Equity Valuation and Negative Earnings
Building upon Feltham and Ohlson models, this book examines positive loss-earnings within the context of the dot.com bubble during the boom years of the late 1990s bull market. The strong demand for equity financing captured the imagination of investors from Europe and U.S. like never before. With a focus on U.S. Internet companies, the book explores both the birth and the death of the new economy, and how negative earnings and losses still garnered large investments and successful IPOs (Initial Public Offerings). As Internet based ventures and the digital economy keep attracting large amounts of equity financing, this book explains that there is something unique in the valuation and pricing of tech companies. The book was written for corporate financiers, capital market professionals, and academics to further their understanding of equity valuation and the effects of equity trading.
Family Influence on Performance of Family Small and Medium Enterprises
This book examines the relationship between family influence and financial performance and non-economic goals in small and medium family-owned enterprises (SME) in Portugal. Research on the performance of family-owned firms is growing but results are mixed, especially for non-listed companies.

Given the importance of family firms to open economies, this book would be a valuable read to scholars aiming to understand the reasons behind their success, managers seeking out strategic and operational guidance and to regulators and policymakers at the regional and national levels.

Many scholars and practitioners attribute the roots of the crisis to failures and weaknesses in the way corporate governance has been practiced since the mid-1990s. Lax board oversight of top management, short-termism and self-interested behavior have been fingered as the culprits behind recent financial turmoil. This book highl...
Estudos Sobre Negócio e Contratos
A presente coletânea de textos, dividida em duas partes, em que se apresentam conceitos introdutórios de economia aplicados ao Direito, analisa decisões judiciais, avança em matéria societária e contratual, demonstrando que, sem dúvida, no que concerne a direitos patrimoniais, o diálogo entre as duas áreas – direito e economia – tem nos pesquisadores de diversos países, operadores do Direito, força propulsora que ensejará ganhos para a sociedade. Melhor o diálogo do que a batalha que deixa sequelas, muitas vezes irreparáveis. Dialogar com outras áreas do conhecimento, compreender suas dificuldades e metas, foi o que se deu nos Estados Unidos da América, quando economistas, para melhor compreender comportamentos humanos, se debruçaram sobre normas jurídicas e decisões judiciais para explicar seu impacto sobre a economia. Esta obra se propõe introdutoriamente a mesma função, porém especialmente voltada ao direito brasileiro e de países com ordenamento jurídico fundado na civil law.
