Market Valuation of Environmental Performance

Elshahat, Islam M 14 September 2010 (has links)
This research investigated the general association between corporate environmental performance and the firms’ annual returns independent of any particular environmental event. The association analysis was based on the most recent environmental data for the years 2006, 2007, and 2008. The results indicated that while some environmental variables were significantly associated with firms’ returns, the majority were not. The results also indicated that environmental concerns were more likely to be associated with increase in the firm value than were environmental strengths; however, there were no mean differences between firms whose environmental performance increased as compared with those whose performance deteriorated. Overall, the results provided support for the perspective that environmental strengths require firm expenditures that place additional financial burdens on firms, resulting in lower stock returns.

Valuation theory and real property assessment

Rollo, Gordon Paul January 1971 (has links)
The real property tax has a major impact on real property owners in all Canadian municipalities. As with all systems of taxation it is important that the burden of this tax be distributed fairly and equitably. Legislators have attempted to ensure equitable treatment among real property owners by requiring that the basis of assessment should be 'actual value'. However, due to the large numbers of properties to be valued, assessors have not been able to use the market approach to value, a valuation technique known to produce 'actual values'. Rather, they have resorted to the more subjective cost approach to value. While the mechanics of the cost approach lend themselves to the mass valuation problem, they rarely produce values that can be equated with actual market values. The application of multiple regression analysis is presented as a solution to this valuation problem. Multiple regression analysis enables the assessor to produce objectively the 'actual value' of all single family homes in a municipality. After presenting multiple regression analysis as a modern application of the market approach to value, the applicability of this valuation technique is tested on actual sales data. A sample of approximately four hundred recently sold single family homes is subjected to valuation by multiple regression analysis. Various experiments, including means of stratifying the data are presented in an attempt to produce high standards of solution. While the statistical results of the experiment are not of sufficient calibre for practical assessment purposes, they do reveal how continued experimentation can improve the applicability of this valuation technique to mass appraisal. Multiple regression analysis is the assessor's tool of the future. It facilitates the application of a valuation technique that will permit the assessor to meet his statutory obligation while still allowing him to adhere to sound appraisal methodology. / Business, Sauder School of / Graduate

A critical review of the valuation processes of petrol filling stations in terms of the Municipal Property Rates Act 2004

Margolius, Jerry January 2012 (has links)
In 2004, the Municipal Property Rates Act 6 of 2004 (MPRA) was promulgated which repealed all the Valuation Ordinances that existed in South Africa. This introduced a single piece of legislation for the purposes of conducting municipal valuations. This study concentrated on the Cape Town Metropolitan 2006 General Valuation that, at the time, was the first local authority to conduct municipal valuations in terms of the new legislation. The research explored the extent to which local authorities intervened in the valuation process, the in dependent judgment of property valuers as well as non-co-operation by oil companies during the valuation process, which was evident by them not responding to the survey questions. The manner in which petrol filling stations were valued, the most frequently used methodology applied and the application of the MPRA in the process were explored. The research was supplemented with a survey of property valuers employed by the local authorities as well as in private practices. This culminated in a holistic overview of the shortcomings in the legislation, the methodology and practice by interested parties in arriving at the municipal valuation in order to provide a critical review. From the critical review, the shortcomings in the valuation processes were identified, the methodology was addressed and recommendations made to the local authority.

Using contingent valuation data to simulate referendums

Hudson, Sara P. 30 March 2010 (has links)
Does the way a question is asked affect the answer given? This thesis looks at this question from two perspectives. First, using contingent valuation data for water quality in the Monongahela River in Western Pennsylvania, an analysis is performed to test for differences in responses across four different formats of the willingness-to-pay question. This analysis shows that the question format has some systematic relationship with the valuation responses given. Specifically, iterative bidding games with high starting points lead to higher willingness-to-pay values than other formats. This result appears to arise from information relayed to the respondent from the question format. That is, since the bidding begins at a high value the respondent interprets that information as a cue to what the value of the commodity should be. The four different question formats are then re-interpreted in a referendum context. Referendum campaigns can be characterized by the amount of information provided to the voters and the degree of focus of that information. For example, some referendum campaigns give the voters a great deal of data, and that data all gives a consistent message. Other campaigns provide very little information for the voters to use in their decision. By transforming the willingness-to-pay data into a discrete-choice format, referendum models are simulated. Then, an analysis shows how the characteristics of the information content affect the vote. Also, the value of the median voter is calculated. This median shows the value at which the referendum just passes. This analysis shows that the campaign associated with the high starting point bidding game yields that highest percentage of yes votes and the highest median voter value. / Master of Arts
