The influence of property, plant and equipment (Fixed Assets) and the quality of infrastructure on return was analyzed in the hospitality industry in emerging markets. The analysis unit was Colombia, a member of the CIVETS emerging market group. Financial healthwas determined by the relationships among return on fixed assets ratio,fixed assets net worth and fixed assets turnover ratios. Besides...

Wealth has been given attention as one of the factors leading to increased economic inequality [1,2]. Net worth affects lives low-income families because they have had disadvantages in accessing activities and less opportunity accumulate their own assets. The lack asset accumulation thus restricts mobility across individuals [3]. For instance, study it was found that female-headed households lo...

While a great portion of the scheduling literature focuses on time-based criteria, the most important goal of management is maximizing the profitability of the firm. In this paper, the net preset value criterion is studied taking account of linear time-dependent cash flows in single machine and flow shop scheduling problems. First, a heuristic method is presented for the single machine scheduli...

This paper deals with resource unconstrained project scheduling problems with the objective of maximizing the net present value (NPV) of project cash flows. Here we present a heuristic algorithm named as differential procedure (Dif_AOA).&#10In order to evaluate the efficiency of this algorithm, networks with node numbers between 10-1000 and network complexity coefficients between 1.3-6.6 have ...

in this paper, a novel mathematical model for a preemption multi-mode multi-objective resource-constrained project scheduling problem with distinct due dates and positive and negative cash flows is presented. although optimization of bi-objective problems with due dates is an essential feature of real projects, little effort has been made in studying the p-mmrcpsp while due dates are included i...

Using data from the children of National Longitudinal Survey Youth 1979 cohort, spanning 1986 to 2014, we investigated whether White, Black, and Hispanic whose parents had same wealth, measured as net worth, have equal math reading achievement trajectories age five through fourteen. Black often significantly worse scores than same-wealth Whites. We also found racial variation, disadvantage Blac...

We propose a dynamic theory of financial intermediaries as collateralization specialists that are better able to collateralize claims than households. Intermediaries require capital as they can borrow against their loans only to the extent that households themselves can collateralize the assets backing the loans. The net worth of financial intermediaries and the corporate sector are both state ...

There is a general belief that policymakers take into account credit channel conditions when deciding monetary policy. However, literature lacks evidence on the specific role of credit channel in monetary policymaking. This paper estimates an extended version of the Taylor rule by incorporating credit channel variables explicitly. In particular, net worth capital ratio, bankruptcy cost and defa...
