Effects of Credit, Income Diversification and Other Factors on Child Nutrition in MalawiSpear, Kenneth D. 16 October 2001 (has links)
In this study, six regression equations are used to determine the effects of credit and other factors on the nutritional status of boys and girls in Malawi. No significant effects of access to credit on child nutritional status were found. Same-sex parental preference for child nutrition was found. Infrastructural variables are determined to have the most significant influence in reducing child malnutrition levels. Access to credit is a new measure and its limitations are brought out in the study. / Master of Science

The law relating to documentary credits from a South African perspective with special reference to the legal position of the issuing and confirming banksHugo, Charl Francois 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis ((LLD (Law))--University of Stellenbosch, 1996. / 424 leaves single sided printed, preliminary pages and numbered pages 1-356. Includes bibliography, digitized at 300 dpi (OCR), used Bizhub 250. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The documentary credit is one of the most important methods of payment utilised in international trade. This versatile instrument is encountered in a variety of forms. In its simplest form it is an undertaking by a bank given on application by a buyer-importer (the bank's client) to pay the seller-exporter (the beneficiary) against delivery of stipulated documents. It has two essential characteristics: (i) the bank's undertaking to pay the beneficiary is independent of the contract of sale and the contract between the bank and its client; and (ii) the bank will pay only against the precise documents stipulated in the credit. In Chapter One the different relationships established between the parties involved are dealt with against this background, and the different types of credits are discussed. Documentary credits are, comparatively speaking, modern instruments. Possible historical origins are explored briefly in Chapter Two. Documentary credits are virtually invariably applied for and issued subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (the UCP). The UCP is a set of rules formulated by the International Chamber of Commerce. The modern history of documentary credits as reflected in the development of the UCP is discussed in Chapter Three. The legal nature of the UCP is analysed from a civilian, common-law and South African perspective in Chapter Four. The legal nature of the relationship between the bank and the beneficiary is the focal point of Chapter Five. The question is approached from a civilian (especially German and Dutch), common-law (especially English and American) and South African point of view. Special attention is devoted to the ability (or inability) of the traditional law of contract of the different jurisdictions to provide a theoretical foundation for (i) the independence of the bank's obligation, and (ii) the irrevocability of the bank's undertaking. The conclusion arrived at is that the South African law of contract is able to provide an adequate basis for this relationship in general and these two matters in particular. In the final chapter the defences available to the bank against the beneficiary's claim are scrutinised, as well as the possibility of the bank being interdicted from paying the beneficiary. Related issues such as anti-dissipation interdicts and attachments in the documentary-credit context are also dealt with. These questions are likewise investigated from a civilian, common-law and South African perspective. This investigation leads to the conclusion that the South African law is essentially in harmony with the law elsewhere and that our courts have been successful to date in protecting the integrity of documentary credits. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die dokumentêre kredietbrief is een van die belangrikste betalingsmetodes wat in die internasionale handel aangewend word. Hierdie buigbare middel kan 'n verskeidenheid van vorms aanneem. In sy eenvoudigste vorm is dit 'n onderneming deur 'n bank wat op aansoek van 'n koper-invoerder (die bank se kliënt) aan die verkoper-uitvoerder (die begunstigde) gegee word. Dit het twee essensiele eienskappe: (i) die onderneming van die bank om die begunstigde te betaal is onafhanklik van die koopkontrak sowel as die kontrak tussen die bank en sy klient; en (ii) die bank sal slegs betaal teen lewering van die presiese dokumente vereis in die kredietbrief. In Hoofstuk Een word die verskillende verhoudinge tussen die partye betrokke teen hierdie agtergrond bespreek asook die verskillende tipes kredietbriewe. Dokumentere kredietbriewe is relatief gesproke moderne instrumente. Moontlike historiese oorspronge word kortliks in Hoofstuk Twee verken. Kredietbriewe word bykans sonder uitsondering aangevra en uitgereik onderworpe aan die Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (die UCP). Die UCP is 'n stel reels wat deur die Internasionale Kamer van Koophandel opgestel is. Die moderne geskiedenis van kredietbriewe soos in die ontwikkeling van die UCP weerspieel, is die hoofonderwerp van Hoofstuk Drie. In Hoofstuk Vier word die regsaard van die UCP vanuit die perspektief van die regstelsels baseer op die ius civile, die common-law stelsels en die Suid-Afrikaanse reg beskou. In Hoofstuk Vyf word op die regsaard van die verhouding tussen die bank en die begunstigde gefokus. Die aangeleentheid word benader vanuit 'n ius civile (veral Duitse en Nederlandse) perspektief, 'n common-law (veral Engelse en Amerikaanse) perspektief, asook 'n Suid-Afrikaanse perspektief. Besondere aandag word verleen aan die vermoe (of onvermoe) van die tradisionele kontraktereg in die verskillende jurisdiksies om 'n teoretiese grondslag daar te stel vir: (i) die onafhanklikheid van die bank se verpligting; en (ii) die onherroepbaarheid van die bank se betalingsonderneming. Daar word tot die gevolgtrekking geraak dat die Suid-Afrikaanse kontraktereg wel in staat is om 'n bevredigende basis vir die verhouding in die algemeen, en hierdie twee aangeleenthede in die besonder, daar te stel. In die laaste hoofstuk word aandag geskenk aan die verwere wat 'n bank teenoor die begunstigde se aanspraak kan opper, asook aan die moontlikheid dat die bank by wyse van interdik belet kan word om die begunstigde te betaal. Verwante aangeleenthede soos interdikte in securitatem debiti en beslagleggings in die konteks van kredietbriewe word ook bygehaal. Hierdie aangeleenthede word eweneens vanuit 'n ius civile, common-law, en Suid-Afrikaanse perspektief benader. Die ondersoek lei tot die gevolgtrekking dat die Suid-Afrikaanse reg breedweg beskou in harmonie is met ander stelsels en dat ons howe die integriteit van kredietbriewe tot dusver suksesvol beskerm het.

