Sort: By date | By status

Investment (capital budgeting) decisions of companies and factors that determine the timing and the level of investment

Date of begin: 26.06.2006

Members: Tamara Teplova, PhD, Marina Krylova

We investigate the empirical relationship between company's investment and fundamental financial factors relevant for investment decisions: growth opportunity (market-to-book ratio), return on capital, return on sales, profit (accounting and economic), ownership structure and measures of uncertainty. We consider firm's common stock return volatility as one of the measure of uncertainty and decompose it into market and specific risks. The sample consists of publicly traded Russian companies.


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

There is strong empirical evidence that in emerging markets unsystematic risk is very significant since the markets are inefficient.
