Economic Profit Creation of Russian companies

Date of begin: 26.06.2006

Members: Irina Ivashkovskaya, PhD, CFC leader, Irina Smirnova

A variety of studies has appeared in response to the need for value based performance measurement during the last two decades. These research papers are devoted to the empirical testing of economic value added (EVA) in comparison with other conventional accounting measures. Although the geography of the studies is covering more and more emerging markets – Brazil (Medeiros), Portugal (Peixoto), India (Ramana), Australia (West & Worthington (2004)) – economic value valuation hypothesis still hasn’t been tested on the CIS and Russian data.


Status: panel data creation, derivation of the standardized EVA, economic profit adjustments

Multiples valuation in Emerging markets: the analysis of factors influencing the multiples values

Date of begin: 26.06.2006

Members: Irina Ivashkovskaya, PhD, CFC leader, Ivan Kuznetsov, Alexander Parkhomenko

The aim of this project is to identify and to reveal the main factors affecting the market multiples values to be used in valuation in emerging markets. A number of examples suggest that comparative market valuation methodology derived from developed market’s peers should be properly adjusted to emerging markets finance. However, the significance, magnitude and relevance of the emerging finance effects over the market multiples valuation are weakly understood.

Status: literature overview, model discussions, data collection, preliminary testing

Corporate diversification analysis

Date of begin: 01.02.2007

Members: Irina Ivashkovskaya, PhD, CFC leader, Svetlana Shamraeva

The orthodox economic theory investigates firms that are homogeneous producers of single products. However, nowadays the diversified companies, which operate in different business segments, are of great research interest. Businesses with multiple lines with customized Value-based management approach tend to be the dominant feature of the most Emerging markets landscape.
Generally, the aim of our research is to examine the diversification strategy value of Russian companies. Our motivation to analyze Russian companies is based mainly on insufficiency of empirical studies, so we want to fulfill this gap and to enrich the tools of Emerging markets research.
