    • Abstract:
      This section presents abstracts of research papers on business finance, investment and security markets and insurance which were published as of June 1967. The model described in A Model of the Raw Materials Market consists of demand and supply functions for the post-war world. The explanatory variables in the equations include the terms of trade of raw materials, the level of world manufacturing production, a dummy variable for the Korean war period, and file time trend measuring various exogenous factors. In Finance Corporations, the corporation is put forward as a means of strengthening the equity capital basis of companies, too small to obtain quotation of their stocks and shares on the markets. This proposal of a finance corporation has been developed to meet the threats presented by high capital gearing to small and medium sized businesses, which are expanding rapidly. According to The Path to Equilibrium, when a competitive industry is plagued with excess capacity, and its firms display constant short-run marginal cost, equilibrium is brought about by the Current Assets Mechanism. The Effect of Financial Structure on the Market Value of Companies outlines the theory that the capital market discounts the expected return of a company at a capitalization rate which decreases linearly with the proportion of debt in its financial structure.
