ABSTRACT Modern portfolio managers find themselves facing an increasingly challenging situation with global asset allocation. The concept of traditional asset classification has been constantly questioned yet no consensus has been reached upon in either real practice or academia. Our research attempts to answer the question of whether or not the traditional asset class definition could prove to be optimal in terms of generating the best efficient frontiers‚ and if it exist alternatives to reach

testing cointegration approach confirms the valid long run relationship between terrorism and tourism. Results indicate the significant negative impact of terrorism on tourism in the long run as well as in the short run. Results of rolling window estimation method indicate that terrorism having negative coefficients throughout the sample period. Results of dynamic ordinary least square (DOLS) suggest that the results will remain the same in the future up to lead 2. Results of Granger causality test

1. Cohen calculated Nike’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) to be 8.3%. I find error in this calculation as a result of the following points of disagreement: a) Weighting of Capital Structure: Use of book values of capital rather than the market values b) Cost of Debt Calculation: Incorrect method for calculating debt c) Tax Rate: Use of a tax rate derived from the summation of state and statutory taxes instead of the firm’s marginal tax rate 2. Revised Calculation of WACC: WACC

Regression with a Binary Dependent Variable Binary Dependent Variables and the Linear Probability Model • • • Many of the decisions made by people are binary. What factors drive a person’s decision? This question leads to regression with a binary dependent variable. The binary choice problem is an example of models with limited dependent variables (see Appendix 9.3 for details). Note that the multiple regression model discussed earlier does not preclude a dependent variable from being binary

The Classical Linear Regression Models Introduction The Simple Regression Model The Multiple Linear Regression Models Violations of the Assumptions of CLRMs Some Concepts: Regression‚ Causation‚ and Correlation • • • • Regression is estimation or prediction of the average value of a dependent variable on the basis of the fixed values of other variables. Causation comes from theory rather than statistics. Thus‚ regression does not necessarily imply causation. Correlation measures the strength
