本論文探討美國次級房貸金融風暴對於國內指數股票型基金績效之影響。以金融風暴中最受矚目的雷曼兄弟破產日2008年9月15日為事件日，且以國內最早發行的6檔指數股票型基金作為主要研究對象，主要以事件分析法進行研究。本論文的目的為助於了解次貸金融風暴，對我國股市整體性之影響，以及投資人在金融環境以及經濟前景不明之時代，是否能藉由投資指數股票型基金，達到財富的相對保全。而由於樣本中6檔指數股票型基金各具特色，也可比較其績效，以作為投資策略設計之參考。 不同於傳統的開放型基金或封閉型基金，指數股票型基金的特色在於不主動調整投資組合，且具有市場買賣交易容易、基金管理費用較低、稅與交易成本較低、基金的投資組合公開且透明、基金的報價迅速且與股票市場同步化，以及可融資融券的設計等便於一般人投資的優點。 研究樣本：寶來台灣卓越50基金(TTT)、寶來台灣中型100基金(TMT)、富邦台灣科技指數基金(FTT)、寶來台灣電子科技基金(PTE)、寶來台商收成基金(PCP)及寶來台灣金融基金(PTF)等6種國內指數股票型基金。 研究期間：以2008年9月15日作為事件發生日，探討事件發生前29天到事件日當天，與事件日發生後一天到事件日發生後30天，兩個區間做為討論。 報酬率的衡量： 一、異常報酬率(AR)的計算。 二、累積異常報酬率(CAR)的計算。 三、平均異常報酬率(AAR)的計算。 四、累積平均異常報酬率(CAAR)的計算。 異常報酬的統計推論： 一、t統計量檢定法。 二、橫剖面法。 實證分析及結果：從累積異常報酬實證可以看出，次貸金融危機對於寶來金融影響最大，台灣50影響最小。

This paper uses multivariate DCC-GARCH model to investigate the volatility of dynamic correlation between MSCI Taiwan stock index and the USA, China, Japan , Asia and global stock market. The existence of stock market volatility asymmetry, volatility spread of infection and clustering effects also are analysed, while in case of the U.S. sub-prime mortgage crisis and triggered the global financial tsunami. It discusses the Taiwan stock market fluctuations and structural changes in the international markets and the market dynamics related to change of influence and change. The main findings are (1)The volatility of continuity between the spread of infection and the clustering effect between the Taiwan stock market and international market fluctuations, (2) During the global financial tsunami, the correlation between changes in the international market and the market Correlation of different dynamic fluctuations and structural changes occurring in different time point also show the impact of changes of individual markets (3)The correlation between MSCI Taiwan stock index and the USA, China , Japan, indicates that the impact of change of stock the Japanese stock market on the MSCI Taiwan stock index is low, while China and the MSCI Taiwan stock index-related enhances, (4) market structure changes, the MSCI Taiwan stock index and the global dynamic fluctuations in the market is still a significant, The visible impact of the shock oscillation is wide and return to equilibrium of adjustment is still ongoing.

This study seeks to determine whether the process of mortgage finance liberalization, manifested in concurrent activities of securitization, deregulation, and neo-liberal policy, have resulted in changes to the tenure of residents in neighborhoods in Tampa Bay. It makes use of existing literature on gentrification and mortgage finance and compares those findings with three sample neighborhoods in and around the city of Tampa. To do so the thesis employs data collected from lenders pursuant to the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, court records of sales and mortgages filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Hillsborough County, and interviews with stakeholders such as community leaders, activists, residents and those involved in the lending industry. It was discovered that the sample neighborhoods largely conform to expectations about the general pattern of investment of mortgage dollars in core, peripheral, and semi-peripheral neighborhoods. Close analysis indicates that the liberalization of the mortgage process clearly increased the frequency of resident turnover, thus reducing the tenure of residents in each neighborhood to varying degrees. Neighborhoods where traditional, deposit oriented, banks and thrifts dominated the lending market saw a lower tendency for the rapid churning of housing and thus can be expected to possess a lower turnover in residents, fewer examples of foreclosure, and a greater level of wealth accumulation for the homeowner.

