concept; it results from the conjunction of an uncontrolled random and the existence of an issue or an environment that may be affected by such an event. Thus, we try in this study to develop a process of risk identification, referring to the statistical theory of extreme values. In fact, the latter is an appropriate tool to make a decision through modeling the occurrence of extreme events. Our study consists on studying the risk associated to the Mildiou of grapes in the vineyards of the Cape Bon Tunisia

equation (1a) derived above and shows that the value of both investor choices (i) and (ii) are equal. The calculation of the Risky PV01 requires a model because we need to take into account the riskiness of each premium payment by calculating the probability of the reference entity surviving to each premium payment date. These survival probabilities used in the valuation of the Risky PV01 must be the arbitrage-free survival probabilities. These are the survival probabilities that are implied by the

procedures to collect information about the questions and problems being studied, Analyze the collected information, and state the results or implications based on the analysis of the information. Basic research is conducted to develop or refine theory, not to solve immediate practical problems. Applied research is conducted to find solutions to current practical problems. Most of the educational research would be conducted for and classified towards the applied end of the basic-applied research

structure to develop a more powerful and empirically descriptive theory in which firms have low long-run leverage targets, debt issuances are temporary deviations from target to meet unanticipated capital needs, firms rebalance to target with a lag despite zero adjustment costs, and mature firms pay substantial dividends to foster access to external equity while limiting internal funds to control agency costs and reduce corporate taxes. The theory generates new testable hypotheses and resolves the main capital

Affinities and frictions of trade networks. The paper analyses the effect of trade affinities on trade flows and shows different models used to perform the estimations. “The concept of trade affinity is introduced as a variable which influences the probability of trade contracts and customer links.” (Johansson & Westin, 1994, p. 250) They find that trade affinities aid to both shape and form customer links between trading partners. “The described approach implies that trade affinity is a general phenomenon

Get to grips with probability • Many people have little or no comprehension of elementary statistics or probability theory and their thinking suffers as a consequence. They make many errors that could be avoided by using basic statistics. • A basic grasp of basic probability will serve you well in understanding risk, chances, statistics and gambling. It will help you to assess choices and

factors are discussed by Mabin (1995). The first factor is the potential for cost distortions. The Management Group of the Institute of Management Accountants observed that the more the higher is the probability of the cost distortion problem is, the more likely are the companies to adopt ABC. The probability of cost distortion increases with the increase of diversity of products, their volume and the complexity of their processes. It has been established that the use of ABC in this context was highly

Finance: Key Concepts - Prospect Theory 12) Behavioral Finance: Conclusion Introduction According to conventional financial theory, the world and its participants are, for the most part, rational "wealth maximizers". However, there are many instances where emotion and psychology influence our decisions, causing us to behave in unpredictable or irrational ways. Behavioral finance is a relatively new field that seeks to combine behavioral and cognitive psychological theory with conventional economics
