Handbook of Empirical Corporate Finance, vol. 1C

1st Edition

English

The growing interest in everything "corporate" is fueled by a healthy combination of fundamental theoretical developments and recent widespread access to large transactional data bases. A less scientific—but nevertheless important—source of inspiration is a growing awareness of the important social implications of corporate behavior and governance. This Handbook takes stock of the main empirical findings to date across a spectrum of corporate finance issues ranging from econometric methodology to raising capital and capital structure choice. Other volumes examine corporate investment behavior and governance. Our three-volume survey captures the results of progress through a combination of large-sample data descriptions, informal hypothesis testing, as well as structural tests of theory. With researchers employing a wide spectrum of econometric techniques, institutional settings, and market structures in order to distill the central message in the data, these volumes represent an enormous effort in systematizing and analyzing the most important subjects in corporate finance.

Urban Freight Transportation Management and Planning: Practice and Theory provides the reader with a solid understanding of the role of urban freight activity on metropolitan economies, the externalities produced by freight activity, and effective public sector initiatives to mitigate or eliminate altogether negative externalities. This book addresses key topics related to urban freight and solutions for key challenges from a practitioner perspective.The authors systematically and pedagogically provide key and easy-to-digest information on a range of topics, including local economies and the role of supply chains and freight activity; technical procedures to estimate freight generation and freight trip generation; technical details about the wide range of initiatives that could address freight issues; and effective urban freight management and planning process (including both transportation and land-use). They also discuss simplified techniques to model and understand freight activity to support decision-making, and they incorporate key elements of sustainability and technology in different sections to provide an up-to-date view on how these relevant topics affect and are affected by urban freight.This book is a valuable resource for practitioners as well as researchers and graduate students interested in gaining a thorough understanding of the realities of urban freight systems, supply chains, and urban freight management, policy, and planning.

Mobility Patterns, Big Data and Transport Analytics: Tools and Applications for Modeling, Second Edition provides a guide to the new analytical framework and its relation to big data, focusing on capturing, predicting, visualizing, and controlling mobility patterns—a key aspect of transportation modeling. The book features prominent international experts who provide overviews on new analytical frameworks, applications, and concepts in mobility analysis and transportation systems. Fields covered are evolving rapidly, and this new edition updates existing material and provides new chapters that reflect recent developments in the field (such as the emergence of active, transfer and reinforcement learning).Users will find a detailed, mobility ‘structural’ analysis and a look at the extensive behavioral characteristics of transport, observability requirements, limitations for realistic transportation applications, and transportation systems analysis that are related to complex processes and phenomena. This book bridges the gap between big data, data science, and transportation systems analysis with a study of big data’s impact on mobility and an introduction to the tools necessary to apply new techniques.