Úvěr pro spotřebitele / Consumer credit.Chudoba, Jan January 2018 (has links)
This diploma thesis analyzes legislation governing consumer credit. In the recent past, a notable development has occurred in this particular area of consumer protection, especially in the field of European legislation. This development has also been reflected in the Czech legal system due to the necessity of transposing European directives. This diploma thesis describes the development of consumer credit legislation at European level starting with Directive 87/102/EHS and also by the Consumer Credit Directive and the Mortgage Credit Directive, which is the last legislative act of the Union legislator in this area and in the domestic legal system starting with Act 321/2001, following with Act 145/2010 and finishing with the current legislation by the Consumer Credit Act. The Consumer Credit Act contains a comprehensive regulation of the activities of providing and mediating consumer credit, regulation of entities operating on the consumer credit market as well as rights and obligations in the provision and mediation of consumer credit. The first chapter defines terms needed to understand consumer credit issues such as consumer, credit and consumer credit terms. The first chapter also contains a basic description of the issue of consumer protection, which, as a legal area, covers all areas of legal...

"Modelos de risco de crédito de clientes: Uma aplicação a dados reais" / Customer Scoring Models: An application to Real DataPereira, Gustavo Henrique de Araujo 23 August 2004 (has links)
Modelos de customer scoring são utilizados para mensurar o risco de crédito de clientes de instituições financeiras. Neste trabalho, são apresentadas três estratégias que podem ser utilizadas para o desenvolvimento desses modelos. São discutidas as vantagens de cada uma dessas estratégias, bem como os modelos e a teoria estatística associada a elas. Algumas medidas de performance usualmente utilizadas na comparação de modelos de risco de crédito são descritas. Modelos para cada uma das estratégias são ajustados utilizando-se dados reais obtidos de uma instituição financeira. A performance das estratégias para esse conjunto de dados é comparada a partir de medidas usualmente utilizadas na avaliação de modelos de risco de crédito. Uma simulação também é desenvolvida com o propósito de comparar o desempenho das estratégias em condições controladas. / Customer scoring models are used to measure the credit risk of financial institution´s customers. In this work, we present three strategies that can be used to develop these models. We discuss the advantages of each of the strategies, as well as the models and statistical theory related with them. We fit models for each of these strategies using real data of a financial institution. We compare the strategies´s performance through some measures that are usually used to validate credit risk models. We still develop a simulation to study the strategies under controlled conditions.

Estratégias para o desenvolvimento de modelos de credit score com inferência de rejeitados. / Strategies for the development of credit score with the inference rejectedAlves, Mauro Correia 03 September 2008 (has links)
Modelos de credit score são usualmente desenvolvidos somente com informações dos proponentes aceitos. Neste trabalho foram consideradas estratégias que podem ser utilizadas para o desenvolvimento de modelos de credit score com a inclusão das informações dos rejeitados. Foram avaliadas as seguintes técnicas de inferência de rejeitados: classificação dos rejeitados como clientes Maus, parcelamento, dados aumentados, uso de informações de mercado e ainda a estratégia de aceitar proponentes rejeitados para acompanhamento e desenvolvimento de novos modelos de risco de crédito. Para a avaliação e comparação dos modelos foram utilizadas as medidas de desempenho: estatística de Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS), área sob a curva de Lorentz (ROC), área entre as curvas de distribuição acumulada dos escores (AEC), diferença entre as taxas de inadimplência nos intervalos do escore definidos pelos decis e coeficiente de Gini. Concluiu-se que dentre as quatro primeiras técnicas avaliadas, o uso de informaçõoes de mercado foi a que apresentou melhor desempenho. Quanto à estratégia de aceitar proponentes rejeitados, observou-se que há um ganho em relação ao modelo ajustado só com base nos proponentes aceitos. / Credit scoring models are usually built using only information of accepted applicants. This text considered strategies that can be used to develop credit score models with inclusion of the information of the rejects. We evaluated the techniques of reject inference: classification of rejected customers as bad, parceling, augmentation, use of market information and the strategy of accepting rejected proponents for monitoring and developing new models of credit risk. For the evaluation and comparison between models were used performance measures: Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistics (KS), the area under the Lorentz Curve (ROC), area between cumulative distribution curves of the scores (AEC), difference among the delinquency rate in the score buckets based on deciles (DTI) and the Gini coefficient. We concluded that among the first four techniques evaluated, the fourth (use of market information) had the best performance. For the strategy to accept rejected bidders, it was observed that there is a gain in relation to the model that uses only information of accepted applicants.

The Valuation of Credit Default SwapsDiallo, Nafi C 11 January 2006 (has links)
The credit derivatives market has known an incredible development since its advent in the 1990's. Today there is a plethora of credit derivatives going from the simplest ones, credit default swaps (CDS), to more complex ones such as synthetic single-tranche collateralized debt obligations. Valuing this rich panel of products involves modeling credit risk. For this purpose, two main approaches have been explored and proposed since 1976. The first approach is the Structural approach, first proposed by Merton in 1976, following the work of Black-Scholes for pricing stock options. This approach relies in the capital structure of a firm to model its probability of default. The other approach is called the Reduced-form approach or the hazard rate approach. It is pioneered by Duffie, Lando, Jarrow among others. The main thesis in this approach is that default should be modeled as a jump process. The objective of this work is to value Asset-backed Credit default swaps using the hazard rate approach.
