Offshore Investment $119.48 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Offshore investment is the keeping of money in a jurisdiction other than ones country of residence. Offshore jurisdictions are a commonly accepted solution to reducing tax burdens levied in most countries to both large and small scale investors alike. Selected offshore domiciles may serve as havens for tax evasion, money laundering, or to conceal or protect illegally acquired money from law enforcement in the investors country. They also allow legitimate investors to take advantage of higher rates of return or lower rates of tax on that return offered by operating via such domiciles. The advantage to offshore investment is that such operations are both legal and less costly than the solutions offered in the investors country or onshore. Locations favored by investors for low rates of tax are known as offshore financial centers or (sometimes) tax havens. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Corporate Tax Competition for Investment $154.53 Tax competition models show taxation as a key variable in investment location decisions. Countries reduce taxation to attract firms. Firms locate their investments where the net return on capital is higher due to a lower tax burden. But tax competition is not optimal because the lowering of the tax burden causes an inefficient allocation of capital and provision of public goods. Thus, tax policies in an economic area such as the European Union should be coordinated. This book presents a behavioural approach where both uncertainty and the cognitive characteristics of managers have a central role. Investment location decisions are shown to be significantly explained by heuristics arising from the uncertainty faced by managers, while the role of taxation appears to be less significant than it is usually assumed. Therefore, not only countries should reconsider emphasizing taxation when implementing policies to attract investment but the main argument for corporate tax integration in the EU simply vanishes. The book may help managers dealing with investment decisions, public officials designing incentives to attract firms and lecturers in international economics or management.

Hedge Fund Investment Management $134.08 There has been a tremendous growth in the Hedge Fund industry in recent years. It is estimated that there are more than 8000 Hedge Funds in the US alone. They have grown in popularity since the bear market of the early 2000s which convinced many people that they cannot just own stocks outright or inside mutual funds. Most investors understand mutual funds. They understand that the manager selects stocks and buys them. They also understand why they made (or lost) money in their mutual fund investments. The same thing cannot be said about Hedge Funds which come in a variety of flavors. Even savvy investors are often hard pressed to explain the sources of return on their Hedge Funds. This book should be read by anyone who has invested in, or is considering an investment in, a Hedge Fund and also by anyone who is considering starting one. The book explains the different types of funds as well as covering the key issues in every type of Hedge Fund. This book covers the entire gamut of the Hedge Fund industry. The authors explain the different styles of Hedge Funds (e.g. market neutral, convertible bond arbitrage, fixed income arbitrage and many more) and include a summary for each style of fund. The book also explains what a fund of funds is, and covers the recently introduced capital guarantees and describes the capital preservation concerns that are faced by investors.

The European Solar Energy Market $114.71 Solar energy holds the highest potential among renewable energy sources and is thus a vital driver for a future shift in the primary energy mix. So far little research has been done which takes into account a truly interdisciplinary approach. The paper outlines the political and legal framework for the European solar energy market and analyses the implications for the linkage between environmental and social sustainability and profitability. Market analyses show the effect of certain policies, room for improvement as well as chances and risks from the exporters point of view. They identify administrative hurdles which should be eliminated and show as well that feedin tariffs are much more effective than direct investment subsidies. The argument for taking into account external costs is derived from life cycle analyses showing the high degree of sustainability as well as profitability for the society as a whole. Exporters will find a very promising and dynamic and therefore volatile market in some European as well as overseas countries.
