An expanding economy, new technologies, and changing consumer preferences provided growth opportunities for firms in interwar Australia. This period saw an increase in the number of large-scale firms in mining, manufacturing, and a wide range of service industries. Firms unable to rely solely on retained earnings to fund expansion turned to the domestic stock exchanges. A new data set of capital raisings constructed from reports of prospectuses published in the financial press forms the basis for the conclusion that many firms used substantial injections of equity finance to augment internally generated sources of funds. That they were able to do so indicates a strong increase in the capacity of local stock exchanges and a greater willingness of individuals to hold part of their wealth ...
GAINESVILLE, Ga., March 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Johan Bollen and Huina Mao of "Twitter predicts the stock market" fame will address the 2011 Socionomics Summit on April 16 in Atlanta. The Indiana University academics will discuss their research on public mood sentiment data on Twitter, wherein they discovered that changes in social mood recorded on Twitter correlate with major trends in the Dow Jones Industrial Average days later. Bollen and Mao's groundbreaking work in computational social science is under negotiation to be tested in real time in a $40M hedge fund operated by Derwent Capital Markets. Their research shows that Twitter mood data predicts the stock market with 87.6 percent accuracy. Both researchers spoke with EWI's Jill Noble about their experiment; listen to the au...
The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of firms' capital expenditure on their working capital management. The author used the data colleted from listed companies in the Thailand Stock Exchange. The study used Shulman and Cox's (1985) Net Liquidity Balance and Working Capital Requirement as a proxy for working capital measurement and developed multiple regression models. The empirical research found that firms' capital expenditure has a significant impact on working capital management. The study also found that the firms' operating cash flow, which was recognized as a control variable, has a significant relationship with working capital management, which is consistent with findings of previous similar researches. The findings enhance the knowledge base of working capit...
This paper empirically examines the spatial and temporal responses of the New York City economy to a large, but spatially concentrated, exogenous shock to its capital stock: the terrorist attacks of Sep 11, 2001. The paper utilizes data before and after Sep 11 to study the response because it is believed that the size, location, and timing of the shock were unanticipated, and because the shock was large enough to create substantial dislocations in the city's economy. Analysis reveals that New York City's economy was surprisingly resilient to the Sep 11 attacks and the damage they caused, but the shock was associated with significant changes, particularly in the spatial distribution of activities. Furthermore, the particular character of the city's economy and the shock it sustained play...

The purpose of this article is to investigate the impact of the value creation efficiency on investors' capital gains on shares. To investigate the impact of corporate value creation efficiency on investors' capital gains, the author used the data collected from listed companies in Thailand's stock market and Pulic's (1998) Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC TM) as the measure of intellectual capital and a developed multiple regression model. The empirical research found that firms' intellectual capital has a significant positive relationship with its investors' capital gains on shares. The findings enhance the knowledge base of intellectual capital and develop a concept of intellectual capital in achieving competitive advantages in emerging economies such as Thailand's.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Venture capitalists hoping to strike it rich are increasingly betting on the entrepreneurial skills of U.S. immigrants -- a melting pot that has already cooked up more than $500 billion in shareholder wealth, according to a study to be released today. Immigrants launched nearly one in every five U.S. startups that relied on venture capital before turning to the stock market during a 35-year period ended in 2005, based on data compiled by two research groups, the National Foundation for American Policy and Content First.
