A critical determinant of successful event management is the capacity to predict and monitor event costs and revenues. Cost blow-outs or lower than expected revenues can significantly impact an event’s financial performance, turn an anticipated profit into a loss, create major cash flow problems, and impair the financial health of an events business.

Cash flow is an indicator showing the difference between income and expenses for a certain period. Cash flow takes into account the activities from investment, business, employment, charity and other monetary activities, as well as one’s costs, mandatory and optional, and other expenses. Such designation as «cash flow» is used both in business and in private. Cash flow determines solvency, plans for the future, past expenses and even possible bankruptcy. Why is cash flow a key indicator of financial performance?

We investigate the Dead Hand Proxy Put, a contractual innovation in corporate debt agreements that may impact hedge fund activism. We find the provision principally in loans, not bonds, and provide evidence linking the adoption of the provision to hedge fund activism. Furthermore, controlling for endogeneity, we find that the provision significantly reduces the cost of loans. Bondholder wealth also increases. Moreover, cross-sectional analysis of share returns reveals that the provision is positively associated with repeat banking relationships and negatively associated with free cash flow problems, suggesting a cost-benefit tradeoff.

We study the investment–cash flow sensitivities of U.S. firms from 1971–2009. Our tests extend the literature in several key ways and provide strong evidence that cash flow explains investment beyond its correlation with q. A dollar of current- and prior-year cash flow is associated with $0.32 of additional investment for firms that are the least likely to be constrained and $0.63 of additional investment for firms that are the most likely to be constrained, even after correcting for measurement error in q. Our results suggest that financing constraints and free-cash-flow problems are important for investment decisions.


Subject The future of the Venezuela-dependent ALBA. Significance Although Venezuela's discretionary involvement in the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA) will be hit by its cash-flow problems, ALBA's better designed and more institutionalised initiatives (Petrocaribe, the SUCRE virtual currency) will continue to function. However, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's efforts to make political capital out of conflict with Guyana has reinforced the historical division between Anglophone and Latin states that ALBA looked to bridge, whereas larger Andean ALBA members continue to shift their attention towards Mercosur. Impacts ALBA will continue to stagnate unless oil prices rise significantly. Schemes similar to SUCRE are likely to appear, incorporating non-ALBA members. The Guyana conflict will entrench positions in the Anglophone Caribbean and Latin America; international arbitration is likely.

AbstractIn this article, I argue not just that many artisans and retailers in the Roman world were able to finance their businesses only by relying heavily on access to credit, but also that they depended primarily upon trade credit—that is, upon interpersonal credit provided to them by suppliers and subcontractors to whom they were linked by relationships of trust, and from whom they purchased goods and services on account. This was true primarily because most artisans and retailers catered to clients who often lacked ready money when they made purchases, and thus found it necessary to offer shop credit instead of concluding sales in exchange for immediate cash payments. This strategy in turn exacerbated their own cash flow problems and compelled them to incur liabilities that could easily match or exceed the value of their tangible assets. In these circumstances, many found that trade credit was both more accessible than loans procured on the credit market (for which they often lacked the necessary collateral), and also less risky, since suppliers of trade credit could be more forgiving of missed payments than conventional lenders (who were likely to take actions that could result either in seizure of an entrepreneur’s collateral or in his or her insolvency).