The “Great Recession” of 2007 created havoc in the homebuilding industry, more than any other previous economic down cycle. Countless seasoned local homebuilders across the country did not survive. The impact of their failure on the economy, community, employment, lenders, suppliers, and subcontractors was devastating. While previous studies have sought to identify the symptoms and causes of business failure, very little research has been done on home builder business failure due to acts, omissions, characteristics, or other events which are non-financial. Specifically, those that are attributable to the failed entities' top management and leadership during the housing crisis and the Great Recession. Therefore, the purpose of this qualitative inquiry is to uncover those nonfinancial factors and help to fill the gap in the literature Additionally, we seek to find specific strategies that could be incorporated into the business models of local homebuilders which allow them to anticipate and navigate turbulent economic times. The ultimate goal of such strategies, however, is to shield the organizations of those builders from the negative effects of recessions and allow them to thrive in the aftermath.

The thesis is focused on content and impact of the new Basel Capital Accord, commonly known as Basel III. These rules react to recent development in global financial markets and introduce some substantial changes into regulatory approach, which include changes to the definition and required amount of regulatory capital and presents new liquidity requirements. The thesis then assesses new rules form two points of view. First, a quantitative model is constructed that predicts the impact of new rules on capital adequacy of four major Czech banks based on default rates data. In the second part of the analysis, institutional impact of new regulation is stressed, namely the question of how new rules fit within the theoretical framework of optimal regulatory architecture and what pitfalls they have. The thesis is unique in the eclectic nature of its approach, whereby two seemingly disparate approaches oppose each other and an attempt at synthesis is presented.

To achieve this goal the work is divided in 3 chapters and also a conclusion where we state our opinion about the high level of interest rate in Brazil and point out problems for further research / O presente trabalho busca trazer as contribuições de economistas brasileiros (tanto ortodoxos como heterodoxos) sobre a persistência de elevadas taxas de juros no Brasil à luz da conjuntura econômica recente (2008 a 2013) bem como fornecer um contrapronto crítico sob o ponto de vista da literatura keynesiana onde temos no corolário da Preferência pela Liquidez os fundamentos da taxa de juros monetária. Para tanto organizamos a presente dissertação em três capítulos mais uma conclusão onde apontaremos nossa própria opinião sobre as teses apresentadas bem com sugestões de encaminhamento sobre o tema

The US sub-prime mortgage crisis greatly affected not only the US economy but also other countries in the world. This thesis employs the extreme value theory and Value at Risk (VaR) analysis to assess the impact of the US sub-prime mortgage crisis on various stock markets of the MSCI indexes, including 10 countries and 7 areas. It is reasonable to guess that VaR value should increase after the crisis. The empirical analyses on these indexes conclude that (1) the American market indexes not only do not agree with the guess after the crisis but four American indexes are identical; (2) not all the Asia market indexes consist with the guess; (3) the European market indexes agree with the guess; (4) MSCI AC PACIFIC, NEW ZEALAND, and AUSTRALIA consist with the guess; (5) the behavior for the positive log returns is different from that for the negative returns in some MSCI indexes. Over speaking, the impacts of US sub-prime mortgage crisis on those countries are not the same.

This thesis contains three self-contained chapters, covering different subjects but using similar methods: The Effect of Foreclosure Laws on Securitization: Evidence from U.S. States shows that mortgage loans are less likely to be securitized in states with costlier foreclosure procedures. I interpret this in light of prior literature showing a higher foreclosure risk for securitized loans, due to unwillingness to renegotiate by the agents working on behalf of investors. Moreover, the magnitude of the effect increases for loans with higher risk of default, and disappears for loans where state foreclosure laws usually do not apply. Do daughters make family firms more sustainable? studies listed companies with a family owning a large block of shares, and asks how the family composition affects the company’s policies. Creating a novel Swedish data set, I find that environmental performance improves when the family has more daughters. The effect does not seem to operate through more adult daughters leading to more female CEOs or board members, or through the appointment of family members as CEOs. Bank taxes, leverage and risk uses staggered changes in US state-level bank taxation, and documents an increase in leverage when taxes are raised. Banks partly dampen the effect by adjusting their Tier 2 capital (a lower-quality form of regulatory capital that is less able to absorb losses), and by reducing the risk on the asset side of the balance sheet as measured by regulators. / <p>Diss.
