The purpose of this research is to examine financial ratio performance of Ford is better, before and after global financial crisis 2008. Theories supporting research are financial management, financial statement, and financial ratio. Population is the annual report from 2002 to 2011 with sample of three years before and three years after 2008 and data will be analyzed using paired sample t-test. Result and conclusion is there is significant of Ford\u27s financial ratio performance before and after global financial crisis 2008. Keywords: financial management, financial rati

Nonlinear error correction, asymmetric adjusment and cointegration

This paper has three main components. First, it outlines a model of nonlinear error correction (NEC) in which the linear error correction term a'Xt (the vector time series Xt is cointegrated, a is the cointegrating vector) is replaced by the nonlinear term g(a'X),ˇ where g(.) is a nonlinear function. Second, several types of asymmetries are discussed. The NEC model is shown to have an underlying structural model in the form of an adjustment cost model, with asymmetric adjustment costs. The implications for the NEC model of trending targets are explained. Third, it is shown that nonlinear error correction is present in a trivariate series of UK employment, wage, and capital stock

Financial Stress and Economic Activity

This paper briefly summarizes the results presented in Claessens, Köse and Terrones (2008a, 2008b) to provide a set of basic stylized facts about the linkages between macroeconomic and financial variables during recessions and episodes of financial stress, including the periods of credit crunches and asset (house and equity) price busts. The analysis employs a comprehensive database of key macroeconomic and financial variables for 21 OECD countries over the 1960-2007 period. The results indicate that recessions following periods of financial stress are often longer and deeper than other recessions are. The paper concludes with a short discussion of the implications of its findings for the current crisisFinancial Stress, Economic Activity, Business Cycles

Il ruolo di Ercole Silva nella diffusione del giardino ‘all’inglese’ tra XVIII e XIX secolo

Nel suo trattato “Dell’Arte de’ Giardini Inglesi”, Ercole Silva, definisce questi giardini «pittorici», in riferimento a una serie di caratteristiche che si traducono nei tre principi della varietà, della bellezza e della novità, ossia della sorpresa. Per il trattatista il giardino paesaggistico è frutto di interazione più di ogni altra forma d’arte. Il suo modus operandi prevedeva, pertanto, sia l’ideazione e la progettazione, sia la collocazione di elementi nel giardino che rispecchiassero la cultura del suo ideatore-creatore. Quest’ultimo è uno degli aspetti che accomunano l’operato del Silva a quello di Melchiorre Cesarotti. Le differenze più evidenti fra i due sono invece da collegare al rifiuto del primo per la sistemazione formale, a fronte di un legame ancora percepibile in Cesarotti verso il giardino di tradizione italiana, evidente nell’impianto non completamente libero dai vincoli di una griglia geometrica e dalla ricerca di simmetria

Political opportunism and countercyclical fiscal policy in election-year recessions

Political budget cycles (PBCs) have been well documented in the literature, albeit not for all circumstances. However, no work has been done on the impact of economic growth on the magnitude of PBCs. The theoretical model argues that a government has an incentive to increase fiscal manipulations when a recession is expected to hit and curtail re-election chances; this amounts to countercyclical policy for opportunistic rather than Keynesian motives. Very robust evidence for this behaviour is found in Portuguese municipalities; in election years, budget deficits go up even more and significantly so, when a recession is expected.Fundação para a Ciência e a TecnologiaCompete 2020Portugal 2020FEDE
