The Rise and Fall of Brownfield Concessions

This chapter explains the fate of brownfield concessions. In the early 1990s, these public-private partnerships (PPPs) served briefly as the flagship of the global PPP movement, and were highly recommended by the development community as “privatization” solutions to many of the problems facing infrastructure utilities in low-income countries. These concessions involve the construction of new infrastructure assets to improve or extend existing facilities, but mostly focus on rehabilitation of existing assets. Theoretically, such projects should be relatively easy to do because risks associated with initial financing and construction are largely eliminated by the time a PPP contract is signed. But since the 1997 Asian crisis, relatively little investment has been generated by these projects. In the poorest countries, very few of these projects have been attempted and much of the related investment has actually come from governments or their development partners. What accounts for the rise and fall in popularity of brownfield concessions?

Crisis y cambios estructurales en el sector bancario español: Una comparación con otros sistemas financieros

The grave economic crisis that accompanied the initial financing crisis, whose origin is established in the housing sector in the United States of America, and the following tensions in the European sovereign debt markets, generated important stability and solvency problems in the Spanish banking sector. This environment of profound economic and financing instability constitutes the starting point of this work, that has as its main objective, in the first place, to realize an analysis of the financing reforms adopted by the Spanish authorities since the end of 2008, the moment in which short or medium range steps were implemented to face up to the more immediate consequences of the crisis, until the end of the financing assistance program, and, in the second place, to compare the results obtained with those corresponding to other banking systems that have also received public support.

Impact of ethnicity and self-employment on initial financing and business performance in entrepreneurship in China

Purpose The purpose of the current study is to analyze the influence that is caused by ethnicity and volunteer self-employment in entrepreneurship on the initial financing and business performance of Chinese enterprises. The increasing trend of entrepreneurship has raised certain ethnic challenges in entrepreneurship owing to globalization and now there are several minority groups that are running their households in China. So, the current study aims to assess whether the minority-operated and majority-operated firms have different access to initial financing and different business performance. Design/methodology/approach The data are collected from 25 Chinese enterprises about the current variables, and the relationships are tested. This study has used the ordinary least of square (OLS) regression model to examine the findings. Findings The purposive sampling is used in the current study because the purpose of the present research is to understand and study the role of ethnicity and self-employment in initial financing and business performance of Chinese enterprises and so the data was collected from related enterprises. This study has used the ordinary least of square (OLS) regression model to examine the findings. Originality/value The current findings have significant implications in theory and practice. This study will be a great addition to the literature because the self-employment has never been examined before in such models to assess the role of forceful or volunteer self-employment in entrepreneurship, and so, it will open new doors of research for future researchers.

EU-financed peripheral large-scale infrastructure projects and the White Elephant syndrome: The example of Rail Baltica

The present study revolves around the question of the appropriateness of “the White Elephant syndrome” to characterise the nature of the planned trans-Baltic railway project Rail Baltica (RB) in terms of its initial financing, long-term profitability and symbolic importance. Whereas, in general, the expected outcome of the project goes well together with the EU Cohesion Policy goals, in its concrete application RB could serve as an example of the tendency of politicians and public servants to institutionally lock themselves into certain irrational choices about publicly financed mega-projects. This is what “the White Elephant syndrome” metaphor illustrates. Methodologically, this paper aims to analyse whether RB meets the common criteria of “the White Elephant syndrome” of public investments or if it can be seen as a sustainable and profitable long-term project after the initial investment.

Owner-Managed UK Corporate Start-Ups: An Exploratory Study of Financing and Failure

After highlighting the importance of small companies to the UK economy, new archival evidence is provided from an exploratory study which investigates the financing and failure of 21,147 UK single owner-managed (OM) corporate start-ups. Relative to comparable US survey evidence, UK OM corporate start-ups rely very heavily on debt financing from inception, with minimal equity being injected by owners and with retained earnings making only a modest contribution to initial financing. Financial gearing is found to be an important determinant of failure after controlling for company-specific and owner characteristics. Interestingly, the results indicate that foreign-owned company start-ups are less failure prone. Based on the empirical findings of the study and that of extant research, a number of suggested avenues for future research are discussed.

Update on the Financing of the Fund's Concessional Assistance and Debt Relief to Low-Income Member Countries

This paper reviews recent developments in the financing of the Fund’s concessional lending and debt relief since the October 2014 Update. It presents the latest available data including the new commitments of loan resources to the PRGT and the sources of initial financing for the newly created CCR Trust, replacing the PCDR Trust. It also discusses the PRGT’s potential self sustaining capacity in the context of longer term projections of the demand for concessional lending and robustness to alternative scenarios.

The Importance of Small High-Technology Firms to Economic Growth …

Are small high-technology firms more important to economic growth and wealth creation than has generally been recognized? Will their importance continue to increase? The author's answers are yes. Technology change, innovation and breakthroughs will continue to become more important. Attracting enormous amounts of very high risk capital is key to success. Small high-technology firms have unique advantages, including raising capital through the possibility of exponential appreciation of the value of their stock. The need is for initial financing to determine the technical feasibility of ‘too high risk’ ideas and reduce the risk to levels acceptable to private investors. The $1.2 billion US Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program is designed to do that. It has recently been renewed until 2008.
