Real world investment decisions are generally made sequentially over time. The possibility of subsequent decisions like suspending a project must be considered when an initial investment decision is made. This seems to be particularly important in the case of investments, which take a long 'time to build'. This paper analyzes the impact of lags between the initial investment decision and the co...

Does short selling help or hinder disciplining managerial behavior? We examine managerial investment decision in a model with informed short-selling and short-term managerial incentives and show that short selling can cause firms to overinvest. The overinvestment problem is more severe for managers with stronger short-term incentives and for firms that lack quality investment opportunities. Emp...

The aim of this paper is to examine the concentration of wealth among the group of top wealth holders, defined as those with wealth in excess of a high cut off. The paper begins by considering the definition of this cut off, analogous to the definition of a poverty line at the other end of the distribution.

calculating total cast of bank resources procurement methods which include current -free loan deposit, saving interest-free loan deposit, regular and net short-term investment deposit, long-term investment deposit and surety bond cash deposit and presenting their optimal integration require precise scientific studies. hence, this study is an attempt to know which methods are the best optimal in...

We begin the development of a theory of Banach spaces in the definable setting of o-minimal structures. We outline several results which develop the theory of compact embeddings for explicitly given function spaces. One aim is to explain the substantive underpinnings of an important observation used in the proof of the Reparameterization Theorem of Pila and Wilkie in [2]. We place this observat...
