Role Of Long Term Finance For Affecting Financial Volatility

Development provides a picture of the many differing ways people have of being in the world and, in particular, the demands the world places on development and the capacity of adults to meet

International development and underdevelopment are major issues in global society today. John Perkins’ book The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man is a very critical account on the activities of private corporations such as MAIN and international financial institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund and how many actions are based on self-interest, corruption and greed. The book does an exceptional job at giving us an insider’s perspective on why debt induced developing nations are in a constant state of underdevelopment from the corrupt actions of Economic Hit Men and their colleagues Jackals who deal with the dirty side of the business and political economics. Global economics and debt have

The differences between standards of living in developed and developing nations have been made more evident by the rapid pace of technological innovation. Many world leaders consider the poor circumstances of developing nations to be tragedies that should be solved. Some altruistic organizations such as the World Bank have attempted to improve the conditions in developing nations through deliberate development, in which they would enable an all-encompassing plan aimed at efficiently reducing material suffering. However, in The Tyranny of Experts, Easterly argues that development approaches are flawed because they often emphasize material goods at the detriment of individual rights. Instead, he argues for giving developing nations the freedom to improve themselves by supporting democracy and personal rights. In explaining this idea, he comments on four aspects of the two differing methodologies: blank slate versus learning from history, nations versus individuals, conscious direction versus spontaneous solutions, and authoritarian rule versus free development.

While using debt may add pressure to a company’s ongoing operations as a result of having to meet interest-payment obligations, it helps retain more profits within the company compared to using equity, which requires the sharing of company profits with equity holders. Using debt, companies need to pay only the amount of interest out of their profits. Using equity, on the other hand, the more profits a company makes, the more it has to share with equity investors. To take advantage of such a debt-financing feature, companies often use debt to finance stable business operations in which they can more easily make ongoing interest payments and, meanwhile, retain the rest of the profits to themselves.

This paper examines the impact of federal regulation in the United States on the volatility of stock returns for firms in different segments of the financial service industry. I examine the volatility of stock returns for banks, savings associations, securities firms and insurance companies. Moreover, I compare the volatility dependence of stock returns for these segments with the introduction of new federal regulation, specifically the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act).

Charles Kenny’s Getting Better and Nina Munk’s profile of Jeffrey Sachs in The Idealist represents two distinct perspectives on how best to promote development and the challenges associated with implementing such transformative visions. Jeffery Sachs takes a very straight forward approach to problem of how to eradicate poverty. He claimed that in order to eradicate poverty all we need to do is increase the monetary aid these underdeveloped countries. While Charles Kenny takes a more holistic approach. He claims we should focus less income to determine development and focus more on human development factors in order to gradually promote development. After reading both of these books, I believe

National and international development is a human instinct and serves only one specific purpose; which is the advancement of humanity and specifically the betterment of the quality of life for everyone. The terminology ‘development’ usually includes such areas as foreign aid, healthcare, equality, infrastructure, economics, human rights and education as well as many others. International development differs compared to national development; it was created by governments and institutions after World War Two in order to concentrate on topics like easing poverty and to improve living conditions in destroyed countries, but more importantly in former colonies which were now free and to become part of a different and hopefully better world.

I am interested in the term developing nation because it is a broad topic and several countries fall under this term as well as a wide range of other subject matter. The issues surrounding a developing nation are vastly different than those surrounding a developed nation. I am also interested in learning more about the characteristics of a developing nation and the things that developed nations are doing to assist those in developing countries. I am also interested in gaining an understanding of the developing nations’ growth, particularly, in areas of output and trade and what roles are developing nations playing in the world economy.

The word “Public policy” has never been agreeable to any specific definitions. Consequently, many scholars have used their own definitions to describe the analytical frameworks of public policy. Hence, the contemporary nature of development trends has led to the diversity of contestations about the concept of political discourse, thinking and practical application. According to Torado (1985:85), development is defined as a multi-dimensional process involving major changes in social structures, popular attitudes and national institutions as well as the acceleration of economic growth, the reduction of inequality and the eradication of absolute poverty. Development, in its essence, must represent the whole gamut of change by which an entire social system is tuned to the diverse basic needs and desires of individuals and social groups within that system moves away from a condition of life widely perceived as unsatisfactory and toward a situation or condition of life regarded as materially and spiritually 'better'”.

Development is defined as “the process of change operating over time- the process by which countries and societies advance and become richer’’. The modern 20th century defines development as” the process of change which allows all the basic needs of a region to be met, thereby achieving greater social justice and quality of life and encouraging people to fulfill their potential’’. Todaro defines development as “the process of improving the quality of all human lives through raising people’s living standards, their incomes, consumption levels of food, medical services, education, raising people’s self-esteem through the establishment of social, political and economic systems and institutions that promote dignity and respect and increasing people’s

Introduction: The purpose of this paper is to define development, and discuss my own theory of Change, Observation /case study and conclusion.

While in table 2 is illustrated, where the additional value from an increased leverage is going, we now have a closer look at where the change in value is coming from. For this purpose, we divide the free cash flow of the firm into pure business flows and cash flows resulting from financing effects and discount them at a consistent rate reflecting the cash flows’ risk.

During the last decades, the way Development is managed and how it addresses problems have evolved. As conventional approaches failed to meet objectives, successive actions have tried to make development practice more efficient and participatory. Nonetheless, difficulties persist, with an increasing trade-off between achieving equity through participation and the efficiency of managerialism. Linear, pre-designed implementation models like the blueprint are still the main approaches to put theory into practice (Maclay, 2015).

The word ‘development’ has been an issue of great discussion in the media both in developing countries both in Africa and the world at large. The leaders of LDCs have for years been trying to change their countries for the better so as to bring them up to par with the developed countries of the world but can most developing countries can show, much of this effort has proved to be in vain as these countries are still struggling. These countries are in what is termed as the crisis of development which can be seen to be a result of two sets of factors; Internal and external factors. This paper is clearly going to identify and critically discuss both sets of factors of the crisis of development. Once this is done, the essay will move on to

Political factors and macroeconomic indicators have earned an ever-increasing academic and public attention in influencing the financial health of a country since last few decades. The stock market performance is not an exception. For instance, two major political events, the ‘9/11 attack on the USA’ of 2001 and the ‘Arab spring movement’ in 2011 had down-turned the stock market performance markedly, signalling the compelled importance of investigating the impact of political conditions on stock market activities.
