Additive and Multiplicative Uncertainty Revisited: What Explains the Contrasting Biases?

above the certainty level while for additive uncertainty the price should be lower than the certainty level. This note gives an intuitive explanation for the result after first presenting a parsimonious review of the two models. We also discuss which, if either, of the two models is more realistic.

iTV: A major opportunity for financial services,or not?

Interactive television has arrived, thanks to substantial technology investments that have been made by Sky and others. It is growing in importance as innovative interactive applications are developed for broadcast programmes (eg the BBCi service and Big Brother), and for advertising — and will develop further when broadband deployment gets to critical mass. Readers should not expect a television-variant of the world wide web, however. This was tried during 2000–2002 in the form of web look-alike, interactive ‘walled garden’ sites, and failed to attract critical mass footfall. The model has evolved and now revolves around interactive content synchronised with broadcast, which offers financial services companies an interesting new way to increase awareness and to differentiate the service presentation. Furthermore, over the next ten years, broadband is expected to usher in a new era of personalised television — in which specialised broadcasts (such as personal pensions advice programmes) can be made available on demand. The observations in this paper are mainly drawn from the UK, where digital television penetration is high; the lessons can be applied more broadly, however, and are relevant to any organisation thinking of promoting its service through entertainment channels.

契约角度的资本结构优化

企业作为一系列契约的耦合体,在组织形式上表现为通过对企业契约的控制权与剩余索取权的对应配置而形成的治理结构,在广义会计上则表现为企业的资本结构。从资本结构的主要构成内容来看,债券或债务与股票都是规制资本交易的两种契约手段,故从契约角度研究资本结构便日益受到重视。本文在前人研究的基础上,从会计等式的契约属性出发,从而实现契约与资本结构的对接,并在分析股权契约与债务契约的特点和功能的基础上,提出了通过股权契约与债务契约的适度耦合来优化资本结构的新思路。
