    The Internationalisation of Cooperatives: The Case of the Mondragon Cooperative Corporation (2003)

    Notes: Abstract:  This paper outlines the internationalisation process of cooperatives in an economic environment determined by economic globalisation. The analysis is focused on the Mondragon Cooperative Corporation (MCC) in the Basque Country which is a point of reference for participatory enterprises all over the world. MCC is currently adapting to changing market conditions and pursuing a strategy of direct investment (joint ventures, greenfield investment and acquisitions) in priority international markets. Thus, the first part of the study is about the current situation: the problems and consequences related to the internationalisation process of the MCC. In the second part, we consider an analytical framework for developing measures and strategies which could facilitate international expansion but in a manner which is more in line with cooperative values. The third part focuses on the presentation and discussion, based on this analytical framework, of a number of proposals made within the MCC on international social-economic policy.

    Childcare and Welfare Mix in France (2003)

    Notes: Abstract:  ‘Proximity services’ have been the subject of frequent debate for more than a decade in French speaking countries. They can be defined as services which meet individual or collective needs and which are ‘local’ in either spatial or relational terms. Based on the situation in France, this paper aims to describe the many options available in the field of ‘proximity services’ and examine the support offered by the public authorities for the existing practices, considering that this support is representative of the evolutive relations between State, market and civil society. The limited success of the free market puts the question of a renewal of public intervention, which would accommodate all options available in this area, without being confined to a marketization of this field of activity. For this matter, the political embeddedness of associations and cooperatives is decisive for the future.

    The Organisational Evolution of the Childcare Regime in Germany: Issues and Dynamics of a Public-private Partnership (2003)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Science Ltd
    Annals of public and cooperative economics 74 (2003), S. 0

    ISSN: 1467-8292

    Notes: In many European countries, institutional childcare has developed as a field shaped by both statutory and associative agency, the German system being emblematic for this. In Germany, a considerable proportion of childcare services are provided by nonprofit organizations under public regulation. Departing from a historical overview, the article elaborates on the mixed economy of welfare in that system and sheds light on recent transformations of the existing public-private partnership. It is argued that with a range of cultural and civil-society-related evolutions, the system is going to adopt elements of a market regulation that are prone to change the rules of games within the partnership as such.

    The Structural Relation Between Mortgage and Market Interest Rates (2003)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Science Ltd
    Journal of business finance & accounting 30 (2003), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1468-5957
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This paper analyzes the dynamic relationship between primary and secondary mortgage markets and the short-term and long-term market interest rates. Using a series of monthly data on fixed rate mortgage rates and GNMA rates, we explore the dependence and speed of adjustment in these primary and secondary mortgage rates to each other as well as to the long and short-term government rates. The results indicate that residential mortgage rates in general, appear to follow the long-term rate and are not very sensitive to movements in the short-term interest rate.

    Efficiency, Ownership and Market Structure, Corporate Control and Governance in the Turkish Banking Industry (2003)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Science Ltd
    Journal of business finance & accounting 30 (2003), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1468-5957
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Turkish banks are quite heterogeneous in terms of organizational form, ownership structure, size, age, portfolio concentration, growth prospects and attitude toward risk. They also exhibit strong variations in performance as measured by several efficiency indices. In the light of theoretical advances in corporate finance and financial institutions, this paper is an in-depth cross-sectional analysis of the Turkish banking sector, which explores the various bank, market and regulatory characteristics that may explain the efficiency variations across banks. Consistent with the related hypotheses investigated, the results indicate that a number of independent bank characteristics are significantly correlated with various efficiency measures.

    Equity Rights Issues in Spain: Flotation Costs and Wealth Effects (2003)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Science Ltd
    Journal of business finance & accounting 30 (2003), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1468-5957
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This paper analyses the flotation costs and the share price reaction of equity offerings in Spain. The results report a positive relationship between relative flotation costs and the underwriting of an issue, and a negative relationship between such costs and ownership concentration. Fixed flotation costs and a negative relationship with the gross offer proceeds are also observed. On average, there is a negative share price reaction on the date of the ‘previous communication’ to the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores. The different sub-samples analysed according to the underwriting of the issue and the discount offered reveal no statistical differences.

    Assessing the Economic Significance of Return Predictability: A Research Note (2003)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Science Ltd
    Journal of business finance & accounting 30 (2003), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1468-5957
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: The predictability of stock returns is often assessed using classical statistical significance from predictive regressions. Statistical inference, however, can belie the economic importance with which investors regard various predictors. This paper examines the influence that predictors have on an investor's optimal portfolio allocations. The results show that return predictability is sufficient to induce horizon effects in optimal allocations. After incorporating estimation risk, however, little evidence of predictability remains. We also assess the relative importance of three predictor variables. While dividend yield is the most important predictor, optimal allocations are also sensitive to the term spread and the relative bill rate.

    Voluntary Disclosure of Nonproprietary Information: A Complete Equilibrium Characterization (2003)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Science Ltd

    Notes: The so-called disclosure principle is a ‘puzzle’ in the accounting literature: Game theoretic models of financial markets show that in equilibrium firms should disclose all their private information. Yet, the result is not convincing. Researchers have therefore built sophisticated models in order to demonstrate for which reasons the disclosure principle might fail. This note shows that even in the original model there are multiple equilibria. In those equilibria good types disclose and bad types do not. The commonly known full disclosure equilibrium is a limit point of the equilibrium set.
