</p>
