Reducing cost of remittances is among the sustainable development goals and leading institutions and figures in the field advocate for cheaper transaction costs. Remittances remained resilient during the financial crisis overall and growth continues in the aftermath. In this paper, cost of sending remittances from the United Kingdom, a major remittances source country, to a selected group of 10 developing countries is examined to understand the trends in prices. Results show that overall, in selected countries there is a declining tendency, while in certain corridors and by certain operators, the prices of remittances did not decline as desired. Hence, possibly billions of remittances pounds did not reach to those in grave need.

<p>In a setting of economic and financial crisis, most companies experienced a reduction in their profitability. Thus, our study allows us to identify vertical integration strategies developed by companies to overcome the crisis. This paper is aimed at unveiling the determining factors of the profitability of Spanish agrifood firms, depending on whether they are backwards vertically integrated or not. In order to attain our objective, we implemented a first difference regression model. The main contributions of the article lie in the incorporation of a variable that distinguishes integrated firms from the rest and the separate analysis of the two groups of firms. The results suggest that firms that seek to differentiate themselves, either through offering a specific product or through providing higher quality with a view to maintaining their reputation, are more likely to adopt vertical integration due to the higher transaction costs of relations with suppliers. The grouping carried out in this study is shown to be highly relevant as asset structure implies different strategies for actions aimed at increasing profitability.</p>

In this paper we investigate the valuation efficiency of the Eurex market for DAX single stock options. As a measure of arbitrage potential we use an adapted version of Stoll’s put-call parity model. By calculating deviations from the theoretical fair put and call prices before and during the financial crisis in 2008, we find evidence for a decrease in market’s valuation efficiency. Valuation efficiency is even worse for German financial stocks for which short selling was restricted. Although considerable profit opportunities are found, only a small number turn out to be profitable after transaction costs are considered. Our research complements the existing research by investigating American type stock options on a fully electronic exchange in both, volatile and stable markets.
